The only reason why I want to upgrade my S7 is because I cracked the screen and the process of setting up a phone is not worth going through for a refurbished one through insurance.

More than 2 years later its still working surprisingly well. Doing the same thing on it that I would on an S9. Stop being sheep to brands and trends.

I think it's the customers who are normalizing these prices. Apple's competitors would be stupid to stay at low prices, if customers are willing to spend whatever is being asked. They are, but Apple are leveraging their brand power here. You don't simply buy an cellphone that happens to be made by Apple - you are getting an iPhone, there's just no other choice. That's the mindset of their customer base. It's like a lifestyle decision. This is why I so enjoy the recent spicy Samsung ads that make fun of this whole nonsense. But now Samsung products are reaching astronomical prices and I'm sitting here hoping another competitor product comes along on the same standard. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:909530387] in Why does T...
