Surely people that pay that amount of money for a mobile must be embarrassed to be seen with them. I remember when a member of our department sent a message with "sent from my iphone8" everyone was laughing at him. Getting a phone like that out of your pocket is like telling the world you are stupid.

Is that not due to someones inability to send an email properly though. If anyone leaves that attachemtn be it iphone, samsung, or any other generic signature they are worthy of riddicule.

I call my mate stupid, he spent £600,000 on a house thats much smaller than my £100,000 house. saying that, hes happy to pay a premium to have a london postcode. Im happy with my bigger house and a non london postcode.

Its almost like were different people that like different things. I know completely crazy right.

Lets all live in s!!!!horpe, lets all live in s!!!!horpe lets all live in s!!!!horpe and look like each other!!

I really like white kinder buenos. Its the little bits, mixed in with the white chocolate and kindery goodness that makes it a taste sensation. I know i can get more standard kinder buenos for my money than the white ones and theyre for all intents and purposes the same, ie a bar of chocolate but im just one of those gullible people who just has to buy what i actually like. Im going to see my doctor about it, buying what i like, its just not normal is it?

Nobodoy is bothered about the cost of Kinder chocolate. EVERYBODY know that the lastest iPhones are grossly overpriced.

^^ Would you buy said chocolate treat if it was £19.99 a bar ?? ie vastly over priced ?


There has to be a price where the product is not worth the value - that price will be different for different people ..


The price of the new iphone , is hugely inflated for no other reason than the fact than apple can get away with it ..
The price doesnt reflect the product - It reflects Apples willingness to milk their fans

you will not change these kind of peoples minds.

I'm all for people being called out individually when they make contradictory statements of what they like. or say.

But for whatever reason they can't let others spend their money how they see fit without calling them names or labelling them. They can't see that Apple customers come from all walks of life so to simply throw out such remarks is ignorant of what are many reasons people continue to buy Apple products.

It seems the longer people continue to buy iPhones (now 11 years) the more frustrated and irrational these people get

fred246

I am sure I would be frustrated and irrational if I had been buying iPhones for 11 years.

Well thats stating the obvious why buy something you don't like.

Don't think anyone is disagreeing about apple products being overpriced. The cash mountain is proof of that.

I am just amazed at the number of people that think it's normal to have a phone on hp paying £65 per month

It is insane. You can literally buy a mobile phone for £10-£20 which does your dialing for you and has snake. My phone does most things (apps/games/music etc) and cost no more than £100 unlocked.

Add on a "basic" £10/£15 monthly contract and you've got your data/phones/texts all sorted.

It bugs me because in the past companies were competing to make BETTER products. It was quite literally a case of innovation and uniqueness. Now these phone/laptop/games console companies seem to have consumers by the balls and drip feed "upgrades" to consumers. Apple are the worst! I reckon they are sitting on so much R+D that they could release, within a few months, an amazing phone with so many features and at a fraction of the price of £1449! But why should they do that when people insist on queuing outside shops and paying these silly prices?! Drip feed them! Sit on R+D for as long as they can! Other phone companies seem to do it to an extent, but they typically settle in the lower price ranges and become "affordable options".

I like Nintendo in the current day and age, because they have been all about innovation as of late. Introducing the Wii/Wii U and the 3DS/Switch were fairly innovative compared to their rivals (Xbox/Playstation, who were very linear in comparison). But this isn't really a "modern" approach and they are probably on their last legs right now.
