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.

Shut your fucking mouth. You're poor, you shouldn't even have a xiaomi, let alone an iphone.

What possible reason could there be for having a brand new/latest generation iphone?I make about $350 per day after tax. Yet I'm happy with my iphone 10. I have never owned a new car, and I don't think I've ever bought a new phone, either. Only used or refurbished.Explain it to me. Why do you even have the desire to own such a gadget? What does it even do?

You could always buy a referb, or see what deals your carrier offers.That being said I highly recommend not wasting your money like that. You can get a pretty solid android phone for a quarter of the price.

everyone in my work circle has iphones and they are always complaining about something going wrong... saying they need to go to an apple store. it's volunteering for an abusive relationship.
im pretty sure you want it because you covet it, not because it will improve your life.
i know modern russian "culture" is cargo cultish.
reject it. be free.
real wypipo dont care about flexing on people. that is a very brown thing to preoccupy your mind with.
having an iphone wouldnt change your life for the better.
you would be constantly anxious about breaking and losing it because youre a brokie.
you will break it, and it will become unusable in 1 year due to software updates, and you will have nothing to show for the money you spent.
galaxy is objectively a better phone in every measurable way except for camera quality and design aesthetics.

I'm an American. I use a 7 year old iPhone 11 Pro with a shot battery. Why do you need a new iPhone? Has yours stopped making calls, taking texts or otherwise not functioning? I don't know how the market is in russia but here you can usually find a 2-3 generation old iPhone for a huge discount. I bought mine cash from Swappa and put a new case and screen protector on it. It's been a good device other than iOS 26 slowing it down (should have stayed on 17)
