This works for people who have FOMO and keep upgrading every time a new model comes out and have a monthly payment in perpetuity.

I just hope they don’t make this the ONLY option. I keep my phone until it dies or runs out of security updates.

The last time I upgraded was because the S22 Ultra had a 10x telephoto lens. Given the current state of phone cameras and zooms, I'm holding on this one until it stops getting updates or it breaks.
