I had to be at the Eaton's Centre yesterday and I could see the line ups to get it, even though I wasn't near the Apple store. That says something right there.
I like the higher end phones but I generally stay a generation or 2 behind as a compromise on having the latest and price.
Paid almost double that for a high end PC that I really do nothing more than watch YouTube on and run amp sims with though. I definitely feel a little more stupid about that purchase than the iPhone lol
I had to kick out 700 or so for some kind of iphone this year bcs my nokia 710 crapped out after 5 years. I have to have it for work but outsida that its nuthin to me.
Innaresting that the CBC shitpokes would report on that since they are in essentially the same business of formulating attitudes through propaganda - although, then again, none of them hacks ain't all that bright. Some French dude wrote a book about propaganda - jacques somebody or other.
Even so, it's easier to justify that much or more spent on a guitar that you keep for years over a phone that's (by many) considered obsolete within a year or so
Because it's their lifeline. Everything evolves around it. Really, look at all those zombies on the street. Take their iPhone away, they fall to pieces. It's like a respirator/pacemaker/intravenous plasma for them.
Yeah, I'm an old fart that still uses a flip flop phone and doesnt get it. My wife cant live without her Iphone and tells me to get with the program but i cant justify something this expensive to talk with. Now a guitar, thats another ball game.LOL
There's a lot of condescending BS in here, from people who spend $ on a hobby that also has high depreciation and generally no financial return. Don't think most of you are gigging or selling music, amiright?
Jock, not really. And I guess I sorta understand the premise, it is indeed a lotta dough. But if people want nice things, who the hell are we to look down on them?
I don't have a personal phone either, though that's misleading as I have a company i5S that I use also personally. But I keep the Mrs in a nice phone, and am about to upgrade her to one of the new Apples....haven't committed to the idea of the X yet, I will say.
Heroin and opioids are supposed to make you happy too. I don't think they are that good for you from what I hear. Neither do material things. If they did, the last phone they bought would have made them so happy they would not want to replace it with another one.
I don't own a cell phone either. Got by over a half century without one and don't really have a need for one (need being the operative word, sometimes it's great to be unreachable too). I have made the observation before and this is just another, of many products, that is not made to last, made from materials that will last hundreds of years, if not longer. They ought to be making these things from something that biodegrades in about 5 years or so with the expected life span they have. To me they epitomise the throw away society/culture that has become so prevalent.

eeeasy, folks. keep that blood pressure down. lets try and steer the blame towards millennials and their dependancy on technology and avocado toast.
time to cuddle up by the fire, listen to an old timey radio show and think about good ol the days before you fucked up the world and created the next generation that you bitch about now
Who are we talking about here? Are we talking about people who need to have the latest and greatest or are we talking about the Uber intelligent poor, the extremely wise frugal perhaps? Bitter have-nots?
I know a lady who uses a 2 million dollar home for storage.
She must be dumb as fuck.
