Crazy how much the price of phones and laptops have shot up in the last year

People need to let one of these major releases flop so that companies try to be more "competitive" with pricing. When $1K flagships sell out that becomes the new baseline. People are dumb

2 years ago i bought an hp pavallion that is still tunning good for $629. I recently messed up my iphone 6 so i got a 6s 64gb for $312. I dont care about all that fancy shyt, i just need a phone to text, call, and surf the net


Why do i want to pay $700-$1000 for a phone i can do the same shyt im doing on a 6s payin that much just to have a new way of opening ur phone, camara quality is almost the same thing, animal animation, Bluetooth headphones which i would lose easily.... i dont even know what other specs they have but none i mentioned interest me

Apple products have always been expensive. The first iPhone was like 500$ at the time that was crazy expensive for a phone m

I dont get this example. It was sold at that premium because it was sold only through Apple and you were buying the device and had to activate at AT&T.

Once AT&T was able to sell the device themself (the very next iphone) the price was only $199

Everybody other than Apple is having trouble selling $1K phones. It hasn’t stopped companies from releasing them.

In 2008 $199 was seen as expensive for a phone.

I think Phone prices have stabilized a bit but I totally agree about laptops. The same laptop I purchased in 2013 for about $429 costs about $750 same specs and everything. It's insane.

not sure what world you lived in in 2008 but $199 was the norm for smart phones of all tech specs... from the Palm to the Blackberry

even prior Sidekick 3 (which wasnt even a smart phone, technically) and G1 were around that price as well..

you just seem to be making shyt up as you go along

No viruses? That just depends on your usage..that's not a pro

You make sure you find an angle to hate on Apple at all times

From your mindset

That’s the whole meaning of subjective. Meaning it’s not a “fact”. And I’m pretty sure not getting viruses would be a plus in most people’s mind
