There are plenty like you Harry. I am one as well. I have a used phone that replaced a similar used phone when I sent it through the wash one night when I was dead tired. I am going to hold on to it until I can get a cheaper data service.
Still there are a lot of people that are "compelled" in one way or another, to get the latest. You know them I am sure. No one twists their arm literally, but the expressions "Will have to get that," "must have that," "irresistible," etc., does come into play with a lot of those people.
Some steal the phones or the money for the phones. Some use money that would be better spent elsewhere. Some trade kidneys for the phones.
