OK, actually, I've spent a lot more on my iPhones. I'm based in the UK, and haven't always gone for the base storage option, but I've always had the 'Pro Max' or nearest equivalent – that's £18,200 in UK money, where I am, before we even think about how much I've given to the cellular networks for the privilege of using the phone!
But am I going to carry on buying new shirts for Tim Cook and friends – not to mention funding the cost of cleaning the glass on Apple's preposterous glass donut in California? Well, I like to think that I'll make my decision based on real value of the camera that I always have with me (against the re-sale value for last year's iPhone 16 Pro Max).
