Members The Anomaly Posted July 27, 2012 Members Share Posted July 27, 2012 Let me give an example, since some of you disagree: Apple iphone 4s, 16gb = $199Apple iphone 4s, 32gb = $299 32gb Micro SD card for Android phone = $17.08 on Amazon. Apple charges $100 for just a memory upgrade. If you think paying $100 is fine for a $17.00 product, I don't know what to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference with the other phone mfg's is that, they give you the choice to upgrade your phone for that $17.00, instead of having to buy a more expensive phone.

Members decode6 Posted July 27, 2012 Members Share Posted July 27, 2012 Maybe not Kohler faucets or toilets per se, but they are sure proud of their small engines. A generator with a Kohler motor will be $$$ more than one with a Subaru motor (a superior product). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members satannica Posted July 27, 2012 Members Share Posted July 27, 2012 Back to cars, Mercedes have that over expensive, upper class thing in the UK too. But my 1999 A class has 177k, petrol engine, auto and is meant to be one of the most unreliable cars you can get. But, it's been in the family 10 years and has yet to have any major failures. In fact, I just brought it back from Germany last week back to the UK. It doesn't miss a beat. My previous Ford Mondeo, toted as ultra reliable and super cheap to fix ws the wort piece of {censored} I ever owned. And it cost me a {censored}ing fortune. My neighbour's C Class Merc is a similar story to mine. When my A finally dies, I'm definitely staying Mercedes. It's a higher outlay. But you're not making friends with the mechanic!

Okay, so you don't see something wrong there? You're comparing the latest evo 4g lte with an iphone 4, not a 4s. Not only that, but the fact remains, you have to pay $100 more and buy another phone for a simple memory upgrade. By the way, did you know that the iphone 4s isn't even 4g??

Members guitarbilly74 Posted July 27, 2012 Members Share Posted July 27, 2012 more than they "should"? What's this? The USSR? Every company (and individuals) should charge as much as people are willing to pay for their products and services. If tomorrow someone offers me double the money to do the exact same {censored} I do today, I am accepting it in a heartbeat. I am not going to say "wait, I think you are paying me too much" Also, becoming a "name brand" is neither easy nor free. If these companies employed the correct marketing investments and strategies to become a brand name, they are more than entitled to reap the benefits of doing so.

I didn't pay attention and I was actually just messing messing with you. I use an android myself. I do stand by my statement with regard to computer hardware though, at least on the high end of things. I've spec'd out many systems and the prices are remarkably similar when configured the same. That said, I still use PCs more often than Macs but I can't say that one is any better than the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
