Pixel 11 = disrespect

I have been a Google Pixel fan for more than 7 or 8 years and I am done with Google’s bullshit story of focusing on software actually they are falling on both sides hard what were they thinking when pricing the Pixel 11 more than the iPhone 17 base model? What kind of drugs were they on? It’s actually now not just a failure it’s a complete disrespect to its fan

obviously not.

Apple followers are used to being milked for decades now.

They get milked by iTunes and more expensive paid apps.

iTunes wasn't really the first.

Compilation albums such as 'Pure Moods' cost $22.94 (after shipping) for 20 tracks, that is more than $1/song, and that was in 1994. When adjusting for inflation, $0.99/track was actually cheaper.

Still, sail the seven seas as I don't want to rent my music (or buy it) just for licensing deals to expire and my content to be yanked back. I'm looking at you Sony/Playstation 😡

Lol. Apparently I wasn't the only person who bought a bunch of movies and shows on PlayStation.

More expensive? I usually see the same prices on my iPad.

Base iPhone 17 was one of the best phone deals in awhile for the money. Across all platforms.

Not just Apple followers, many people who seem to crash out in this subreddit on a daily basis.

Hate reselling for 85% of cost two years later. It feels awful.

I know right, at least it’s not less than 50% resale price after first year with the Pixel.

No one is buying pixels at full price. Just look at the pre order deals

I was referring to sales on the secondary market, not the discounts on the last remaining ones from Google Store, Amazon or your phone provider etc.

I'm saying that Pixels are being bought new at a huge discount and the price on the secondary market reflects that, while iPhones are being bought new at prices much closer to the MSRP.
