I mean, give me a phone with a full-blown desktop CPU and OS, and I'd gladly pay that kind of price. But for an Android or iOS device, no way, not even for 1TB of storage and a 4K screen (because that's just fucking overkill anyway).

what are you basing that assessment off of? i'm sure some day the tech will be worth the money of $1500, are you just saying that day hasn't come yet?
or are you just hard programmed to think that a phone shouldn't be worth $1500 based off preconceived notions? i hear this from people all the time that cant quantify why they feel that way --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Some of those criteria are a bit fluffy I mean Good screen to body ratio? What does that mean exactly? He's a joke poster frankly. He's getting awfully close to "ignore" status. Galaxy S8 generation, for example, has a higher screen-to-body ratio than the X. That just means you can fit more screen into the body with minimal bezels around the device. Also, S8 generation has faster wired AND wireless charging standards (fast charger included in box too!), higher resolution OLED display, and can also be used by one hand. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius ...

Super Saiyan 3 Goku posted...Crepes posted...Some of those criteria are a bit fluffy I mean Good screen to body ratio? What does that mean exactly? Jokes on him, I've ignored him after he tried to headpat me with "good for you" after presenting him with factual evidence. Sure, let's ignore the fact that all the Galaxy phones have bezel chins on the top and bottom. Or how the Galaxy S8 supports 7.5 watt fast wireless charging......the same type that the iPhone 8/X support. How many years did it take for Samsung to even get to that level again compared to Apple? Or how the iPhone X can rapid charge from 0-80% (the amount before trickle charging starts to kick in) faster than the S8. Lmao, still bringing up screen resolution, huh? https://www.theverge.com/2016/9/12/12886058/iphone-7-specs-competition "Retina display" isn't just a marketing gimmick, it also refers to the screen being so pixel dense at a certain distance that it becomes indistinguishable to the human eye. Idk if Android users like to eyeball their phones but that must be the case since they won't stop talking about "mah PPI" That "higher resolution OLED display" you mentioned still wasn't considered the best of the best last year either. The X was. Ironically it was also produced by Samsung. http://www.displaymate.com/iPhoneX_ShootOut_1a.htm The iPhone X is the most innovative and high performance Smartphone display that we have ever tested. First we need to congratulate Samsung Display for developing and manufacturing the outstanding OLED display hardware in the iPhone X. But what makes the iPhone X the Best Smartphone Display is the impressive Precision Display Calibration that Apple developed that transforms the OLED hardware into a superbly accurate, high performance, and gorgeous display!! Let's just ignore the True Tone, HDR support, P3 wide color gamut, and 1400 contrast ratio, because it doesn't support the agenda. Remember when everyone thought more megapixels= better camera? This is exactly that lol In the end, the only legitimate complaint is that Samsung includes some of these things for free in the box, but aside from a Lightning to USB-C cable, I haven't had to buy any new accessories to take advantage of the same features on the X because of the Apple ecosystem (new MacBook chargers are fast-charge supported for iPhone X, iPad charger for everything else) Go back to the Android boards SS3G because this isn't the hill you want to die on --- Sometimes I say things and I'm not voice acting. ...
