    You should have bought it with the gift cards. I think I paid around $1800 for my daughters phone

            @KangaDrew: Yeah i know right. At that age i bought my first PC from my own money for around $1,100 back in the early 90's. Saved up years for it through a pamphlet delivery job. It would be about $2,400 today due to inflation. Back then i got very little from my parents.

            Kids get it way too easy these days with their parents paying for every thing. Even expensive stuff like iPhones.

            Besides eventually after many years they'll shut down the 5G network some day in the future. And the expensive phone will be a paper weight. Just the same as what happened with 3G phones.

      Good for you but you realize the trade off though right? Samsung has lots of sales so you can get their flagships significantly cheaper than Apple. So to you, Samsung has the better value. However this also causes the resell value of their phones to drop very quick. On the other hard, Apple rarely has sales and even when they do, they still cost significantly more. Bue because of that, Apple devices are able to retain their value really well for a long time. Thus, Apple is better value from that perspective. You're more than welcome to have your own preferences and opinions as to which is better value, but objectively they're both valid. I personally have no horse in the race as I prefer Google phones over both Samsung and Apple.

      • glade90 on 21/11/2023 - 08:56
        +1

        you realize the trade off … resell value of their phones to drop very quick

        I do realise that re price drop, so let's do a simple example to make sure you realise that too.
        I'll use round numbers here for simplicity.
        Let's say I buy a Samsung on special for 700. Let's say I buy an Apple for 1500.
        Let's say I want to upgrade after 2 years, and Samsung retains only 40% of it's value, and Apple a whopping 70%!

        Loss on Samsung = 700 * 0.6 = 420
        Loss on Apple = 1500 * 0.3 = 450

        You can, of course, argue that the numbers aren't exactly right, but I'm hoping by now you realise that your logic re resell value drop doesn't hold water (and let's not talk about all other issues that can and do happen, such as dropping the phone and needing to replace screen, etc.)

        • stephendt on 21/11/2023 - 14:25

          You've just given the perfect reasoning why you should just buy a used Samsung. win win!

          No but your phone can potentially invest in more money and stocks for you. That’s a trade worth paying up. Technology has advanced and evolved so much to the point where A.I. controls merely everything. Everything sounds and looks more intuitive.

        • linkindan on 21/11/2023 - 00:16

      If you can't understand then clearly it's not for you. This is a pro version of a flagship series of phones and is not intended for the average consumer who can't grasp the need for it.

      I personally do a lot on my phone so I need something of this calibre. I have over 300 apps. I also value screen real estate. So my only options are

      • iPhone 15 - 14 - 13 Pro Max
      • Galaxy S23 - 22 - 21 Ultra
      • Pixel 8 - 7 - 6 Pro

      And I'm happy to pay $1k+ if necessary but as everyone else, I love bargains so it usually doesn't cost as much thanks to OzBargain. I currently have a Pixel 6 Pro and am happy with it and prefer Google phones over Apple and Samsung phones because of vanilla Android. I don't plan to upgrade soon, will probably wait for the Pixel 9 or 10 Pro.

      There is the no problem with the existence of $2000 phones. And there's nothing wrong with you getting by with a $300 phone. And there's nothing wrong with $2000 phones going on sales and being a bargain. OzBargain does not exclusively cater to low end products, high end products on sale can be bargains too.

      • Icecold5000 on 21/11/2023 - 07:27

        There is the no problem with the existence of $2000 phones

        Apparently there is to many. They refuse to better themselves financially and see the existence of such phones and see themselves as so entitled that Apple should change its pricing policy to take into account their slender means.

      Cool, I'm not sure if you're looking for a phone or just staying your general budget but in case you are -

      The $399 - Google Pixel 6a seems to be best option for you.

      If you prefer iPhones, the 11 was <$500 recently. The Galaxy A54 has deals around $450. Which means the A34 is probably cheaoer. The Motorola E13 for $98 or Nokia C31 for $128 for extreme budget phone. The Moto G62 was voted best phone under 300. The Pixel 6a was voted best under <$500.

      I personally have the Pixel 6 Pro, which is currently $669 on Reebelo (yes, brand new).

      I am in this thread solely for the repartee.

      Cool, I left a couple somewhat big comments on this deals against people who can't grasp this deal if you'd like to read them.

        Thanks for the update. I'm still a happy owner of the Pixel 5 - an excellent small phone - and I think I have a fairly long wait before the Pixel 8 gets down to sub $500. But I'm a long-time Apple shareholder, so I'm happy when others are content to drop $2K on a phone.

          You would be better off with the monthly subscription iCloud $15/month (or Turkey $7.5/month) which gives you 2TB. I wasn't keen to subscribe to have ongoing fees and I always wanted the largest storage size and keep everything (but still back up frequently) on the phone just like you.

          A 512GB is plenty for apps and photos/videos with iCloud. From 512GB to 1TB is an additional $350 which is equivalent to 2 years of iCloud subscription. Just use 'optimized' and reduced photos/videos on the phone which you can still access seamlessly (don't think of blurry images waiting to be downloaded to view). And your photos/videos are always backed up on the cloud! Trust me, in 2 years time, iPhone 15 will drop more than $350 for a second hand. Even if you are looking for trade in with Apple, each tier storage they would give you $50-80 extra, instead of $350.
