I demand that you tell me how do I afford a brand new latest generation (at the time of purchase) iPhone as a Russian who earns 500-600 USD per month after taxes, most of which goes to rent and food. Regarding storage, 256 GB is enough. Regarding the tier, honestly I think buying such an expensive phone without a telephoto camera is a fucking meme, so I'd of course massively prefer Pro or Pro Max, but given that I'm a poorfag, I'll settle for base iPhone, but not the e model.As far as I can tell, telco phone upgrade deals don't exist in Russia. 0% APR loans are sometimes offered by stores, but it seems that the stores that sell iPhone for the cheapest price, while still being a reliable store, don't offer such options.
>>224504200I can buy 3.7 iphones a month for my wageMaybe move to a different country Ivan or get a higher paying job
>>224504200Just buy a second hand/refurbished
>>224504200>I demand that you tell me how do I afford a brand new latest generation (at the time of purchase) iPhone as a Russian>as a RussianLeave Russia.
>>224504200>poorfag obsessed with that shitty brand Many such cases
>>224504200What do you use it for? Taking Tinder pictures?
>>224504200Have you tried sucking dick?
>>224504213>>224504237>Maybe move to a different country>Leave RussiaLiterally impossible to achieve if the target country is a first world country. If it's a third world country, then what's the point, it won't help me buy it.>>224504213>get a higher paying jobI have no idea what kind of white collar job pays well. I think the whole white collar job market is slowly dying in Russia, especially for newcomers.>>224504240I'm not obsessed with it. Do you think I can afford a Galaxy S26, a Pixel 10 Pro or a OnePlus 15? Of course not.
>>224504318>Literally impossible to achieve if the target country is a first world country.Move to a thirdie country first then a first world country.
>>224504339You can't move into a first world country from anywhere.
>>224504318go drill oil in yamalo nenets autonomous oblast you will be earning €5000 a month
>>224504318If you can't afford a high end phone then don't buy it dude. They depreciate very fast. Get a cheaper phone or something.
>>224504354>You can't move into a first world country from anywhere.
>>224504200I visited a south american favela back in the days, and saw their houses. They had dirtfloors, a plastic chair and a bed if lucky, but their kids was roided and had iphones. We needed two armed bodyguards to just be there, one in front and one behind with guns drawn
>>224504417Literally what's the point of living if you can't buy or afford anything nice?
Just buy Xiaomi or Huawei lol
>>224504318galaxy s26 is way cheaper than iphone get onet.s26 user
>>224504452>consumerism is the only sense in lifeJesus, Mr Goldman really fucked up your head. Good goy.
>>224504200i heard there are very good job opportunities for Russians in Eastern Ukrainethey say it's so great, most don't even come back, you should look into it
>>224504712How is wanting something good in your life consumerism? You think I buy a new phone every year or something? I would rather kill myself than buy cheap shit all my life.
>>224504622>t.
>>224504200do you have something equivalent to klarna?
>>224504200Kys, itoddler.
>>224504200I literally paid 900 euros a premium android phone who turbo rapes iPhone. Just take a premium android, it's better by far.
>>224505156slavoids worship iphones like you wouldnt believeits a status symbol to them
>>224505156this
>>224505091I'm under the impression that not really, no, at least anywhere where you'd actually want to buy a phone without a massive markup>>224505156>>224505193And I'm gonna afford that premium Android phone how?
>>224504200>iPhone as a RussianIf you're as dumb that you agree to use phone where half functions like NFC are disabled then you're braindead retard who have no chances of any good income
>>224505416I literally never pay with a phone, never.
>>224505427So be ready to not download apps too, because Apple regularly deletes russian banks from app storeTbh it's crazy how fast chinese brands are winning with such retarded western manufacturers policies
>>224505081mine isnt like that
I cannot afford to buy it even with 3k EUR, I can a company iPhone 17 though, it's a shit only women care abt
>>224505487>Apple regularly deletes russian banks from app storeThat's fine, I want as few Russian apps on my phone as possible.
>>224505507Normalement tu peux te le permettre avec 3000 euros par mois grâce au paiement en plusieurs fois et les forfaits téléphoniques qui payent le téléphone à ta place mais tu dois rester chez eux 24 mois.
>>224504200No clue. Most filipinos will never own an iphone because the price of an Iphone is higher than the average monthly salary here.
>>224504622>galaxy s26 is way cheaper than iphoneNo it's not
>>224504622Not anymore.
>>224504217Why not new
Why do you want an iphone?
>>224507699I like it, and the question is not really limited to iPhones
>>224507767Theres $200 phones that have everything that an iphone has, why do you need more?
Have you looked into other brands such as Samsung? They might offer better phones with roughly the same price point
Fuck you all, not a single answer of value
>>224508047I'm expert in android phones. The thing is that Russia is complicated currently and I can't answer properly. Because I think Russia will have services that will not work.I guess you can have Chinese premium phones with last android /or 16.Take one reconditioned for better price + payment in several times, generally 4 times is accepted everywhere.Target mini 12gb ram.Price will be around 500 euros or even 400 euros if you are lucky (reconditioned of course), and you pay in several times.
>>224508047Xiaomi Poco X8 Pro Max perhaps?
>>224508272That is not even the question that was asked in the OP
>>224504200why the fuck would you even care? ishit has worse specs than $200 chinkphones and I'd bet half of Apple exclusive features don't work in russia anyways
I always buy unopened ones from used sites. There is always someone who got gifted one and did not need it. Its usually cheaper than buying in store by 10-15%. I brought my last 4 iPhones like this. Sometimes you buy from the middle men, someone wants to sell one quickly and there comes the guy who makes a living from buying it up fast and selling it for a higher price but still lower than retail. Also brought two Airpods Pros the exact same way
>>224504200Steal one or buy off ebay
>>224510911So you think I should buy $200 chinkphones my whole life then?
>>224510947>Its usually cheaper than buying in store by 10-15%.I mean that doesn't make it buyable for someone with a 500-600 USD per month salary, does it?
>>224511001it's better than buying ishit for sure
>>224511068I don't want any chinkphone
I would recommend buying the cheapest Xiaomi and changing it when it breaks instead. The iphone is simply outside your salary range.Storage can be bought for cheap on aliexpress.
>>224511097ok? then pay way more for less I don't care
>only way out is emigration>Russian covers ears and yells "I CAN'T HEAR YOU"
>>224511025Well, no. Just aim for an older one and replace the battery with a 3rd party one? Honestly smartphones have been perfected since the iPhone X, that was the last smartphone that introduced a trend in the market. Ever since then its been basically the same with a slightly better cameras
>>224511159That's what I'm asking about in this thread in the first place
>>224511182I answered it pretty clearly in this thread. Even on Dvach every time I visit the emigration board and tell them about myself, they tell me that I'm too poor, too retarded, too much of a literal no one to be able to immigrate into a first world country and that I should fuck off from the board immediately
>>224511275Find work on Svalbard then you can buy one
>>224511318What kind of work can you find there without having any skills?
>>224511121Stop shilling your Chinese phones already. Literally what is the point of living if you're going to be buying the cheapest everything your whole life? Such life is worth jack shit.
Storage is overrated unless you record a ton of video or something. Podcasts and stuff are usually downloaded on the fly.
>>224511472Have you considered putting your money into upgrading your skills first rather than buying an iPhone?
The posts smell like a negative IQ.
>>224511613No because I don't give a fuck and because all white collar jobs are in downturn in Russia
>>224504200Phone contract maybe? Paying off in rates might also be a thing, I don’t know how Russia works.
>>224504305why does xhe need so many iPhones wtfalso pls link the vid where xhe sucks dick until the guy is dry it was very hot
>>224511580Ask for overtime ? Work on holidays ?
>>224504200>who earns 500-600 USD per month after taxesare you a part timer or something?
>>224511975Like that's going to make iPhone affordable
I can buy you one. As long as you're a cute ethnic grill. None of that slav gold digging whores.
>>224512612Nobody is a grill here
