That's where you are wrong. The truth is that for a for a massive chunk of the population a 200€ phone straight from China like a Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 [1] is plenty enough.
Not great, but not terrible camera. Not flagship, but not sluggish processor. Nice bright 90Hz AMOLED display. 33W Fast Charging. Runs TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Chrome and so on without a hiccup.
What else do you really need?

- afavour 4y agoIMO it’s all a matter of perspective. I typically keep a phone for around two years. Ignoring for a second that iPhones are typically more future proof than Android phones, the $200 difference between mid-tier Android and iPhone SE is $8.33 a month. Is the iPhone a superior experience? IMO, yes. Do I need it? No. But do I use my phone enough that $8 a month is worth it for the improvement? Absolutely.
- adlpz 4y agoSure, I agree, I use an iPhone myself. But I do agree because I'm very tied to the ecosystem, I use lots of Apple products, the whole experience is worth it. For your usual non-tech professional using your typical five free social media apps, taking a couple pics for Instagram and doing a few calls? I don't think it's worth the extra $8. Better get coffee.
