Re: Would you ever pay $1,000 for an iPhone?

Postby Angie10 » 24 Sep 2017, 15:52

Eh, quite simply NO. I'm sorry, but I don't care what the manufacturer claims it does, I would never get a phone for that much LOL I'm not that big into my gadgets anyway. If it weren't for my husband, I'd just settle for the most basic of phones.

You and me both. If it makes and receives calls and texts then basically, I'm good. :lol:

I do have to admit that mine does take nice pictures, but then again, I also have a camera that I could use as well. Nothing short of doing my dishes would even turn my head here.

I suggest you buy a dishwasher from Amazon which is available $200 onward and be happy. I am giving you the link of Amazon to chose from :lol: (not a ref link please)

Good one, Suny! :lol: That made my day.

Yep, I could buy several dishwashers or other appliances for what this one phone costs!

No I don't think I would even if i had the money. I say this because I feel i can use that money for something more relevant than a phone that i am only using to communicate.

So if everyone on here is saying that they won't pay for a $1,000 iPhone, why is there such a long queue? Do they know something that we don't?

$1000 is equivalent to 100,000 kenyan shillings. That is a lot of money and I can do many things with it from paying school fees, rent and the list goes on

I wouldn't buy an iPhone

No way. I would rather buy the needs of my baby and my family than paying such gadget. iPhone is a well-known brand which has good quality. Though, as of today, we should be wise. For the value of gadgets degrades rapidly whenever they come up with new series.

I will not pay $1000 for any phone. If I become rich then I will think about buying $1000 iPhone.

Yep, now let's break that down into how many online tasks we'd need to do to pay for it. We should have one in about 20 years lol. :lol:

For me it would be lot lesser than 20 years but I would wait until they reduce the price to what it is actually worth. They are taking undue advantage of their brand popularity.

I would never pay that much money for a phone. I would (if i could afford it but I cannot right now) buy a phone with a plan (one of those two-year contract things) because you get a "free" phone out of it and you get the service .

Haha , I can earn that in less than three months if I get a real job. I can also reach that amount faster if I do article writing

Yeah, I might have exaggerated. Just a little. ;)

I still wouldn't give that much for it, just because it's supposedly some status symbol. I'd get a nice phone that does what I need it to do, at a reasonable price. I'm just not that bothered about having all the popular stuff. 1K could help feed some people... or something else that would make me feel happier than having a "cool" phone.

Being a simple guy, I am contented with a simple phone that has simple features just as long as it can be used for calling and texting it is fine with me... so I wouldn't buy that, there are many more important things to buy like..."What you need and not what you want..." :?:

Well said. Needs should always go before wants, if you ask me.

If that is what someone wants, and they can afford it, more power to them. Just not for me. I am still thinking of other things I'd rather spend that kind of money on.
