    Fook you ballroot

    But also it will be funny watching the hipsters abandon their old ones and run out and get a new one each time it is released.

    Then bang on about how they cannot afford a house!

      If I stopped buying the latest iDroid phone I could save £30 a month on me contract, maybe more. How much house can I buy for that? How long will it take me to save £50k?

        Bin your £50/month iSlave contract off, buy a Wileyfox Storm for <£200 and get a SIM-only deal for £10/month. £50 * 24 = £1200. £200 + £10*24 = £440. HTHBIDI

          Assuming £4k take home at £2k a month just over 2 years.

            That's a £70k salary, £4k net a month.

            How many people under 40 earn that?

                    I would give up smoking if I were you its too expensive.

                      That's a £50k salary. Still not exactly the norm for most people.
