The phone is 1000+ USD
Yeah that's sort of the floor for flagship phones. That's why I'm ten generations behind 😎
I don't get paying more than $150 for a phone. I just need to check emails, read hexbear, and listen to podcasts. Am I the only one terrified about having this fragile and very stealable $2000 thing in my pocket???
My millionaire friend from school did buy those new things, used them, lost, or destroyed them within a couple of month and had like 1-2 phones per year or more (newest models of course).
Ya I know a no work, 30 something daughter of a capitalist, who buys every sub version of the iPhone the second it comes out. She'll even line up and shit.
Yeah exactly (mine was the daughter of a land lord family and married a capitalist heir who fetishised her hard). Lining up for new gadgets did happen, too. Though often not personally.
