Should I buy an Iphone from first salary

My current phone is almost 4 years old so I am in dire need of a new one, most of my friends/colleagues are buying Iphone and recommending me the same(since it has best camera + brand value) but for me spending most of my salary on a phone seems absurd....

If you have to ask you know the answer. Financial discipline is a by product of self discipline. This one choice could play a vital role in how you spend money in the future. So, it is better take a decision on your own rather than asking people here.

Makes sense, but it's not about financial discipline but whether it's worth it to buy one cause price seems absurdly high for a phone..

But what’s the point of money if you cannot buy things you really want

What is your current salary? If you earn 300k per month, buying an iPhone is a no brainer splurge.

Since you mentioned most of your salary, would recommend saving money for next 6 months and buying it then. Its discipline, and doesn't feel regret heavy. If you don't mind you could also check with people around you if they want to sell their existing iphone.

Lol. As a first lesson into personal finance - Don't ever fall for peer pressure for anything in life. Look at your requirements and budget.

If iPhone fits your budget and requirements go for it. If it is an aspirational purchase again go for it but bear in mind the cost. Your friends won't pay the EMIs.

The best camera in hands of a normal user would still click the same photos as a 30k phone. Look at your photography requirements.

If you can't buy it twice, you can't afford it. Applies to every significant purchase.
