Geez, is that seriously the bottom end?
I paid US$500 for my current iPhone, which is about half that price, and just about the top of what I'd be willing to pay for a device with a useful life as short as that of your average smartphone. Should I seriously expect to be coughing up 100% more to replace my current phone if it craps out?
No thanks. Those sorts of hijinks make Nokia's bananaphone look more and more attractive.
- JackC 8y ago> is that seriously the bottom end? It's the middle end by average sales price -- about half of people pay less than that, about half pay more. Check out https://twitter.com/asymco/status/1040240778860146688 https://twitter.com/asymco/status/1040240778860146688 for the whole picture.
- tonyedgecombe 8y agoNo, the budget option is £449.
- gambiting 8y agoNo, the bottom end for Apple is the iPhone 7 - Apple is still selling it, for £449.
- copperx 8y agoThat's why I switched to Android. iOS is great and had no complaints about the platform. It was lovely. But the price hikes became ridiculous and as a symbolic protest I am now an Android user. I can't accept the prices anymore. Android isn't an equivalent replacement, but I can adapt.
