Haha, you think that what I said in context is calling you names ... then I don't know what to tell you.

I will say that I can agree that phones in general are too expensive these days. I don't feel the need to buy these over 1k phones. Also In the past I've bought the old newton 1000s because they fit my need. But devices have always been expensive, especially when you buy them unsubsidized. I bought my phone new full price. Saved up for it ... pretty simple.

Your argument, has some merits ... but falls apart if you apply it to say anything else. Example those 4k atmos smart tv are too expensive ... so you can buy the cheap Chinese set from an unknown brand

Cheers
