I get at least 2 years out of every phone I buy. At $8k, that will keep me in phones for at least 80 years assuming $200/phone (way above what I've ever paid for a single phone). Even if I get a single year out of each phone, $8k will keep me in phones till I reach my late 70s. Pointless, but will probably get snapped up by hipsters as an affectation.
