    the next gen would cost 6k instead of “just” 3.5k because its apple, it goes up never down on next release.

    Not to be annoying, but their phones haven’t always been on an upward trajectory, price wise.

    First-generation iPhone (2007)

    First-gen iPhone original starting MSRP: $499

    Inflation-adjusted first-gen iPhone price: $733

    iPhone 3G (2008)

    iPhone 3G original starting MSRP: $199

    Inflation-adjusted iPhone 3G price: $281

    Etc etc. The price doesn’t actually dramatically rise again until the iPhone 7, surprisingly enough. I want to say that’s when all flagship phones began charging around $800 for their entry level versions.

      The thing is, you compare old apple ( real chads, good inovation for CHEAP as advertised ) to new apple ( greedy *ss corpos that want to double the prices if they could ).
