<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> 100% right, it absolutely does. Although, I can&#39;t say I&#39;m surprised given Apple&#39;s stance of &quot;we deserve all of the money we can extract from our customers (suckers)”</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://front-end.social/@mikesusz" class="u-url mention">@<span>mikesusz</span></a></span> oh sure but like it doesn’t change the fact that a class of phone that used to be $429 is now $599.</p>

<p>Apple is charging $899 for the iPhone 16e in Canada. Canada, I am so so so sorry. Please have your US friends smuggle phones to you.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> seems like Apple is readying themselves to pay a tariff? if the tariff goes through and applies to them, Apple might say “we’re not raising the price!” look like heroes. and if it doesn’t go through or they are (get themselves) excluded from it, Apple gets to pocket the extra cash.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@waynedixon" class="u-url mention">@<span>waynedixon</span></a></span> this just smacks of greed and it makes me sad.</p>

<p>And this is why Europeans buy Androids. Like, I get it. And you’ll pry iMessage and Apple from my cold dead hands. But if my whole culture used WhatsApp anyway, FOH for a $729 “budget” phone. <a href="https://kiwi.fuo.fi/notes/a4fph75az04z00rm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">kiwi.fuo.fi/notes/a4fph75az04z</span><span class="invisible">00rm</span></a></p>

<p>&quot;It&#39;s our most expensive cheap phone ever and we think you&#39;re gonna love it.”</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> If it was basically a replacement for the iPhone 14, including dynamic island, MagSafe charging, and a dual camera system, then it&#39;s price would make sense. </p><p>As you said, it&#39;s $100 more than it should be.</p>

<p>It’s actually insane that an iPhone 16e costs the same as a Mac mini M4. I fear we’ll never get another Apple product with that kind of value ever again. (And we got the m4 mini less than 6 months ago)</p>
