I've got a iPhone 7 plus, it was painful shelling out the $ for it, and I still don't use 70% of the functions or to its fullest abilities. I think once you get into that price category, it ain't about the functionality or features, its all about the bragging rights. Lets be realistic, who really uses all of even 1/2 of the functions on their smart phones.
I've got a 7 Plus phone myself and had the same thought- I don't take advantage of 3/4 of what it has to offer either. X looks beautiful though.
I think that you are right and that is the whole point . That they offer a phone so expensive, so sweet looking that it becomes the prize. So you offer it as a prize for a contest, reward for attending time share thing . etc.Originally Posted by knights
ie most people will not buy it, they will win it.
and ofcourse apple pockets the money.
that is how I got my ipod and Ipad opening checking accounts etc. ( granted I think I would have to get a mortgage to justify a 1100 bucks)
I would never pay that much money for a cell phone...that is just pure greed.

Agreed! They are so smart though. They let u throw it onto the contact so u just pay a "small" monthly fee just like rolling negative equity into a car loan. The old "it's only x amount more a month".
They are geniuses.....
Blah blah blah Latina's ass...blah blah blah!
They play on people's wants and trying to keep up with the Jones's, if one were to spend that much money on say a laptop computer you would get a pretty nice one, or say a family vacation where memories are made...to me it is ridiculous to spend that type of money on a device, it really is getting out of hand...smartphones have become another addiction that people are having to deal with. I don't know, but I do know I will not be getting one.
I won't fall for their genius marketing lol.

Become the M'ther Fn Jones's..hahaha..
Amazing marketing plan from Samsung and Apple, you have to admit. What I think is stupid is people spreading there finances thin just for a phone. That is ridiculous... Now I don't get a new phone every year but I try to get a new one when it matters. I need not only my phone's but my laptops to be as fast as possible. For the X there are a ton of features that I can benefit from. Different perspective from my standpoint. :-)
I do agree with you guys, some people honestly are addicted to having the latest phone out. Even if it doesn't make sense for the upgrade. Crazy..

This is the first phone I ever owned, it was $1000.00 back in the day and cost 300.00 bucks a month to use !! LOL
