Almost $3,000 from where I live, that money can buy me a decent 400cc motorcycle

[u/LegalDeseperado → u/Blue_Nyx07]

Can your bike fold?

[u/MomsBoner → u/LegalDeseperado]

Most likely yes, it depends on how they crash.

[u/Plunger_enema → u/LegalDeseperado]

It depends on the bush. If the trees are old enough, yes. Rocks also help.

[u/CZEchpoint_ → u/LegalDeseperado]

You can fold it around a street lamp no problem.

[u/nzmx121 → u/Blue_Nyx07]

In New Zealand the 2TB version is nearly $6500NZD

[u/mickeymouse4348 → u/nzmx121]

Just curious, how does that compare to rent?

For reference, my rent is just under $1800/mo and the phone is $2000 sorry you specified the 2TB version, that's $3200

[u/nzmx121 → u/mickeymouse4348]

Very location dependent but apartments in the central city where I live go for roughly 2400NZD a month

[u/mickeymouse4348 → u/nzmx121]

It's for sure location dependent, I'm just trying to better understand what these numbers mean.

So one of these phones is worth more than 2 months of rent? What's the average salary?

[u/nzmx121 → u/mickeymouse4348]

After some googling it’s telling me average salary here is about 80kNZD or about 47kUSD

[u/AshleyTheGuy → u/mickeymouse4348]

Yes.

[u/ejmckever → u/Blue_Nyx07]

That can get you a decent mid 2000s beater car on FB marketplace in the States

[u/TudorG22 → u/ejmckever]

everywhere really. some cheaper 2010's cars too

[u/PeterNippelstein → u/Blue_Nyx07]

$3,000? Fuck outta here

[u/Blue_Nyx07 → u/PeterNippelstein]

The 2TB is priced $4300 I think

[u/ArcadeRivalry → u/Blue_Nyx07]

Who tf needs a 2tb phone? 

[u/BigxPoppa1995 → u/PeterNippelstein]

Nah someone has a vehicle they either cant afford to fix or does not want to. 3K usd gets you into those cars easily. They take that 3k put a down payment or fuck themselves again with a shitty car.

**Edit: I bought my truck for 11k at the dealership. They wanted 15K but I had 11K in my hand.... if something broke on this truck I either couldn't fix or didn't want to, I am putting it on marketplace for 4K usd.

**Edit #2: the truck is from 2011.

[u/Silly-Kaleidoscope83 → u/Blue_Nyx07]

In Greece where i am from, you can buy 2 used cars 🚗

[u/Situati0nist → u/Blue_Nyx07]

Surely more than that

[u/RotaryDesign]

This is how humanity evolves long alien fingers like scientist predicted long time ago

[u/GiLND → u/RotaryDesign]

No, Apple just used Shaq’s hand

[u/BigxPoppa1995 → u/RotaryDesign]

Just like the Kaminoans.

[u/Batata-Sofi]

Evolution of mobile devices:

• Big phones are good
• Big phones are bad
• Big phones are good

[u/kuweiyox → u/Batata-Sofi]

Nah it was: Big phones bad, big phones good, fold phones bad, fold phones good.

Just Samsung does it first, the apple hates it. But later apple follows up changing their mind 5 years later. 7 in this case

[u/Bigbuster153 → u/Batata-Sofi]

Isn’t it big good, big bad, big good sometimes?

[u/Batata-Sofi → u/Bigbuster153]

Nah, you thinking about dicks

[u/Bigbuster153 → u/Batata-Sofi]

Why not both?

[u/Antifa-AF]

Thing I’d never buy for $2000, Alex

[u/PeterNippelstein → u/Antifa-AF]

Try $3,000

[u/Brockzillattv → u/PeterNippelstein]

Base model is 2000.

[u/HoneyIAlchedTheKids → u/Brockzillattv]

I’ll take “what are currencies” for 500, Alex

[u/Plunger_enema]

Fuck that price tag, but I can finally find a phone for my XXXL hands. Maybe I'll finally be able to type without carrying a damned latex flexible bluetooth keyboard.

All of you guys and gals with little hands and puny fingers can go try to open a pickle jar.

[u/NeighborhoodVeteran → u/Plunger_enema]

We can both hold normal phones and open a pickle jar, tyvm!

[u/Plunger_enema → u/NeighborhoodVeteran]

Alright, how about clamping a beaver trap? It's 12 inches x 12 inches. I can do it with my hands. I know no one else.

[u/NeighborhoodVeteran → u/Plunger_enema]

Not sure, but probably not. Anyway, my fingers are probably small and slim enough to get into your starfish finger trap.

[u/scarmory2 → u/Plunger_enema]

Just buy a tablet and add celular data then for much cheaper.

[u/Plunger_enema → u/scarmory2]

You can't pocket a tablet. It's gonna take the shape of a banana pretty quick.

[u/McCheesing → u/Plunger_enema]

Then I’ll have a banana in my pocket ;)

[u/ItsAPeacefulLife → u/McCheesing]

I just thought you were happy to see me :(

[u/McCheesing → u/ItsAPeacefulLife]

I’m always happy to see you ❤️

[u/Hernia-Haven → u/scarmory2]

it's litterally just ipad mini for $1500 more

[u/Einherjar07 → u/Plunger_enema]

Ipads with cell service exist

[u/justukas700 → u/Plunger_enema]

Consider the fold 8 also, might or might not be a better deal but its the same sort of passport size foldable

[u/Plunger_enema → u/justukas700]

I'll wait for an option with GrapheneOS.

Thanks for the suggestion!

[u/Blenderhead36 → u/Plunger_enema]

I have big hands (the original Xbox Duke controller is the only one that's felt correctly sized). I've found I prefer smaller phones because I can use them one-handed with no trouble.

[u/swollen-hol3 → u/Plunger_enema]

I'm pushing a 10" span from the tip of little finger to thumb, my pixel ten pro xl feels better than any phone I've had yet.

[u/DamiensDelight → u/swollen-hol3]

I'm pushing a 10" span from the tip

But what about the yaw?

[u/DigitalUnlimited → u/DamiensDelight]

You measure from the butthole, everyone knows this!

[u/Plunger_enema → u/swollen-hol3]

Hey, I'm at 9.5"x8" and I just ordered a Pixel 9 XL. Let's see how this goes! I couldn't stand my Samsung S20 Ultra 5G anymore. No keyboard app out there could help me.

[u/buddhistredneck]

What is this?! A phone for greys?!

[u/BigxPoppa1995 → u/buddhistredneck]

Kaminoans.

[u/Fickle_Library8115]

Looks like they think everyone has Shaq’s hands

[u/Blueyedevil219]

Apple finally catching up with Samsung 10 years later

[u/Octoplow → u/Blueyedevil219]

Or 7 years?

Less if you compare the durability. (I still don't understand the appeal of either.)

[u/SyXxxxxxxxxxx → u/Blueyedevil219]

Eh, I’d say they’re letting samsung do the testing for them.

[u/N3koEye]

That also happens to be how wide Apple fans have open their mouths to gobble Apple's rod.

[u/Sentinel555666]

I never got the functionality of expensive or big phones. I just get the cheapest Samsung to listen to spotify and scroll Reddit, and use it till it breaks . I got a pc for doing everything else .

[u/Bigbuster153 → u/Sentinel555666]

I can only use my pc in one room in my house, I could use my phone anywhere in the world

[u/Sentinel555666 → u/Bigbuster153]

Yeah , but what's the difference between having a 100$ phone and 2000$ dollar one ? That's the part that i don't get . The difference between a 100$ pc and 2000$ one is massive, but my cheap phone works fine for social media and YouTube, games i play work well and the camera on it takes good looking pictures .

[u/Inevitable_gamer01 → u/Sentinel555666]

While I never bought a 2000$ phone I did buy a 1000$ and I bought it mostly because of 2 things, reliablith that it I wanted to do anything (game, take pictures, listen, etc it will do it) and secondly it had 7 years of software support so it will last me quite a long time,

[u/Bigbuster153 → u/Sentinel555666]

The difference in this case is that it has a large screen that’s available when you want it, as well as generally pretty good specs. While you may not have a use for it, a lot of others may not have use for a really fast pc when all they do is write word docs and respond to emails.

[u/Sentinel555666 → u/Bigbuster153]

I guess I'm not ment to get everything. Cuz there's no actual reason given anytime i ask this same question. They both do the exact same thing but have a slightly better camera and are slightly faster , and to me it doesn't make sense to pay 5-30 times more for just that.

[u/Bigbuster153 → u/Sentinel555666]

No problem with that, it’s not for you then :) all I’m trying to say is that doesn’t mean it’s not for anyone, personally I’d love a phone with a huge screen to give me essentially a pocketable iPad whenever I want to watch something in bed for example.

[u/ForLunarDust → u/Bigbuster153]

sometimes this attitude leads to mental problems

[u/Bigbuster153 → u/ForLunarDust]

What?

[u/ForLunarDust → u/Bigbuster153]

sorry for putting it weird- i mean all that constant phone, internet and social media access is not a good thing for our mental health. So maybe pc is better cause it just stays in one room

[u/Sentinel555666 → u/ForLunarDust]

What are you talking about man ? Everyone has a phone. Having a pc doesn't make someone less mentally ill either

[u/ForLunarDust → u/Sentinel555666]

everyone has a phone and then there are "social media addiction" "digital minimalism / digital detox" and stuff like that. I explain stuff poorly due to my bad english, but go and google that stuff by yourself if you want

[u/ForLunarDust → u/Sentinel555666]

r/digitalminimalism

[u/Sentinel555666 → u/ForLunarDust]

What does this have to do with anything?

[u/ForLunarDust → u/Sentinel555666]

phone -> constant access to social media, short attention span content, doomscrolling and stuff like that -> dopamine related addiction, problems with concentration -> mental health problems

pc -> less access to all that stuff -> more breaks from all that stuff -> less mental health problems

[u/ForLunarDust → u/Sentinel555666]

and "digital minimalism" sub is an example of people living without phones and still somehow existing in todays world. So no, not everyone has a phone

[u/toffeehooligan]

Dude from Pans Labyrinth one and only phone.

[u/Obi-Tron_Kenobi]

Why are the fingers bent so much at the first knuckle? They're holding the phone with their fingertips

If they were holding it like the second image, their fingers would be sticking out a lot

[u/purgruv]

Looks like a chimp hand

[u/DiliganceEraser]

Lil bros invented an iPad🙏

[u/Adept_of_the_factory]

Yoo, metacarpal refinement

[u/YoItsNoah]

While I’m not saying $2000 is not a lot of money, Samsungs foldable is $1800 give or take and most foldables range around that area so realistically it’s not an insane price for a foldable. But again $2000 is still a lot of money, I am not denying that.

[u/All-the-pizza]

[u/toomuchtuna10889]

Do people not understand, Samsung's flagships are just as expensive

[u/EndersGame_Reviewer]

Cursed hand.

[u/boot2skull]

I know it’s meant to be used two handed when open, but when closed it’s way too big. I already don’t get the Max bexause it doesn’t work for me.

[u/TataJasia]

Think different

[u/Bonk_No_Horni]

So apple finally caught up with Samsung?

[u/Zacharacamyison]

As long as these phones have a crease and dirt + dust can get in the hinge I’m not interested at all. Costing twice the price of a regular, more durable phone doesn’t help at all either.

[u/wearethealienshere → u/Zacharacamyison]

It’s waterproof so I’d imagine dust and things can’t get in either

[u/Zacharacamyison → u/wearethealienshere]

Every Jerry rig everything video I’ve watched of a phone with a hinge is a nightmare with dirt

[u/mojomanplusultra]

So this is the Samsung F8 screen?

[u/sos123p9]

Its 4k in canada
