Its dont mindlessly buy any new thing Apple puts out
mindlessly
my point is:
if i (mindlessly perhaps?) concede the point that those consumers are mindlessly spending money on useless things... then so what? its their money, let them do what they want with it. why make value judgments?
unless you have the money to blow, then having critical thinking is an important skill. to ask yourself "is this a waste of money?", "should I really be buying one of these every year?"

...with their own money. For items they see a use for. What they consider to be worth it.

"Hm, is this worth it to me? Yes." There you go.

I agree every year is a bit much, but I'm not trying to stop people from spending their money in way they find useful. It's not my money. I'm ok with that.
