Imagine seeing a television for $25k as a bargain. Then realize you paid more for your phone than your television.

A phone should cost more than a TV, it does so much more and gets much more use

Most people would be alright with 200 dollar phones like they sell thr south Asian markets. They are glorified media consumption devices in most uses.

Agreed. I've got a flagship phone and it's not all that. $400 phones are the sweet spot, but they should all be cheaper. Plus cell phones are so detrimental to mental health, even moreso than televisions.

I’d say more people spend time in front of a TV than their phone. According to my phone my average is 3 hours a day.
