Big companies sell their expensive phones for cheap because they'll get their money selling your data and showing you ads. A phone like this won't get any money out of you other than the money you give when buying the phone. So it makes sense that it's pricey.

    "Big companies sell their high end phones for cheap"

    What crack rock are you sleeping under? I can buy a street legal used vehicle for less than the "latest and greatest" samsung or Apple phone.

    The truth is, if it wasn't for data collection, these phones would be more expensive than this. So yeah, they are cheap compared to their price if companies didn't collect user data.

    I know there's other costs associated (like the engineering and advertising) , but I happen to know with the iPhone 13 pro they were making about $400 per device. I doubt those margins have shrunk much, if at all, since then.
