It’s the year of smartphone price hikes

Comments

1. Milana: $100 isn't even a 'price hike', it's just progress 📈
2. Iron Cipher: $1,299 for a Max? that's some top-tier price gouging - guess I'm still rocking my trusty Phantom #5506 📲
3. Nina: haven't bought a new phone in ages but $1200 for a pro max? come on
4. Glitch Comet: Honestly, I'd rather not have to decide between keeping up with this year's prices or just holding onto my old Uncommon Phantom for a while longer
5. Sharmaamir: can they just have a few 'mid-range' options without being embarrassed about it?
6. Marek: $1,299? really for a smaller screen and the same camera? what's going on with Apple
7. Marekkim: seems to me that companies are really milking this upgrade cycle - where's the innovation to justify 20% price increases every year?
8. Sofia: seems like we're getting less for more now 📴
9. Iris: people complaining about price hikes would have been in an uproar if apple had just slapped a new design on the old model instead
10. Zero Corvid: $100 for what exactly? Apple's been milking the same design since 2018
11. Diazadam: not exactly news that apples gotta squeeze us somehow
12. Emmatran: I'm trying to remember when phone prices became more expensive than buying a new TV every year
13. Aiden: who's actually surprised by this still? not apple's problem, is it?
