I'm pretty certain they're not supposed to be upgraded. Where did you get that idea from? You can choose to upgrade, that's your choice.
On a more general note, things get more expensive. It's called inflation

But it is good. It's just different to IOS
What's on android now is great. Not sure why people talk bad about something just because it doesn't have an Apple logo
I suppose that's the price you have to pay to not sit in the cheap seats with the plebs on Android with their headphone jacks.
This is the issue I would need 256GB so my plan of buying my phones will make me rethink if I have to pay £1,000. As means would have to sell my 7 plus for at £550. Would still be extra to pay
Either that or just go on contract which would be a bomb
Well in fairness my comment wasn't really directed at you but in people in general
Not sure why we all can't enjoy all tech
While I do agree that Apple are a company and making money is part of that I disagree that all they are about is profit. Take yesterday for example the press event they held to talk about the Mac Pro and the iMac wasn't done for profits, the profit they make on Mac Pro isn't any where near a major profit, they apologised for the amount of time it is taking and are working on new Mac Pros. If all they wanted was profit then they wouldn't of bothered and they would just leave the Mac Pro to die.
Don't blame Apple for this, it's the consumer who's willing to pay this much for it.
So who is the idiot?

And I'm getting hungry..... lolRemember when the iPad was supposed to be $1,000 ?
Pepperidge Farm remembers...
The price of 2 mac minis... I thought technology is supposed to get cheaper not more expensive
I'm confused about people's positive reaction to yesterday's Mac Pro news. Wasn't that little five-person press conference exactly the same as Tim Cook saying "don't worry we've got great products in the pipeline"?
No because they have actually given more details, iMac's this year and they are working on new design for the Mac Pro, my point is that yea they have made mistakes but are working on fixing it, plus i don't think Apple would come out and say all of this if it wasn't true.
Tim in a subtile way, got corrected by Phil:
the Pipeline (connoted to have a specific end) now has been substituted by "Horizon" (always looming...) with the advantage that the Board never commits itself and customers always have "some" perspective, that in order to remain so, shouldn't happen...
So congrats with a dead sparrow (designed in California)

The Mac Pro is used by developers for creating iOS apps. If iPhone and iPad users want to continue benefiting from great apps, the developers need good Macs to create them. The Mac Pro is an investment of sorts. Spend money on the Mac Pro to earn more money from iPhones and iPads.
One of the reasons why I left iOS. The price is going up and up for years and it makes 0 sense cuz many parts went down with price but Apple rip us off like s*.
Meanwhile I can't see so many difference in hardware between 300 dollar and 1.000 dollar device especially cuz so many companies produce pretty much the same shape of a phone and also there is not so much innovation anymore.
I hope Google will bring this year a little bit cheaper phone and we can enjoy the pure power of android.

About the crazy timing:
Probably developers readying themselves for WWDC and asking for Swift for Windows forced some of the elderly into thinking mode again...

I skipped last years iphone 7 (first iphone i skipped since the original iphone 1). I will most likely upgrade from 6s+ to the ips 7s+/ip8 as i know it will be a major leap in tech and spec.
Yes but the assumption that Apple are all about profit now is over the top, they came out yesterday and commented on it they have said that new iMac's will be out later this year and they are working on new Mac Pro's, to me that's a positive they have acknowledged the issue and putting it right, i think we need to at least give them the benefit of the doubt on it.
Time will tell.
