True. But my point was that their phones don’t go up in price like people think. Yes, if you compare $499 for a bottom tier 4GB iPhone 2G to $1449 for a top of the line 512GB iPhone XS Max, they’re more expensive. But the cost for the base model has hovered around the $700 mark when adjusted (save for the few outliers such as the 2G, SE, X, and XS)
- dragonwriter 8y ago> But the cost for the base model If you mean the model with the number but no other modifier except sometimes “S”, that's true up through the iPhone 8, but that “base model” isn't the same place in the lineup in different generations. That model is the only (and thus flagship) model prior through the 5, but the bottom of the line for the 6 through 8 (well, middle of the road for the 7 generation, since that's when the SE came out as a bargain basement offering.) And for the X (same year as 8) and XS, it's just not even approximately true anymore.
