It's not just a phone
It's a statement that highlights your position in the social hierarchy, it's like owning a tag heuer
You could always buy a 20$ casio and it'll show you the same time, but a tag heuer gives you that edge above the rest of the people.
It's a symbol of prosperity
(provided you don't go out of your way and dry up all your finances to buy it, cause that's just retarded)

>How to Apple:

- cult forming marketing
- stealing ideas
- or presenting old ideas as new
- trend forming and social pressure (gap between poor - rich)

Pretty much every other smartphone already has fullsize display front. The gayness of Animojis sounds a lot like it's going to fail or backfire.

>>745041834
Same reason people pay $50,000 for a car. $2000 for a TV. etc.

People calculate how much they are willing to spend on something. Some are happy to pay more if they feel it is worth it.

Many people use their phones more than any other piece of technology they own so spending $1000 on it isn't a huge deal.

If you don't want to spend $1000 on a phone because you dont feel it is worth it then fine. Personally I wouldn't spend that much on a phone as I dont use it enough to justify spending that much on one but I dont have a problem if other people do.

They lose value very quick. Only a handful of cars become truly sought after and increase in value. Luxury cars, especially German ones, take huge depreciation hits. They are notoriously expensive for basic maintenance, and aren't known for reliability.

Yeah I have. U have an s7 edge and it costs almost 900 something dollars. I just bought my wife s8 plus 128gb and that too is about 1100 dollars here.

Before my purchase of the s7 I was dead set against spending so much on a fucking phone. But after the impulse buy that I made I am a convert. These flagship phones are beyond awesome. 4k amoled display? It's the best thing to happen to a phone. I even plan on buying the note 8, bow that it's on pre-order where I live.

On the same note I wouldnt spend 5 bucks on a ifapple product. They are absolute shit.

I'm happy buying flagship phones but after owning the S5 and things like no expansion on the S6 steered me away from Samsung, got a Huawei Mate 9 now, no regerts so far, battery life is spectacular and it was quicker than any of it's competition when I bought it.
>>
>>745041834
Right off the bat: I'm an avid iPhone user. I had the 4, 4s, 5s, 6+, and now the 7.

I buy all my phones outright, off contract, straight cash. Typically I sell the old one and use the money towards a new one. Usually, I end up spending 200-300 out of pocket for the new model each year. Not a bad deal.

I also want to state that I am financially secure and I could spend $1k on a phone without it hurting me at all.

The ONLY phone worth upgrading to from the 7 IMO is the X, but 1k for a phone just seems insane. Even if you have money that doesn't make it a good financial decision.

I'm seriously considering skipping this one. Even though I could sell my 7 and spend an extra $500~ to get the X... I'm having a hard time getting over the sticker price of $1150 (256 model, 64 too small) for a fucking PHONE.

I looked into switching to Samsung because the Note and S8 are both really nice phones, but the Note is also almost $1k which seems nuts.

Almost seems better to have a cheaper phone to use as a phone, and buy a tablet to use for media consumption.
>>
>>745041834
Honestly I don't mind paying that much for a phone the only problem is that those iPhones are complete shit everybody I know that owns any of them they end up breaking within 6 months they have horrible issues with battery life and the product in general just stopped working altogether I really think a phone should have a life of at least 2 years I'm realy sick of this new phone puch junk. Every 6 months especially since the model one down does not really decrease in value much at all

The point is how will poor people still manage to afford it? I mean, 600 or even 700, 400 after a few months is stupid but doable, I would not buy it but everyone can afford it. But 1000 plus taxes it is so fucking out of range even niggers and dumb blondes will think of it carefully.

It's been a few years since almost every iPhone I see around is not paid but with an operator plan, even at 700€ no one wants to buy it, Samsung and huawei are going great tho, even iPhone 5S and 5C are selling better than the new ones

Note 8 is an awesome phone. 1k does seem excessive the only reason i am upgrading from my s7e is because spen. I have been a wacom tablet user for almost a decade. Until now the hardware was barely able to keep up but now with almost 328 gb on the phone 6 gb ram (not to mention the cpu) its finally a ripe time to make the purchase.

Oh and btw It's an insult to compare an iPhone with any phone that's over the 200$ mark.

Not even close. Never owned apple products specifically because they're overpriced and less open and adjustable than counterparts

Those are some fantastic tits. The Note 8 IS an awesome phone, but I disagree with your iPhone assessment. I've had and used many Galaxy, blackberry, iPhone, and other smaller brand names.

It's personal preference, iPhone + Samsung are best IMO. I like iPhone a little better because I find the camera functions faster and all around easier to use as a phone, but the Samsung phones can undoubtedly do more.

This is the truth. I've has the largest screens available every generation and I would still rather have at least a tablet for anything more than basic surfing and short emails.

Flagships are worth it, though. They really do put in extras that make a difference. I might start doing what I used to do with computers and always buy one generation behind, so that most of the depreciation is over but the upmarket build is still there.

You're not wrong but every company does this. It's called marketing.

Apple has been around a bit longer and is a bit better at it but fundamentally they still provide goods to consumers who want it and provide a service, regardless of how much markup they make on it.

Getting butthurt about that isn't consumer sensibility or rationality, it's getting butthurt because of insecurity.

Honestly do people even use phones anymore as just a phone? It has become a PC that rests in your pocket.

Apple always goes for aesthetics and user experience. People love brands, always have and always will.

1000$ on a daily driver is a waste to some and a good investment to others.

Kek and what the fuck are you doing?

Apple is good at marketing, alright, good at fucking their consumers, planned obsoletion, controlled upgrades for old features, defects to insure an iPhone eventually breaks. This is all genius on apples part, but not if you don't like getting fucked in the ass for a product that is already exorbiantly priced

That fact you think I'm projecting shows your own insecurities. You hold this iPhone so dearly anyone who calls it on it's shit must be poor, because you have to constantly remind yourself you're wealthy because you're a shitbag. Neck yourself

You'd eat the shit out of Tim Cooks asshole, if he said it was the next best thing from Apple.

When the iPhone was introduced, all it did was improve on the phone capability. Literally every feature of the iPhone has been around for years already with Palm and other handheld producers. Losers like you>>745045585 just can't do the math. Apple's main schtick is dumbing down and restricting products on the developer end and selling old ideas for some 300% the price.

Palm and Sony handhelds featured reliable, free (!) apps right from the box and you could download and install any app you wanted. Apple's only contribution to this was "Hey, let's have them pay for every little thing!"

You are cucks to this company and you refuse to admit it, you embrace it.

It varies I guess depending on your use. Personally I do use my phone a LOT every day. But my uses are pretty basic.

>Email, both business and personal
>Watch Netflix/videos
>Take basic photos while I'm out and about
>Surf web/lookup stuff
>Read manga
>Play a couple basic games to pass time
>Phone calls

That's basically it. Most of those tasks could be done, or even done better on an iPad compared to the smaller screen on my phone. So if you're gonna drop 1k, is the iPhone X better than an iPad Pro with 13" screen?

I'm just not sure.

cont.
another great idea from Apple is selling disadvantages as advantages. The praised "unibody" of the Macbook and iPhone series doesn't allow you to fix anything on your own. No exchanging batteries, no expanding to the HD with micro memory sticks, you can't even clean the fucking thing inside when you get it wet.
Apple Services is right there on the second spot of Apples biggest source of income. Apple sercurity plans and prolonged warranties are a major source of income, because they are experts at planned obscolescence, things breaking right after the factory warrant ends.

you've so gotten used to the impossibility of fixing anything about an Apple product, that you just take it as it is. In 2004, you could get any handheld or phone fixed in any computer store in no time and you could check the market to get a good price.
Fixing your Apple product somewhere else, breaks the warranty. Having it fixed at Apple costs a shitload of money and you'd better buy a new one instead.
Earlier, you were at least able to expand your Macbook with additional RAM or put in a different HDD. The iPads and Macbook Air dont allow that anymore. Again, here you have it, reeling back and selling disadvantages to a crowd of users who begin to know less and less what hardware and software is. "It just works!" - and when it doesn't work, your average little Teenie or middle class family man has both no clue and no way of fixing it themselves.

$250 for a watch? Please. That's actually reasonable. Nice watches are north of that to begin with.

Where Apple gets crazy is that if you look objectively at their watches the only models I'd have any interest in are upwards of $1100 and as soon as I saw the price I laughed my ass off. No way I'd pay anywhere near that for their wrist gadget.

But someone will.

capability of fixing problems yourself without having to got to Apple Service for every goddamn problem, being bound to the product range of Apple for cross-device data handling, planned obscolescence by forcing updates to "old" devices that will stop working and overload, stopping security updates after just a few years, making the usage of a device dangerous to your data, forcing users to buy new accessoires, because old one's are removed and made obsolete (Lightning port, regular headphone cables etc)

That is exactly what they are promoting: General laziness and disinterest with understanding the background of a GUI and hardware. Your average iPhone user has no idea all this A11 chip shit means and they don't care, they wouldn't even want to know the basics. But this is where Apple expands their power: reducing and restricting general knowledge of the functionality of the product. Remember how you could literally upgrade every computer in the past? You just bought a new GF card and installed it yourself, easy. Apple is locking you out of this and the same thing goes with software. They lock you out gradually until you can't improve anything about their devices anymore, unless you just buy a new and better one. Projects like the Fair Phone are the total opposite of that. But Apple is profit and power driven and some of the solutions they have come up with are evil. There is a lot of cold calculation in their promise "It just works".

The 8plus is this year's actual release. The X/10 is the concept phone which will come either next year or the year after. I say concept because it's what Apple wants to do now but can't due to constraints. If it wasn't the anniversary, the X/10 would not have been announced, it would have been saved for next year. It's basically a "soft" launch. PS if you get the Apple upgrade program, you can get the new X/10 when it's ready.

PS $1,000 is the new pricing point for smartphones. No one cares that you can't afford it because all phone companies know you'll either finance it or get it on contract. I'm in the tech industry so I know this from insider sources. They could charge $2k for a base model and you'd still adapt to it. Also, always buy the phone outright then get an unlimited, payG sim. I pay £28/month for uncapped, unmetered true unlimited data with hotspot and roaming in 60 countries and also if you use things like Netflix in SD it doesn't count toward your data (not that it matters because its TRUE unlimited)
