Lad I work with showing off his new iphone today going on about it costing 1500 euros

@smileylovesgaming I certainly would not!

Admittedly I bought it five years ago but my portable' phone cost me about £40 = $48 US at today's rate.

It replaced a so-called "smart"-'phone, an LG2017, that had cost about twice that but was still under $100.

Given inflation its latest equivalent will cost more now, but not ten times as much!

Even my computer, a DELL factory rebuild I bought earlier this year, cost much less than half that Apple 'phone.

@onlineuserC81 Dumb boy well he is what he is

@WolfGirlwh0r3 They aren't even worth near that money either.

@onlineuserC81 No they arent, not worth the carbon they are printed on

@helenS I have the same one. It works well, and it's not tablet size which is useful if you're a cyclist.

@supersnipe That phone has replaced a ton of things in my life:
diary, pocket calendar, radio, CD player, egg timer, address book, phone book, alarm clock, dictionary, everything.
Men are still necessary though.

@helenS Why, thank you! That's nice to know 😀

@checkoutanytime Bore off!

@onlineuserC81 nobody wants an Iphone anymore, they are made in china by slaves.

@checkoutanytime Lot's still like them. But they are over rated. and over priced.
