| tripenfall said: So just to be clear, 77% of people think that 350 quid is too much.... For a console that usually has a life span of 5-6 years..... Yet the new iPhone 7 has a RRP in the UK of between 599 quid and 919 quid depending on what model you buy.... And you'll want a new one in a years time.... And people are lining up and down the street to get one...... And everyone will complain the NX isn't powerful enough but still want it for under 350 quid.... You all have champagne tastes on a beer budget..... |
I think the iPhone is a spectacular waste of money. I had one for free from work, a 5S, and my new $59 R1HD is hands-down superior for my uses. I also feel the Galaxy S flagships are way too damned expensive to make sense as well. I liked my S3, S4, and S5s hardware wise, but it's past the time when the competition has provided better value for money, and Samsung's extra nonsense on top of Android is a mess (even worse if you have a carrier device piling on more spamware to boot).
Now if phones are your thing, or you MUST have some widget or whatever, fine. Personally I'm done blowing tons of money on something when this device is already so fast.
iPhones also cost around $300 to make, so there's that as well, they jack up the price like maniacs because they can, and they have enough brand-loyal freaks to get away with it.
So don't put me in that bucket, not everyone is on the 'burn money' phone treadmill. Screw that noise.
