$800 sounds like a lot, but is very reasonable for a device someone might use 3+ hours a day for 2 years. At the end of those years, it can likely be sold for at least $400. That works out to something like $0.36/hour.
- raincole 1y agoIt's an extremely weird way to look at price. My family use the same dining table for more than two decades. So it's about 5,000 ~ 10,000 hours. But it doesn't make it somehow worth a few thousands of bucks.

- lostmsu 1y agoThe difference to the few gen back flagships is not as significant as between the tiers in the same gen.
- lotsofpulp 1y agoThe price comparison should be to other phones (presumption is you are definitely buying one). Then, the question is if phone A costs $0.25 per hour, and phone B costs $0.36 per hour, are you willing to spend an extra $0.11 per hour. The same applies to the dining table, but obviously the comparison is to other dining tables.
