That’s not a smart choice to finance. First release is almost always overpriced and going to rapidly devalue. There’s a ton of R&D overhead to cover with initial launch of a new product line. The next iteration will be less expensive, or at least have multiple models with tiered pricing.
Remember this next time you are cringing at something dumb you did in the past. You will never be as stupid as Wes Davis.
Excuse my ignorance but who is wes Davis and why is he so stupid?
He wrote the article
Wow I feel a little stupid, thanks friend.
Don't, he's much more stupid. Davis, that is.
Lol no I get it from the way I said that it probably sounded like somebody famous
First release aside the vast majority of electronics depreciate steeply . Financing it in a time of high interest rates is... ridiculous.
Apple almost never lowers prices, they give the illusion of giving you more the next refresh round.
