Well for the price of a 512gb iPhone XS Max in my country, i can buy a brand new 200cc bike from Yamaha or KTM or 350cc Royal Enfield. Heck, i can buy a brand new 150cc bike from Yamaha or Honda for the price of base XS! If this goes on like this, it will be better to bid goodbye to Apple. This year they priced their phones at par with the said bikes and next year, who knows they may charge you the price of a car! For what? Did they completely overhaul their phone? For the sake of 10-15% improvements they are charging a bomb! People(iSheep) forgot that competition has caught up with Apple long back, with only OS and updates to boast of..Even i dont care about OS updates as long as it just works. For all those people who think like those who buy Androids are poor, i dont think they are poor, instead they are much more wiser and can choose whatever phone suits their needs. They dont let brands decide what you need, they themselves decide what they want.

Gsmarena please do not compare a proper car or any other proper technology with Apple Jewellery. Jewelries are meant for show off,and it will be priced so.

Better yet, buy a brand new motorcycle (200+ cc), ride responsibly and have lot more fun. Period.

In my honest opinion it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to buy an iPhone. There was a time when I bought an iPhone 7 and I couldn't send my media folders from my PC to the phone (the files were copied, the folders weren't, so the files end up utterly disorganized and impossible to find). Also, the bluetooth couldn't be used to transfer media files, the phone didn't read memory pendrives, I couldn't use a memory card to save important files, there were lots of Android apps which it was impossible to find an equivalent for in the Apple Store (try to find a games console emulator - impossible), so finally I could just use the phone for calling and sending text messages, as though it was a mobile phone from the 1990s.
If that wasn't enough, wifi started to fail in my phone, although being 3 metres away from the router, I had to make a backup and reinstall the operating system, then the backup restoration failed, the backup was impossible to manage from the computer, the files couldn't be opened there, so I lost everything.
So, think twice before wasting a great sum of money in an iPhone.

[deleted post]lol. These Apple fans just don't have eyes yet. I know they know the truth, they won't admit it neither will they buy the phone. Most of them are probably using a Samsung or Xiaomi. :D

Sorry to tell you but as long as Apple keep making great products which makes people very happy that won't happen. Something really big has to happen before Apple go down.

A used car obviously over a piece of "style over substance that lacks critical features".
BTW, this does not seem like Mr. Y's real opinion.

This post isn't a comparison, it's more of an advert for Apple. I just wonder why Apple gadgets are overpriced. Samsung virtually produces the best devices as far as I'm concerned. Let's be rational here, Apple doesn't pay for OS which is it's selling point, they've probably made good deals and sought after the most affordable parts suppliers. Why then should greed be the first thing on their mind?. I really hope they go down the drain soon,

starison, 24 Sep 2018Phone market seems to surprise me. By this time phones shou... more" Are the photos taken from a flagship phone so much better than photos taken from a mid range phone that one should pay $1,000 for it"
That's like saying is $1000 guitar so much better than $300 guitar. For them who cares it is, and for them who just want guitar to play with i wouldn't buy $1000 guitar.
If you care about photography it definitely is.

Sheeps are the problem which they always consider buying a phone instead of practical products.

I do agree with some of you that comparing smartphone with car is not sensible in anyway. But I also agreed with many of you that it's not sensible to spent USD 1500+ for any smartphone, not even 1000.
But no matter how much we debet for acceptable price of smartphone, those sheeps will going to buy iphone every year. Actually Apple is having a very good strategy and marketing skills (of course more money) than any other competitors, and that we have to admit. Because making same fool to same bunch of sheeps in a mass and even for many years required great skill.
Don't you agreed? :)
