I paid that much for my iPhone 7+ last year, so yes.

iPhone X (512gb) is definitely going to be around $1200, which isn't that much of an increase.

I just can't stand iOS. It's way too limited and I enjoy being able to torrent stuff. I download a bunch of stuff to watch on my phone when I won't have access to wifi/4g and need something to fill the time.

I dunno if its because of currency inflation, or what not, but the amount ive payed (still paying, 2 year plan) for my s7 edge IS just around 1000 dollars as of today.

That can easily change tomorrow.

Your smart phones is most likely your most used device every single day. Something that is used that frequent like a House, car, mattress, etc.. it's worth it to spend the extra money on quality as long as you can afford it.

Not a debate on android vs. iPhone, but the more society relies on smart phones, the more these phone companies can justify $1,000+ price tags for quality devices.

Exactly. There's always a cheaper alternative but some things are worth paying a slight premium for.

Tough to say. That's a lot of coin for a phone.

Of course, I can sell/trade my current 6 Plus to soften the blow somewhat.

You don't care what it can do? What if it can run Android OS? :O

What I mostly care about is if I can call, text, and surf the internet properly and quickly, and take decent pictures, and run the few apps that I really care to use well. Those are really the only functions that I truly care about. I don't need to buy the latest and fanciest phone to do that.

The iPhone SE that I have does all of that perfectly, so there is no need to upgrade until it starts to fail on me. I had my iPhone 4 for four years and will probably have the SE for a similar amount of time, if not longer.

And that's completely fair. However, the people who are going "oh who needs the flagship" act like that's all it needs to do.

Honestly, all smartphones hit the "good enough" scale a few years ago. But if all it ever was stuck at just "good enough", there would never be room for improvement. That's why I'm glad that flagships exist to push new ideas and features that wouldn't be prominent on a "good enough" phone for years to come.
