      I mean, that’s fine, but that absolutely does not make a $450 phone “completely unaffordable”…

      Most people around me carry $1k+ iPhones.

            Well, too bad for them then. Taking a loan does not make a purchase easier, you pay even more anyway. So point still stands, a $450 phone IS an egregious lot, just not absolutely insanely so.

              Yes, as I said, they’re stupid.

              No, it doesn’t. And no, it’s not. $450 gets you a SIGNIFICANTLY better device than $200. Probably 95% of available phones are well over $200. Just because you personally can’t afford it does not make it “egregious”.
