T-Mobile has a Jump upgrade program, basically, you take a phone out on a 2 year Equipment Installment Plan where the cost is split on a monthly basis for 2 years.
After the 1st year, you can do a Jump upgrade, you get a new phone and as long as the phone your jumping from is in decent condition you send it back, and they wipe the remaining year off.
I average Jumping every year, the only time I stopped was when I was on a OnePlus 8T because they stopped selling their phones on T-Mobile, no other phone excited me except foldys but at the time it was only Samshits ridiculously skinny versions so I waited an extra year for the (at the time) rumored 0G Pixel Fold to drop.
Then I resumed my yearly upgrades to the 9 pro Fold and will again for the Pixel 10 Foldy (unless another root-friendly competitor starts selling on T-Mobile)
If you don’t keep a device for at least 5 years you have no real basis to talk about its issues though, like of course it’s fine when it’s basically brand new the whole time you have it
Yeah people look at me like I’m bonkers when I tell them my xcover has lasted 6 years including getting run over in a crosswalk TWICE (and the screen only had to be replaced the second time after the otterbox took 100% of the damage from the first one). I feel like this replacing devices every year thing has to be terrible for society and the planet in like 5 different ways each.
