So we are talking about the economics of non-western countries? Presently, I use my phone about 8 times as much as my laptop. Maybe 16 times as much.

- piyush_soni 8y agoYes, I do realize that we use our phones much more than laptops. But again, everything that the iPhone does a cheaper phone does too, may be crappily, but that's all they can afford and it works for their needs. You can't solve every problem with financing because eventually you have to pay that.
- code_duck 8y agoThis is somewhat invalidated by the sales of older iPhones. I bought a $40 Kyocera one time. I suffered through a terrible camera, lousy software, slow everything, surely insecure software, lack of updates, and more. Later I realized I could have bought an iPhone 4s for $50 and been much, much better off. Currently I use an iPhone 6 that I purchased with no contract for $180. I suppose you could buy older Android phones too, but I think they stop getting updates sooner than iPhones. I've been impressed with how long Apple supports their old hardware.
