            a lot of folks like to treat themselves and good quality, long lasting tech with well executed, well supported feature-sets are a way of doing that, even if you have to take on debt to do it

        Not commenting about whether iPhones are worth $2K, or whether the S26 Ultra can/can't do most of what the iPhone can, but it's always been amusing to see with every release Samsung matching RRPs with Apple (e.g. S26 Ultra 256GB at $2199), but make avenues available to bring it down by up to 1/3rd before the phone's even out.

        I own the s26 ultra and I wish I never bought it. Everytime I have a Samsung or pixel phones I hate them.
        Apple definitely have a better user experience. And the phones usability is significantly smoother.
        Samsung feels like software components are tacked on. Apple feels like the whole phone system is as one.

      Memory and storage costs aside, a lot of companies seem to be basically testing the waters right now to see what people are willing to pay considering inflation doesn't seem to be affecting a good chunk of the population, especially people with paid off mortgages or ones comfortable racking up debt.

          My boomer parents had to reluctantly buy new iPhones because theirs were so grossly out of support and I don't want them getting a security exploit. They got the 14 series when the 16 came out I think.

          Unless the boomers are tech savvy - most I know just want a phone to do the basic things - easy to use and take photos of thr grandkids and holidays

      Because it has gone beyond being a phone and has become a status symbol. People love to spend money on something that makes them feel like they're better or more wealthy than someone else. They can make these 10 grand and people will still buy them, Apple owners don't care about the tech or features, they just care that it's expensive (and therefore the best) and that it makes them feel good/better than others with cheaper devices.

      It kinda makes sense for us. I'm on android but my wife and two boys 4 years apart are apple. There is a line of hand-me-downs. So the the youngest is on 12 pro, older kid on 14 pro and my wife is on 16 pro. I'll buy the 18 pro and it goes down the chain. Each phone gets 6-7 years of use, which android phones struggle to achieve.

        im talking about getting a basic smart phone, which can be had anywhere from $150, and spending the rest on something else that you use everyday.

        3-4K gets you a decent amp/speaker setup that kicks the living sh*t out of the cast majority of peoples living room setups.

        you could also wrangle a nice 55"+ OLED or 1080 projector into the mix if you are really on the bargain hunt.

        treat the home theatre as a metaphor, and substitute it with any other of your hobbies and interests…

        a decent amp under 1K + 2K for sub and speakers will get you a very decent 2.1 system for movies and music that will work in pretty much any room.

        it will certainly kick the ass of your sound bar.

        and if you hunt the used market, you can make even a modest 1-2K budget go very, very far.

      This is quite cheap really compared to what we used to pay for computers. The OLED display is good enough to watch a movie on, can watch 45 minutes of movie on a single charge, camera good enough to want to make nice prints of, more processing power than any other phone on the planet and most laptops. There is a lot to like and a lot of value.

        now people are buying $5K phones and $5K PCs - and there is a lot of redundant functional overlap, obviously. i mean does anyone rationalise "i don't need PC any more - I just bought a $5K iphone; economically i am so far in front, suckers!"

        lol @ watching a movie on your phone…and 45 mins no less? you don't work in sales, do you.

        re: camera - billboard pixel quality prints sound great but standard photo frame size? phones maxxed out in practical terms to that end there several generations ago.

        And you dont need enough processing power in your pocket to run a space station - people seem to forget that the primary function of these things is to send/receive SMS - emails/music/cameras/internet are a nice, convenient bonus - but all can be achieved with specs from over a decade ago.

        With everything going on with RAM that is actually not too bad

        I didn't neg you because that's what we've all been lead to believe by these companies. Yes it's ture, memory has skyrocketed but there is no way $1200 extra is a massive apple surcharge on top of what it would cost them to make

    $4.5k for a phone?
    Never thought we'd see this day.
    What's next, phones costing as much as a car?

      You can buy a car for 4.5k!

      🚗

      Looking at these prices I guess the cost of living and 12 interest rate rises doesn't effect everyone!

        True. No one cares about cost of living. Purple are still willing to spend.
