Is the iPhone overpriced or worth it?
I own a Samsung Galaxy S7 which has far superior technical specifications to iPhones, but they cost twice as much as my S7, have way lower screen resolutions, way less RAM, etc.

I know, they're so expensive because iOS is apparently optimised and the hardware is made specially for the iPhone, but my S7 still performs better than the iPhone.

A thousand USD for a phone? That costs more than my PC which can max out any new game out there. Yes, I can run all games on max settings in full HD, at more than 60 FPS.

So, are the iPhones really worth it or just overpriced? I've never had one and honestly, I'd love to try it to make a change, as I've been using Android for almost a decade.

Thanks in advance, and please don't respond if you don't know what you're talking about. I don't really want to argue with people who just come to spread hate on phones for no reason.

Why do folks worry about a phones price; every single top notch phone costs nearly the same. Just go to your provider and switch phones if you like; you pay for the phone in your plan, not upfront. Most providers allow you to switch device / upgrade once every 1-year of having a service plan. The upgrade option also should allow you a discount based on trading in your old device as well.

No it's not ever worth buying anything from Apple, period.
Samsung and LG are WAY better. But that depends on the actual model.
However Samsung clogs up nearly half the phones memory with bloatware junk; LG however doesn't pull that non-sense.

Of course they are overpriced. And so are all Apple products. You pay for the brand not the quality or funtionality.

A phone is not worth $1000.

How can Apple be one of the most profitable and richest companies in the world while only selling smartphones and a few computers? Make everyone pay a 50%+ premium on all your products. They build these phones for maybe $400 then sell them for $1000 because people are stupid enough to drop that much a phone.

Except that your phone is nowhere as fast as an Iphone 8 or X:

Please do your research before your spout out claims like that, Iphones have almost always beaten Androids on AnTuTu, which is like the most used bench for testing phones. Geekbench scores of Snapdragons are lower than Apple chips too, couple that with a less bloated OS and you get a snappier phone. Your phone having more RAM means little to nothing when the OS makes use of more RAM than iOS.

I personally use Androids, but your comparison of phone to computer is also terrible. You can't compare a desktop computer to a phone... they are different devices for different purposes. That's like comparing a mountain bike to an Allroad wagon.

Yes and as a result, Samsung is doing the same; look at the S9 pricing.

It's never worth it to make the switch to that iOS crap.
That's like making yourself move to some other country where you know nothing about it, or how to speak the language. Nothing Apple offers, is really worth their pricing. Most of their tech is always 3 steps behind others but still costs way more. Apple is easily years behind the curve without Steve Jobs around

It feels like Apple cares more about the OS and design of the iPhone. I've got to admit they are built really well. Maybe that's why they are so expensive? Some people say your just paying for the Apple logo, I disagree though.

I'd say if you're looking for a phone just get what you want. If it works for you, and you don't mind paying for it, why does it matter?

Half the apps I want to use, don't exist on iOS; thats the problem.
Mysterious Gamer 2018 年 6 月 10 日 下午 1:15 
Judging to the specs of old iPhones (5, 5s and newer) and comparing it to another phones of that same age, I must say that the iPhone is overpriced.
Even in these years the iPhone still can't reach the Samsung Galaxy.. 7, just putting an example. In specs, yes, it may have that thing called Face iD. but it can't be compared to the camera or the battery duration of the Samsung.
For me, Apple put that expensive price (aside of wanting to get back what they paid for the parts) just by the fact that is iPhone, the phone that all the people want.

Not really. Steve Jobs sold a $350 GPU for $1000 with a different BIOS. Apple's chips are actually faster than Qualcomms when it comes to processing power, so they're not really behind. Almost never been. It's been like that for the past 3 gens or so.

As to the OS itself, people are fine with it. I prefer Androids, that's it. But if somebody prefers Iphone, I'm not going to ditch on that person just because he or she uses an Iphone. I have benchmarked phones in past and I understand their capabilities.

These new Apple products use the same cheap plastic as the Acer and Lenovo laptops next to it. These machines are not as finely build as they used to be.

Only thing I can give Apple credit for is that OSX software works really well with the hardware it is build for (Yet it will not run on anything else :'P). Much better then MS Windows (Kinda hard to if you are trying to make it run on everything). But that is not worth the premium.

huh? iPhone shells have been full alloy for quite some time now.

BTW you WANT much plastic inside your phone in various areas; so it can flex during drops.
If such devices can't flex, they crack MUCH easier.

Why are we jumping over to that non-sense? We're talking about PHONES

Sorry. I went on an Apple flame. :P

And once Apple did the whole usb audio jack idea; they really shot themselves in the foot.
Seriously, who in the board-room thought that was a good idea; they should be fired because that was one of the dumbest things to ever do to a phone.
