It's worth buying a new phone when your current device stops receiving security updates, the battery degrades below 80% capacity, or when the repair cost exceeds 40% of the value of an equivalent new phone.
Strategic dates to buy at the best price:
- Weeks following the launch of a new model: Previous generations drop significantly in price.
- Major shopping events: Buen Fin, Prime Day, or Black Friday often offer real discounts or interest-free monthly payment plans.
