Should you still buy your next smartphone — or subscribe to it instead? Apple, Samsung … are betting that leasing, subscriptions, and guaranteed buyback programs can make upgrading more attractive. (techcrunch.com)

I bought my Samsung for $240 CAD, brand new, not refurbished.

I can't tell the difference from an expensive phone. Less camera lens? I don't understand why other phones are $1000 to $2000. Processor speed? On a phone? I'm not running games on this thing except online chess. It plays YouTube without ads. It makes calls and sends texts.

I just don't get it.

Past $800, you’re not getting a better processor. The base iPhone and Galaxy offer the same chip as the Pro Max and Ultra, respectively, in most generations.

You’re only getting more cameras or screen. The $2000 ones fold.

Thata why apple made their new cheap MacBook out of some phone processors but wont let us have a dual OS on the phone if we plug it into a monitor. Because its powerful enough to do that, but we wont buy both if we can.
