My eyes were opened a long time ago. I refuse to spend more than $250 for a smartphone, too many good options out there. Back in 2015 I purchased a Motorola Nexus 6 on Amazon for $199 and then I bought last year the Huawei Mate SE. People think i'm exaggerating when I tell them it has the look and feel of an expensive iPhone. If I had just waited a month later I could have purchased that same brand new Huawei Mate SE for $179 on Amazon.

But like I said, each will find value in what they buy. It applies to someone like me who refuses to spend a lot of money on a phone and I have the disposable income to do it, as it applies to someone who sees value in a $1500 iPhone.
I suppose but i see NO value in a $1500 phone that you will have MAYBE 2 years. Im glad im not a phone junkie and dont need the lastest and greatest or mulitiple phones. Just too expensive of a "hobby" lol.
I dont see value in an iPhone that is so far behind feature and OS wise for the price they charge now. Samsung is getting there too but at least they have many more features in theirs and the price goes down where Apples dont.

Saw an ad today from Frys electronics they will have the Samsung S10e on sale for just today for $609 for the black one only. Decent deal but i dont need another phone.

You sound like you fall into my camp although you are willing to spend more but still, there are others who love the iPhone and are not bothered spending more than a $1000 and see a ton of value in their purchase. It's why the term "value" is defined by each individual.
