Reply To: Apple iphones are overpriced aluminum.
I hate how all these companies are starting to overcharge for their phones, it’s a phone it needs to call, send messages, browse the internet and run a few apps.
I don’t get why anyone needs a super high power chips and super duper high quality camera.
Having a ton of prosessing power on a phone is good for one thing gaming, but it’s mobile games, do you really need to play subway surfers at 1440p 120Hz.
And having a camera which can record 4K 60fps is great, but thing is your phone doesn’t have a 4K screen and posting it to social media will compress it down to 720p or 1080p anyway.
And if you run a youtube channel 1080p is still fine and even if you needed 4K you could buy an actual camera that does the same thing, but probably even better for way less money.
TL:DR you don’t need super high performance gaming because it’s mobile gaming, and you don’t need a super good camera because social media will compress the extra detail away.
Of course having a better camera and a slightly smoother experience is nice but is it really worth the extra price. Keep in mind that 1000$ is 138 hours of minimum wage labour in the US
