$999 for a phone that's not quite on par with a Galaxy S6 from 2015? No thanks.
I guess people disregard that in benchmarks Apple destroys Android in every aspect. I am a Note 5 user and have a Note 8 in the mail. I may actually return the Note 8 for an iPhone. (Also I've owned Samsung GS3, HTC One, Sony Xperia Z1, Xperia Z3C, Note 2. iPhone 3G/iPhone 4. The standby time on Android is ATROCIOUS.
Price does not matter really. It's Apple, people will pay whatever they are charged and like it. Not like they are going are going to overcharge you for any extra accessories..... /sI don't think the price is terrible, but it's high, no doubt.
I'd jump on a limb and say it is a value considering my current iPhone 6S Plus was $999.

The amount of salty people is hilarious. Android is doing the same. Look at the note 8? It basically started it all.
Get back to me if your piss is able to outperform the Threadripper.I can sell my piss for $1,000 and call it a bargain.
Sorry, you're correct. The 128GB version was $949 before the 7 came out.CMAN... when was your current 6s $1k? Sorry, don't believe that one.

You think that the price of Note 8 is acceptable though? No, especially since Samsung's proposition to the user base has never succeeded through a premium luxury angle. I couldn't justify moving from Note 4 to 8 purely on Samsung essentially sitting on its laurel and not improving on the S8, and then charging me a grand just because of the Wacom stylus.
It pisses me off that Samsung has the gall of milking those of us who use Note series to this point. I actually would give it serious consideration if Note 8 brings much more to the table than the S8, but nope.
It's pretty ridiculous that the $200 Note 4 today remains a damn good phone even if it will not get anything more than than Marshmallow.I'll plan to use my Note 4 for a long time. Don't like the curved screens and the ease in which they break. No way am I paying that much for a phone, I'd rather by another Note 4 for less than half the price.
Yet people here spend $700+ for graphics cards to play games with. Go figure.
Apple Care also went from 129 to 199. Not putting much faith in the product either.
It's a high end product with specs from nearly three years ago that you paid a high price for. You are paying a premium for specific branding. Nothing more, nothing less.
The specs are pretty sweet on the note8 compared to my note 5. I would not pay for the upgrade until this phone dies or is moderately obsolete.You think that the price of Note 8 is acceptable though?

Oh yeah, I am real salty. Money was burning hole in pocket, but it cooled off after seeing what's being offered.
But it isn't made by Apple, Apple hate is trendy.
Isn't it funny that despite the "specs" even the iPhone 7 still runs circles around this years Android phones in real world usage. The iPhone X will be yet another step above that. Oh I forgot specs..... god people are stupid.

You tell me if it's stupid to complain about the notch, taking a step back and face the iPhone each and every time you want to unlock it, to be stuck in Dongle life purgatory, having to foot $75 extra to get quick charge and then having to deal with the idiosyncrasies of not using USB-C but hanging onto Lightning?
Sorry, but Apple, who actually delivered a crushingly great chipset with a really optimized OS, had to botch it like that! I am really salty over that. Just why in this blue Earth did courage translate into creating more of a hassle!
I dont agree with FaceID which is why I'm not buying one, still keeping my iPhone 7 though. That said I haven't tried it yet, it may actually be good and sooner or later I will have to buy one anyway. $75 extra to get quick charge... LOL harden up cupcake, you can still fast charge from a PC or whatever or use an iPad charger. I don't care about it anyway, fast charging killed my Note 4's battery within 1 year. I will never use it again, I only ever charge overnight anyway, always get a day from a charge.

I don't really think that it's fast charge that did Note 4's battery in, but rather the pisspoor power management. I've tossed out the OEM battery, and hell, the OEM battery actually can lead to freeze and whatnot from wear, a problem that goes away when you swap out for a fresh new battery. This isn't something that you would exhibit on Apple.
Android has only gotten its act together since Nougat in this regard, and it's still no iOS level.
Define runs circles in real world usage. It does what? Makes calls? Text message? Video calls? Websurfing? Seriously, explain how it runs circles around Android phones when you don't look at specs, benchmarks, etc. Last I checked, it does the exact same shit, at damn near the exact same speed in real world usage.
Hence why I don't bother getting a new phone until my old phone is starting to die and get an older flagship, cause there really is zero incentive to bother getting the latest flagships. I went from an Xperia Z2 to an X. The X ran slower than my Z2, so I sold that off and got a Z5. That was a few months ago. I think I'm still 3-4 generations behind, but...phone does the exact same shit as the new ones.

Thank you, but what I was referring to was purchase value of new products.You're right. It's usually Android phones that lose their values, quickly.
At least you get:
A. Memory Card and wireless charger or
B 360 Camera
As well as better specs, etc. Seems like much more "value" to me.
Leave it to a billionaire to call a $1,000 USD ($1,300 CAD) cheap.
