It's not the iPhone's fault, it's the mobile company's fault!

When I changed the model of my cell phone earlier this month, I checked the status of my iPhone X and was shocked.

My current iPhone X is for work use, and I signed up for a four-year contract with AU (upgrade program EX), but I realized that this contract would be a loss if I plan on using the device for a long time.

Originally, I was planning to own the iPhone X after the four-year payment was over, but in this case, I would end up paying a lot of money, so it didn't make sense, so I ended up changing the model and returning the device. It turns out.

Moreover, if you stay with this contract, you will either have to change the model or cancel the contract, so it is a true lock-in.

So I decided to give up on the iPhone X I'm currently using.
However, fortunately, perhaps due to the lack of popularity of the new model, I was able to change to iPhone 11 Pro yesterday, and this time, the next day after changing the model, I immediately canceled my contract (upgrade program EX).
There was some kind of special program fee point, but the mechanism was difficult to understand, so I gave it up without worrying about it, knowing the loss. After all, the iPhone 11 Pro is now mine.
This time I failed, I learned from experience and perseverance, paid the mobile company's relatively high device fee, and next time I will purchase the device from Apple.

However, I'm impressed that Apple releases new iPhones every year, even though most products other than the iPhone are sold after two years at the earliest.
Well, new releases every year are just like new products at a convenience store, so it's natural that there will be hits and misses.

Also, when the iPhone was released, only people who didn't like Macs were interested in it, and they looked forward to the announcement even if it was fake, but now it's so common to hear fake news that people can only look forward to it after it's announced.

I often say that now is the time to buy because of the specs, but when it comes to Apple products, the best time to buy is when you want it! I think it is.
Even if you are particular about the specs, there are probably very few people who can utilize the full performance. Some people say that because new products are expensive, it's okay to buy the first or second product, but unless the reviews are too bad, I recommend purchasing a new product at least once.

Also, is there anything that can be done about a system where the mobile company never loses money and the unknowing purchaser loses money?
It's strange that buyers don't do anything special even if they pay in full or in cash.
Basically, the point is that only those who understand the mechanism well will gain, and I think most people lose out because they don't understand it well...

We are transitioning to a cashless system, but in a system where only large companies make money, people start to feel safer paying in cash. I guess some of the profits of big companies and corporations go to the people who turn a blind eye.
Am I the only one who feels it's even worse than before?
Who benefits from making the people lose their bones! !
