So do most people who bitch about this just have their parents pay for their phones?

As phones integrate more and more into our lives, the price becomes easier to justify.

Those people who pay that much are paying for the apple logo. Maybe like 500. But the real difference between the flagships and mid-priced phones are that most mid priced ones, that I've noticed, have worse cameras. iPhone and galaxies have really good camera these days and that's lacking in cheaper phones. So for me, I'm fine with mid priced ones. I know for many others, that can be a deal breaker --- Posted with GameRaven 3.5.1 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Just bought my girl the Note 9 for $750. Should last her for a few years, no regrets. I bought a Note 8 as a part of that special deal they had for former Note 7 owners (preorder the Note 8 for 50% off) and they sent it to me like 3 weeks before launch. The craziest thing is that they also sent me a 256 GB micro SD card when it was advertised to come with a 64 GB card. They also sent me a wireless charger. --- Physician [Internal Medicine] ...

Got my 6s plus 128 gb nearly 3 years ago and its still running in great condition!
As others have stated, the price tag can be justified given how much mobile phones have evolved and have become essential to the modern world ( standard phone use, gps, camera, games, media player, media content editing and creation, calculator, tools, dictionary, etc) I normally dont get a new smartphone until Ive had it for 3-4 years, so its a great value for me. --- Trololol ...

The only phone that actually sells above $1k is the iPhone X
Even the Note 9 at full MSRP (which literally zero people would actually pay) is $995. If you wait like two months you could probably get it for $600-$700. --- Physician [Internal Medicine] ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sounds like a good deal for 50% off and all those extras. I currently have an S7 Edge so this is gonna be our first experience with a Note, but it looks sweet and she's excited for it, so I don't think it'll disappoint. If anyone wants it unlocked and wants to pay full price (I would have bought it on Amazon but you couldn't trade in your old phone that way) you also get a free wireless charger and some kind of docking thing.
