There will always be people who want the best, but good enough solution serves most people. Smart phones have reached a point where most are at least good enough.
A flagship Samsung is say $700. That is $500 more which is more than a couple bucks a month. Clearly well worth for you but probably not for a good portion of society.
- melling 8y agoYou’re talking in generalizations. Got any data to back up your claims? The average selling price for iPhones keeps increasing, and it’s over $700. If you’re talking about global markets then of course, $200 phones have always been more common. That’s why Android has 80% market share.
- bluGill 8y agoThe article backs them up. People in China are no longer seeing phone upgrades as worth it. At one time new hardware made your experience better. My last phone is a downgrade from the previous one (I physically broke my flagship just after the warranty expired so I got a mid range phone to save money), and I can't tell the difference.
