People with common sense will avoid this. By not buying, Apple will listen and find ways to cut costs - if Samsung can, why can’t they? Just doesn’t make sense.
Yet some buy for some kind of status in society same as 15mins of fame and then forgotten...please don’t complain if Apple starts charging £2k for a phone. iPhone X is a social (Facebook, WhatsApp etc) device vs a Tablet (semi-laptop for productivity, art, movies etc)
iPad Pro costs less and yet its powerful- oh and its 12.9” again doesn’t make sense why the phone costs so much.
Apple are becoming a repellent and are doing a good job.
"Some buy for some kind of status" .... oh the irony.
Does it feel great, does it make you feel superior by belittling people who buy an iPhone X? Because in your opinion they lack common sense and are hence stupid.
Apple was NEVER cheap. I remember times where normal Macbooks would be way past 2k for the entry models.
And yet, at the same time the same people who complain about Apple's pricetag complain about conditions in factories. Hypocrisy much?
I for one am willing to pay more for quality. I for one am willing to pay more so people - including the folks at Apple - can have a living wage. You do know they're not working for free, yup? (and yes, no need to point it out, I'm well aware that Apple isn't great in terms of their factories/cheap labor).
Being stingy is not cool.
And besides, maybe people should stop wanting everything there and now. Get a feel for value. Have to save. Keep things for any number of time (why do you NEED to update every year?)
At the end of the day, it's every persons very personal business how they spend their money. Don't want to spend that much? Great, go spend it on something else. Want it but can't afford it? Stop being envoys and sour and start saving.
