Re: My thoughts on new lineup of phones
I don’t like paying more for iPhones, but I work a boring job to afford beautifully expensive toys. With iOS 12, Apple has extended iOS updates to six years instead of five. Delaying an upgrade for a year will more than pay for the higher cost for the basic phone, the iPhone Xr.

The other thing to keep in mind is that the dollar doesn’t by with the dollar used to buy. When you purchased that n75, I bet it was 10 years ago or more. A lot of things have gotten a lot more expensive in the last 10 to 15 years, including phones, which I’ve also gotten more capable than that n75.

Re: My thoughts on new lineup of phones
ha but the real question is when will enough be enough. When they decide to charge 2000 or 2500 for a phone. THe leasing option is pretty much the same as getting you in a contract for 2 years. I do like that you now have stereo mics, but I am still thinking if you are someone that really wants to upgrade waiting until next year might be best.

This is just my opinion, but I think just like the low cost iPad that came out this past spring is a great price point for us as consumers. I think the XR is going to be the better selling phone this year. I don’t think paying an extra 350 bucks for a better camera, video recorded in stereo, and a stainless steel back is worth it.

Re: My thoughts on new lineup of phones
I was able to get pretty nice Nokia phones for much less then $400. I think my Nokia N-75 cost me $100. I only paid $300 for Talks the first time I purchased it, and I only paid $100 to have it activated on subsequent phones. Therefore, it only cost me $200 to get my 3rd Nokia phone with a screen reader, and I did this five years before Apple had an accessible smart phone. Note I'm just correcting some information here. I appreciate what Apple has done and my iPhones, and I don't begrudge what I pay to get my accessible smart phones these days. That's not to say others wouldn't appreciate more affordable options, but then you can still get older iPhones that have a few more years left in them and of course Android phones which have various price points. This is all with accessibility built in off of the shelf, which is a good thing. On 09/13/2018 05:30 PM, 'Kliphton Miller' via VIPhone wrote: I think apple has appealed to all audiences here.
