Seems perfectly find to me. If people want to spend it, of course a company will make it.
- jononor 9y agoCompetition is a hell of a lot better these days. A phone at 1/5 the cost will cover the same needs.
- visarga 9y agoI voted with my wallet since iPhone 4. I was an early enthusiast with iPhone and owned the first model, as soon as it came out, and the next 3 models after that. But at some point it started becoming so expensive I was put off. I can afford it but I was just disgusted. I have gone through 3 Android phones since and now use a Nexus 6P, which is a very nice phone.
- nebabyte 9y ago"vote with your wallet". I'll never stop being amazed at how readily americans buy into the "democracy = consumerism" equation. Or the number of things they happily apply that formula to. I suppose that 'we're here to change the world' soda commercial isn't nearly as absurd when you consider the audience.
