Many people want new phones at the moment and the company is employing fewer engineers than last year so as to save money. A new phone won’t cost you much money, but it will take a little time. We can’t do anything for you before December. ‘You need a lot of patience if you’re waiting for a new phone and you need a few friends whose phones you can use as well. Fortunately, I had both.
