iPhone sales beg to differ.

"As of early 2026, iPhone Pro and Pro Max models dominate Apple's sales, accounting for over 50% of new iPhone series purchases. With total annual iPhone shipments often exceeding 230 million units, this indicates well over 100 million Pro models are sold annually".

It's just a matter of priorities (and lack of cheaper alternatives of other platforms with similar performance).

People are willing to pay more for a phone than a console, or a car than a phone, or a house than a car!

People aren't a hivemind who all think the same.

Entry class smartphones are so good/performant these days for the usual tasks, I don't understand why so many people pay double/triple/4x/5x for a slightly better model.

On home consoles and handhelds I see the value of a new model which is multiple times as fast as the old model and supports the newest games.
