Phones are more valuable than laptops these days.

Sorry that you're poor. I will have my personal assistant take care of procuring mine.

The very second people started buying the Iphone X for full price we were all doomed. The market has clearly shown they are willing to pay over $1k for a phone. All brands will be at that price shortly.

I'm not saying I'd pay that (although I have an iphone X), but most people use their phones way more than a personal laptop these days.

I have my work laptop my job gives me and the rest of my internetting is done on my phone. I rarely touch the macbook at our house.

Phones aren't just phones anymore. They are personal PCs that never leave an area within your immediate grasp. It makes sense to me that the tops ones are comparable in price to laptops.

You can't lay in bed with your laptop in one hand and your dick in the other.

This is true. I use my phone for everything. Email, banking, Netflix, movie tickets, plane tickets, pics, vids, you name it.

My life is on this god damn thing.

They still can’t do what laptops can though. Doing actual work with office products for example is a nightmare on a phone or even tablet. I have to use my laptop for a lot just because I get annoyed easily.

I mean, the phone is basically a computer as sophisticated as laptops were only a few years ago. The only thing missing is a physical keyboard, but in return you can connect to the internet just about wherever you go.

What do you expect?

People have stopped buying expensive laptops and replaced it with an expensive phone and a cheap tablet for home use.

Should importance mean the price needs to be higher though?

Guess I’ll pay $100 for this bottle of water since I can’t live without it.

The phone is pretty sweet though. It’s definitely a game changer.

I’ll probably wait until Christmas to get the kids new iPhone X max’s
