<prompt> Human: TL;DR buy iPhone 7 plus then sell next year and buy the iPhone 7s for the long run saving around 300, or stick with pieced together iPhone 5 for a 5th year?I am high school senior and a few weeks back I posted about possible jobs. I did end up getting a job that pays 9hr, and have been working 20 hours a week. In addition to tips, money from my other job, and other money I just save as I there hasnt been anything else Id like, I have saved a bit over 1000.Ive been running on an iPhone 5 which only holds a bit over an hour of battery thus I carry a battery everywhere, screen glitchy, screen is taped to the body screen fell out, sides cracked, and fingers too fat for screen.Recently, the iPhone 7 came out and while I was planning on holding out until next years iPhone, my ability to now buy an iPhone 7 outright and the screen falling out have led me to really consider buying the new iPhone then reselling it next year right before the new iPhone comes out then sticking with that for another 3-5 years depending on how long it lasts without breaking or the screen falling out :p.My problem is, I dont want to be irresponsible and buy this phone and waste 300 after selling the phone just for pleasure but at the same time I feel like Ive exhausted my iPhone 5 heavily and dont want to keep trying to tape this phone together for another whole year to save about 300 or more? Im estimating the depreciation.So what does PF think?  <response>: I dont understand why you need to buy an iphone 7s next year. Couldnt you buy an iphone 6 for 320 ebay daily deals, use it for 2 years, then buy an iphone 7 non-S? Especially at your age Id rather have the money in the bank, for a car, spring break, etc.
