Newsflash (just looked it up), an iphone se is $429, a used one is cheaper, and factoring in support duration, may be cheaper yet. A friend who would've been among the last people I'd expect to use an iphone blogged this https://announce.asheesh.org/2022/09/i-switched-to-iphone-for-cost-reasons-i-can-help-you-switch-too/ https://announce.asheesh.org/2022/09/i-switched-to-iphone-fo...
I'm really embarrased by this (I've been a borderline Apple hater basically my whole life) but also acknowledge reality.
- logifail 4y ago> a used one is cheaper, and factoring in support duration, may be cheaper yet Q: For all those hundreds of millions of people who have paid less than $150 for their phone, how many of them even gave a second thought to the support duration when they decided what to purchase?
- mlinksva 4y agoI'd guess approximately the same number as those who have given a second thought to repairability, i.e., negligible. I'm all for increasing demand for both at the margins, including as part of savvier consumers' financial calculus.
