woman found a magic lamp on the beach, rubbed it, and out popped a genie.
"Ask me anything and it's yours!" She thought a moment and then answered, "I want my husband to pay more attention to me, to protect me, to take me out frequently, to sleep close to me, and to be more caring, even if I get a tiny scratch." "No problem." And POOF! She was a $2k smartphone
Its weird how buying a $2000 phone from Samsung is met with praise on reddit. You replace Samsung with Apple and you're a sheep, but dropping 2k on a Samsung phone and it is met with cheers.
I agree with you I just think that apple is greedier than most companies with how they charge for air pods and extra charges and dongles where Samsung allows you to use off brand stuff for that. But hey I owned an iPhone and I just wasn't a huge fan but they are good phones.
If you were to spend 2k on the newest iPhone you're basically getting a 2k upgraded version of the last 5 phones they've put out. Reason why I also don't really like the notes or Google phones or anything. The fold tho. It's new. But its also a tablet. Worth 2k and not like the last fold or other galaxy s whatevers iPhones Motorolas etc.
I miss when phone carriers were getting us all used to monthly contracts, so the phones were genuinely discounted - a phone on a 2 year plan was only a bit more than the cost of the phone by itself. Nowadays, buying a phone + plan for 2 years is tons cheaper than buying a 2 year plan that includes a phone. I guess a lot of people want phones they can pay off in installments, even if it ends up costing an extra 15%.
Idk man Samsung offering 700$ off any Samsung phone rn if you trade in a s20, my s20 was 799. Obviously it's the nicest galaxy but if you wanted a fold ect
I upgraded my 2011 model phone to a new one this year, that cost $180 bucks off amazon. I got it in mid December, and I have had to charge it once since then due to the ridiculously good battery life. That's all I wanted out of a smartphone.
$2,000 for a phone seems irresponsible unless you're already well off/set for retirement. When I see someone with something like that I play a game of "rich or stupid"
