Charts show the evolution of iPhone prices over the years and how well older phones held their value

23 September 2021
There has been a Cambrian explosion of price points in the last few years.

sad that flagship androids are as bad and now with an underwhelming SD888. despite the large volumes sales of smartphones, price creep on flagships. fortunately, the mid range or $400 and below androids are great and will satisfy many people

    That's what I was thinking. I caught some flack earlier for recommending Anandtech, and it turns out the people who hated it were simply fanboys of a particular company. People have to stop shilling for these mainstream "reviewers" like MKBHD or Mrwhostheboss. They're pretty amateur when it comes to tech, and not good to listen to. The others I have listed are much more in-depth, professional, and unbiased.

      Kangal, 24 Sep 2021Can you give me a link to TechNick ? I have not heard that... moreTech Nick is pretty reliabe. The ones who call it a scam are the people whose favorite devices have been exposed to be a scam on that channel.

                Ever wonder why phone prices climb almost exponentially?

                To me it seems like Bullcrap, but its also partly cuz cricket doesn't sell any flagships other than Iphone now, S20 Ultra 5g was the only S20 flagship offered at cricket. Its just my bias, but we finally got the XR,11, and 12 series to go down by 100, and the SE is a good deal right now at 250.


                this is coming from a $12 Android user, I like my android, its just not worth it anymore, apple copies others after improving on it first, plus their phones hold their values better.

                  Held value .
                  Funny this company have no value.
                  Every android device if taken care properly can last at least that long as Apple.
                  And with a propper value.

                    [deleted post]The only sodium that is left is in the mouths of iPhone users in the real world.
                    A few weeks back my boss who owns an iPhone 12 pro Max got embarrassed when one of the clerical staff's budget Realme phone got fully charged in half and hour while his phone was stuck besides that phone at 33%.
                    He probably bought it for the logo like most people only to realize that Apple dumped slow charging on a premium device. Next week he switched to Mi 11 Ultra to avoid further embarrassments.

                        "Held their value"

                        Only applicable to logo freaks, us normal people see through the logo and its marketing.

                          I don't think "convoluted" means what you think it means. You could say this about what Samsung is doing with their S, A, M, F lines is convoluted no doubt, but nobody should feel this way about the very few models that apple has to offer.

                            I have not heard that he was proven to be a scam. I am interested in this.

                            You should stay away from MKBHD and MrWhosTheBoss, they're not good. Even LinusTechTips is better than them. Instead look at the likes of JuanBagnell and Dave2D instead.

                              -Trix-, 23 Sep 2021Useless? There's already close to 50 comment. Hardly A... more3/4 of comments in Apple related articles are sodium infused screams of haters and the remaining 1/4 is of Apple enjoyers who just use it for what it is. No one forces anyone to buy Apple, so whining about it is so hilarious and pointless. Great, you don't like Apple, then don't buy it. It's literally that simple, especially since those people were never ever even in a market for an iPhone and never will be no matter the changes (unless iPhone turns into yet another Android clone). My whining over things Android phone makers do however is legit because I am in a market of buying an Android phone if it'll meet my demands. Most don't, but some do.

                                        Lmao. "Creates trends arather than follows them" with iPhone 11 they went back in time and got the 4/5 design. You call that innovative? I call that anti innovation. 😂😂 This guy's a comedian.
