AnonD-771260, 23 Sep 2018There are cars which cost more than house. Why nobody compa... moreA car can give you endless memories on a track, in the city, off road and with certain cars in the water. If you're saying a phone worth 1500Eur is going to give you the same amount of joy a car for the same sum of money can then you either don't have a drivers license or you're so out of reach what android phones could do for the past 5 years. Really, less than 1% can actually fully utilise their iphones, the rest are thinking they're utilising it. I bet if you put an ios launcher on an android and the device would be the same physical appearance as an iphone 95% of iphone owners wouldn't know the difference.

Sure, an used car is a bad option but why to pay $1500 in a phone when you can buy another one that's not so terribly overpriced (S9+? G7? P20 Pro? OP6? Mix 2S?) and have extra cash to spare in something else (a laptop? clothes? vacation? food? quality headphones?) that would be hugely more useful in the long run imo

I see what you guys are doing, so much traffic for your earlier Apple topics so let's milk the cow even more and trigger those obsessed Android people even more because let's face it, works everytime!
Well done Gsmarena!
And about topic, i would buy normal XS and a new car, would never buy used car.

"but let’s face it - the $1,099 base price includes convenience, premium quality, sexy looks, and, for some, it is a social status symbol as well."
I'll make sure to remember your name in order to avoid reading your articles. The most childish argument I have ever read on a this website...

"In my closing statement I want to be clear - if we, as a community, think iPhone XS Max is overly expensive, we deserve to be treated with bloatware smartphones with dozens of useless apps, wrapped in a cheap plastic body. Yes, not everyone can afford the iPhone XS Max, but everyone can afford to dream of better tomorrow."
Sorry Yordan that is most foolish and idiotic idea that i have happen read on GSM!
I'll go for mini cause that is what can take me every where that i want to!
and "I don’t agree the iPhone XS Max is too expensive" that is also idiotic!
The iPhone XS Max is hugely and in very bad way expensive!
"out-of-this-world device"
Guess you live in other world...........
From earth to Yordan please do not say STH that embarrasses GSMA!

There are cars which cost more than house. Why nobody comparing? It is kind of useless compare different things. Especially things what we buy only because we like them.

"But thats a poor investment and we both know it. Certainly so in comparison with an out-of-this-world device that truly makes our everyday lives better."
1. The car is not a poor investment.
2. The iPhone XS Max is not a "out-of-this-world device" by any means, nor does it make anyone's life better.

I would rather choose a used car over an expensive iPhone because a car can transport me anywhere I may go and I could purchase a decent less expensive phone for basic features --- calling, texting, and some other stuff.
Owning an overpriced phone doesn't mean that you belong to the elite, most of the time you would be considered a luxurious person.
Having one seems very irrelevant for a sane person who only uses a phone for basic features.

A used car vs a fragile premium calling device. That's a no brainer. Seriously what's the point of going broke over a cellular phone while any cheaper other one does the job. Are you a crazy Apple fanboy? Get last year's model! No one cares which phone you have. Last year's model is just as good. Two years ago's model too. Can't understand why people go for that expensive devices, no matter the brand.
