Today's $1,200 handset can be had 24 months from now for 1/4th of that. To forestall the "I broke my phone and need something NOW!" argument I'd point out that phones like the Samsung Galaxy A15 exist, are COMPLETELY usable, and cost less than $200 brand new.
Anyone forking out $1,000+ for a new phone either has some very specific needs or is stuck in a FOMO trap.
