There are new phones all the time, but does that mean anytime is the right time to buy a phone. Pickr explains.
Technology can be a little like the seasons. You know when summer and winter and spring and autumn are, and new technology can come in waves just like that.
That means that while you might want something now, there could actually be a better time to buy. And for phones, now is not that time.
So when is the right time to buy a phone, and what should you look for? If you use iPhone, is it easy to switch? What will you lose?
This week on ABC Melbourne Drive with Ali Moore, Pickr’s editor Leigh Stark talked phones and when to buy, plus how much you can spend and how long they last.
Tune into Melbourne Drive from February 17, 2026, and hit play from the 1 hour 36 minute mark (1.36.00) before it’s taken down.
