This phone costs 1700 euros here... 1700 (Netherlands)! That is the price of a gaming laptop!

Everything has become so incredibly expensive it just isn't fun to buy anything anymore.

My iPhone 11's FaceID broke a few weeks ago and despite that I think I will just stick with it with today's phone prices.

> 1700 euros

Right, thats the top specced 1TB version isnt it?

Amazon Germany has the basic 256g version for 1200€

    Still a phone for over 1000€ is crazy. Iphone 17 is much cheaper, and iphones are supposed to be the most expensive smartphones in my book.

      Are these comments from 2018? 'Pro' models of iPhones have been $999 or more, not adjusted for inflation, at their lowest tier since 'Pro' has been a thing. I would expect the same of a Samsung 'Ultra' flagship?

No one sane buys it for the list price. During launch there are always various discounts. I got S25U for 800 (without sending my old phone, just some coupons) with a 5eur/month contract last year at launch. If it really lasts 7 years it's not even that expensive.

    It's market segmentation. Instead of charging what it's worth, maybe 700 EUR, they charge 1700 so they can get away with charging you 800 eur on "discount", dragging up the prices of the entire lineup below it.
