I don't think if I had a million $$$ sitting in my account today, I would wanna spend 999 of that on the iPhone, except to use as an ornament.
Point is, I don't think the phone is worth a 999 price tag. Of course, it is Apple, and they get to charge whatever they want. Not to say the phone isn't sweet-looking, but let's be honest.
We're talking about a 1k$ for a phone? a Phone!
Here's what 999 gets me:
Sony Xperia XZs - 550.00$ = 23mp camera/960fps, does every sensible thing the iPhone does, and even more.
Sony SBH70BK Headphones - 59.99$ = up to 650 hours Talk time: up to 8.5 hours Streaming time: up to 6 hours
Eventually throw a LineageOS onto it (optional)
That's some 380$ left.
What do I do with the 380$? You tell me, but I'm thinking of getting a truck load of Lays Potatoes (all spices) and KitKat fingers!
With budget above: huge battery gains + outstanding performance + makes calls still!
Once a jobbing developer I have since moved into Management. I continue with a couple of hobby projects to ensure I don't go mad. I focus on iOS/Swift and ROR.
