        Meme should be targeting apple, not it's users. I get why people like there stuff, but spec wise, they overcharge for the cheapest upgrades and at the same time, pat themselves on the back like they do gods work or something.

              If Apple is shit for setting those prices, then so are their customers for paying them those prices.

                  The most innovative thing the iPhone has added in years is the LiDAR and like <1% of the users actually use that beyond Face ID.

                    Apple devices mostly aren‘t significantly more expensive than their counterparts by other manufacturers.

                    However, most of those offer cheaper alternatives that Apple doesn’t. While the most expensive Samsung S25 is more expensive than the equivalent iPhone, Samsung also sells models under 100€. That does skew the perception towards Samsung being more affordable.

                    Which it is, of course, if you don’t care about the extra amenities of more expensive phones.

                          This logic is outdated. The top of the line iPhones are no more (and sometimes a bit less) than comparable Android flagships.

                          Their base models come in around high-midrange Android, true. But some of the specs (CPU/camera) still beat out Android phones at their price range. Heck on CPU they often beat more expensive Android phones.

                          I'm not saying that because I'm a fan of Apple it's just like, it's not just them. I've had something like 9 Android phones and 6 iPhones. Really in the end they aren't that different day-to-day.

                            So we’re upset with Apple because they don’t make low budget options?

                            Please send a link to a new Samsung under 100€/$.

                              Samsung is in a contest with apple to see who can suck the most ass. So I don't think that's a fair example to ask for.

                                I don't know the current exchange rate, but I feel like $599 is significantly more than <100€

                                  I don't think I've paid more than that for a pixel, and I have bought a 256 GB Pixel before. I feel like that $600 apple phone has 32 GB storage or something absurd

                                    I’m not the one claiming the existence of a new sub-100 euro Samsung.

                                          $111 and released 2 years ago. But still, closer than I thought. Amazon 3rd party seller is kinda cheating though.

                                          But my question remains, are we upset with Apple because they haven't provided a low budget option? There are so many good reasons to be angry with companies; "Their products are out of my price range" is like the lamest one.
