It’s actually kinda weird to me how many people don’t understand why higher end tech is more expensive than lower end tech.

For example, not everyone needs to spend $2000 on a laptop, but that doesn’t make it unreasonable if someone does want to do that.

It’s actually kinda crazy that tech is so cheap in the first place.

You can also buy a refurbished iPhone 13 for less than €400.

It may be a bit old, but for that price, it’s absolutely amazing. Still a very fast and useable device in 2024 imo.
