Default Holiday or iPhone X

I got asked weather I'd buy the new iPhone ten or spend the cash on a holiday I said holiday and got a real funny look off the guy who asked me like I was a weirdo

so what would you guys do if you had a choice on both with a thousand pound in your pocket?

All opinions and choices etc welcome

I'd personally save up alittle more and go for a bigger turbo, injectors, remap but this option wasn't given to me at the time

iPhone. Thought you had more sense than to waste your hard earned on such a con. I have never spent more than 20 quid on a phone and amazingly
I can use it to speak to people.

Egypt is fun but keep your elbows in when driving or you'll lose your arm

If I had any sense I wouldn't have a Subaru that I only drive 800miles a year

Besides mate I don't drink go out gamble or womanise so save plenty might aswell spend it on the iPhone ten for me it's more of a first new phone as the 6plus was wife's before she went all Samsung and so was the 5s I've always been handed down iPhones after my simple Nokia which I wish I could go back to if only it could have watsapp I wouldn't think twice damm it didn't even have a camera !

I think the big X does it for me on the ten or that's what my little bro says anyway might aswell be this as my first purchased iPhone ehh..

i dbjefo wont be driving in Egypt or anywhere else I just about manage

Holiday for me I think!
I always get a Samsung and go for a year old handset rather than the new release.

The problem is its Samsung; They always look good both in flesh and paper, but always seem to **** up somewhere. Be it the microwave, fridge, TV, monitor, DVD player, or laptop; Eveverything I have owned that's made by Samsung have all had problems and/or reliability issues in one way or the other. Still particularly annoyed over the Fridge, monitor and a phone I once had.

Eventually it took me some time to realise there are more to things than just the spec sheet and price.

Not saying I'll never buy one of their phones. But I'll never buy their monitors or fridge/freezers..ever! Jack of all trades springs to mind.

Unfortunately Apple not reliable either , as I've discovered to my cost !
I suspect I'm not the only one either - they simply swap gear out, before anything gets said too much
