I don’t think I’ve paid more than that for a pixel, and I have bought a 256 GB Pixel before. I feel like that $600 apple phone has 32 GB storage or something absurd
We’re really not gonna devolve into “Apple is to blame for everything other manufacturers do” argument are we? These companies blow - but blaming one to excuse the others is nutty.
You’re right. Apple charging $1000 dollars for a device had no bearing on capitalism’s way of setting prices based on what consumers are willing to pay… Look up ultrabooks.
They then fixed the issue and are now more transparent about the health of your battery than many Android manufacturers. While “battery gate” had been a problem for a little while around 2017, it hasn’t been in more than 7 years. Old iPhones last a very long time these days and warn you if your battery is degraded to a point where it’ll affect the usability of your iPhone.
You can buy a brand new iPhone 16e starting at $599.
I don’t know the current exchange rate, but I feel like $599 is significantly more than <100€
The exchange rate is pretty close to 1:1 these days. It is significantly more.
I know, I was being sardonic. It’s insane to suggest that a $600+ phone is a budget option.
Oh it’s definitely not a budget option. It’s Apple’s idea of budget.
I was just backing you up with an approximate exchange rate.

iPhone batteries don’t blow up like pixels.
I’ve had like 5 and I have zero idea what you’re referring to
It’s true, they just get nerfed into planned obsolesce which causes the company to get sued.
Wait until you hear what the fix is for the exploding Pixel batteries
Oh I’m aware. Apple set the trend just like they did with the pricing of non Apple devices.

Name a hated trend in phones which apple didn’t do first

Sounds like your issue is with capitalism. Fair.

I have a Nexus 5 still on its original battery. Idk how.
128gb for the $599 model.
or for 559 you can get a 256 GB pixel
