    What is the ONLY common consumer electronic devices which does
    NOT get better, faster & cheaper over time?

    The adult question is why is the iPhone the _only_ common consumer
    electronic device which does NOT get better, faster & cheaper over time?

    A phone is a commodity where you can get a new Android phone far better
    than any iPhone ever made for less than half the price of the new iPhones.

    People who think must ask what is it about iPhones (and their customers)
    that makes it the only common consumer electronic device ever sold (not to
    the military) that doesn't get better, faster and cheaper over time?

    Witness this...
    "The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will cost more than any
    previous iPhone, and we know the reasons why. But now, a new leak
    has made these increases harder to justify."

    The adult question is why is the iPhone the _only_ common consumer
    electronic device which does NOT get better, faster & cheaper over time?

    The really adult question would be:

    If it is as common as you agree it is, why does it sell so well in spite
    of what you obviously feel is too high a price?


    A phone is a commodity where you can get a new Android phone far better
    than any iPhone ever made for less than half the price of the new iPhones.

    Cite one such phone.

    Remember: you only state "facts", right?

    You're first mistake is paying any attention to what Digitimes claims.
