Yes... have you not seen the ifone??? It is so similar in shape, performance, lack of expansion from generation 1 to generation 10... sure the screen is better..but the better camera comes at a huge cost...more data per image, and the same lack of RAM/storage......
Why is this??? Why not sell the 8 for $2000??? Have it with 16GB RAM, 256GB RAM, and some sort of new storage option, a new form of SD CARD???? The reason the ifone is so cheap is that it has zero spent on development...nothing, it is a $2 rehash of the iPhone 1!!
