In summary,
1. It doesn’t have 120hz screen which $300 Androids have
2. It doesn’t have mag-safe
3. It doesn’t have Wifi 6e/7
4. It doesn’t have more than 1 camera
5. It doesn’t have dynamic island
6. It doesn’t have mmWave
7. It doesn’t have same SOC cores as iPhone 16
8. It doesn’t have time-tested Cellular from Qualcomm
So what the F does this trash tier device have to justify $600+ price?
Not all users care about these features—I’m one of them. Let’s break it down:
1. Don’t care.
2. Don’t care.
3. No idea what that is, don’t care. As long as the Wi-Fi works, great.
4. This is a big plus for me—I don’t like multiple cameras or bulky camera bumps.
5. Couldn’t care less about the notch or pill.
6. No idea what that is, don’t need it, don’t even know what it does.
7. Don’t care. Is it as fast as an iPhone 15? Perfect.
8. This might be the only thing I’d question, but as long as it works, that’s fine.
My point is, some of us just want an iPhone—something that runs iOS smoothly, lets me use iMessage, browse the web, check my email, and snap a photo of a receipt. If we can get one for less, even better!
Sure, it would be nice to get it even cheaper. But it’s already progress that I can get a good iPhone with a big screen for $200 less, without having to pay iPhone 16 prices for features I don’t need.
Plus, comparing an iPhone to an Android is completely pointless for me. I wouldn’t switch to Android even if I got a flagship phone for free.
