Who cares? No-ones gonna buy it for that....everyone is gonna get it on a contract for £200 like everyone has always done for iPhones...(me included)

You say you only pay £200 for iPhone? wrong! that's just at first, you will likely pay £35 to £40 a month for 2 years on top of that, which means you are paying over £1000 for it really! Just not in one go, £529 for it seems cheap compared to it. Phones are to expensive in general don't ya think? All top phones (iPhone included) are like this!

Pretty much lol, although I paid £199 for my Xperia PLAY that comes with 8GB internal memory and a 16GB memory card (It came with one), I mean sure it's a little dated technically compared to the iPhone 5, but it does all the same shit, and has a gamepad too, which makes it better for someone like me.

I just don't see why people adore Apple and their overpriced products, it's fucking ridiculous...

yeah it's not like we need phones like iPhone that cost £40 or so a month, when we can get decent phones now like sony xperia s or samsung galaxy s II for £25 (much cheaper!) iPhones are good but i agree they are too expensive 



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

Personally I think it's ridiculous. Apple releases a new product every year, with minimal change or upgrades, and adds another £100 to the price.
I quote Samsung - "Apple says our products are just as good as Apple. Except cheaper, faster and with a bigger screen"



So hyped for Rome 2: Total War

Sorry, can't embed, but this sums up my feelings about the isheep. (Not people who buy iphones in general, but those who would buy any apple product just because of the brand).
