Begin thinking about how fast we replace our electronics, especially for those iOS users. Each year Apple launches more devices for each of its series, and users are always excited about the latest series even when there is not a big difference between the new and the previous one. Users are still concerned about the lack of a charger in the box of the new iPhone 12, but even with it, iPhone 12 is still a boom.

OMG, Lissa got the new iPhone 12!! It's got a new camera, and like, that's the only new feature. I bought my iPhone 11 just a couple of months ago, but now I need the new one!

That is us being taken over by The Apple Effect. The Apple Effect means the effect of a new version of a product being released by Apple that is no better than the previous one. Even when our devices still work like new ones, we are encouraged to get the recent ones because we are always following trends but following tech trends could be harmful to our budget and the environment. Apple is famous because of its high-grade specs and iconic designs that everybody adores, but what users hate about Apple is the previous devices are always seen as obsoletes whenever a new device appears on the market. Apple hardware and software were designed and crafted to last for a long time, and its prices will decrease through the years. Help yourself and the environment and keep your devices for longer or buy refurbished Apple products at great prices.
