The 7+ is a firmly mid range phone. Why even try and compare them?

• horsawlarway 7y ago
  Because the question was "Why not buy an iphone?" I think price is a pretty freaking good justification. I don't need to pay a 500 dollar mark-up to move out of "mid-range" when it does EVERYTHING I need my phone to do just fine.

    A new iPhone 7 is $449.

      A month salary in many developing countries for a phone, no thanks.

        And about the same price as the Nokia 7+...
        • pjmlp 7y ago
          Nokia 7+ can be obtained for 200 euros with deals on shopping malls, half of a iPhone 7 price, and it is a 2019 device. 200 euros less than a 3 year old phone, and while still too expensive for some developing countries, it feels being less wastefull of our society resources.

            The 7+ is from early 2018. The iPhone 7 likely outperforms the 7+, and it will probably have software support for longer.

              Fair enough I got wrong on the date. It was just an example anyway. It is still one year younger, and for the remaining of your statement it doesn't justify paying the extra 200 euros, not everyone swims in money you know? When the phone finally dies or gets stolen, those saved 200 euros are more than enough to get a new one.

                That is a whole different problem. People who don't have money are being left behind in yet another way: privacy. IMO there are no good choices in this regard. Either get an expensive Apple device (And get locked into their bullshit), get an Android powered device and have your data harvested by google and the oem, or have nothing. There are no low-end offerings that even attempt to address privacy.
