    No sane person buys a foldy phone, unless they completely fix the issue of it breaking because it got folded.

          T-Mobile has a Jump upgrade program, basically, you take a phone out on a 2 year Equipment Installment Plan where the cost is split on a monthly basis for 2 years.

          After the 1st year, you can do a Jump upgrade, you get a new phone and as long as the phone your jumping from is in decent condition you send it back, and they wipe the remaining year off.

          I average Jumping every year, the only time I stopped was when I was on a OnePlus 8T because they stopped selling their phones on T-Mobile, no other phone excited me except foldys but at the time it was only Samshits ridiculously skinny versions so I waited an extra year for the (at the time) rumored 0G Pixel Fold to drop.

          Then I resumed my yearly upgrades to the 9 pro Fold and will again for the Pixel 10 Foldy (unless another root-friendly competitor starts selling on T-Mobile)

      2 years on a foldable with no broken screens. It’s been a few years from the cracked screens.
