minus-square@yetAnotherUser@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-21 year agoI’m referring to the average - obviously there’ll always be decentbudget phones with an unbeatable price-to-performance ratio. Here’s a source for my claim - I couldn’t find any better ones after a few minutes. According to this: The ASP [average selling price] of the North American smartphone market reached its historic Q1 record high of US$790 this year.

With more and more people having more and more expensive phones, how will having replacable batteries while being waterproof drive up the price?
