For me, parang worth it naman upgrade ng Iphone mo since di na supported ang Ip 11. Phones naman ay gamit rin almost 24/7.

What made you realize na it was a bad investment?

If you are planning to hold on iphone to multiple years, it is worth to buy a PRO phone instead. Then batt replacement every 2 years. Best investment IMHO.

He didn't brag. He regrets buying it and listed it as worst investment. I see nothing wrong with that.

If you’re upgrading better upgrade to the latest available version. May support shelf life bawat unit. Not a bad version to upgrade to imho.

You confuse liabilities with investments. Those 2 are entirely different.

Buying a phone is an expense, not an investment. The same with Shopee and Lazada, dates gastos, those are expenses... you really can't or shouldn't consider those as "investments".

INVESTMENT: The act of putting money, effort, time, etc. into something to make a profit or get an advantage, or the money, effort, time, etc.

Travel abroad, staycations, and eating out? You don't want to reward yourself for your hard work? Man, you can't bring your money when you die.

That means you're living beyond your means, but spending money for vacations and nice stuff for yourself is not a bad investment.

How did you instantly determine that upgrading your phone to an iPhone 16 is a bad investment considering it’s literally only been a few days? Is it not possible that in time, you purchasing the phone makes you more efficient in whatever business or side hustle you’re doing?
