It's really not. It's simple fact. If you can't realize that, the world will seem to like a very cruel place to you. 

 

You don't have to be "rich" to afford a phone like that. I'm not rich. I get a new phone every year. 

What the guys said was a dick statement. Saying a price barrier isn't a price barrier to some is the exact definition of a price barrier. If there weren't anyone rich enough to buy it then it would just not be feasible. I mean there is a difference between being rich and being a dbag.

Well most cannot afford a $1100 phone every year.

Pretty sure the reason why these über expensive phones even sell is due to monthly payments

Don't forget fanboys that have access to mommy's debit card.

Price isn't a barrier for everyone

For us young lads it is. My summer job does not cover th expenses of a new iPhone.

Well that's the most cunto statement of the year. Congrats on your reward.

 

@topic i sure hope the s10/s10+ pulls something good out the hat and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.... otherwise i might actually have to look at the iphones *fucking shudders*

[rawrdaysgoby]

How else was it suppose to look?

Any particular reason why?

Varies from year to year. Most of the time it's to get the most return on my device, however I also like to try different form factors or companies.

That wasn't what I said though, was it. He said a reason not to get it is because it's going to be expensive. That's not an issue for everyone.

Haha, well yeah. Though if you're 15 or 16 and working part time it only takes a couple months *shrug* All depends where your priorities lie.

Unless money is disposable to you, very few people buy a grand phone every year

Well if that's what you said then I would have to agree. Have a similar feeling about the 2080ti. People are mad because not everyone can afford it but that doesn't make me want it any less.

It's all relative. When rent is $3k/month for a small one bedroom, then what the hell is $40.

[hobobobo]

Iphone excess and Iphone excess plus, now those are the names i can get behind. Think different indeed

You have to realise that there are lots of poor countries. Here in Serbia the average monthly salary is only 400 euros, which means people buy budget and midrange phones and keep them for anywhere from 3 to 7 years.

 

Most YouTubers seem to get surprised by the fact that Huawei is pushing so many phones, but if you look at it from other perspectives, it makes sense.

 

No wonder why Apple themselves built an iPhone SE and the new iPhone 9.

Don't have to be rich, just has to be something you want to invest some money into

To you, perhaps.
Personally, I don't really care what you think, so it's a pointless remark to make *shrug*

Exactly. If enough people can afford it, it makes business sense to price it that high.

Bingo. That's less than what my rent in Vancouver was.

I do realize that. Flagship phones wouldn't really be on their radar. It's like how I'm not shopping for a Ferrari, because it's not financially feasible.

Obviously to me, i literally say "i consider it".

If you don't care, don't reply.

And would you know it, the promo images are exactly the same as in the official keynote... Sorry for anyone who got spoiled
