https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_5C It didn't go so well.

Agreed that phone prices are kinda nuts. But they really are computers now and not "just" phones. Cutting-edge ones should be expensive, but diminishing returns are fast approaching. Within 5 years, I expect that 5G, good screens, day-long batteries are going to be common and then maybe there will be more competition on price.

Maybe.

I paid around $600 for my V30S and that seems like a fair price to me. Except for the fact that OS and security updates are slow to non-existent. Grrr...

I didn't win the lottery last night, maybe tonight!! If so, maybe a Pixel 3 is in my future, or maybe not.

Cheers,
Scott.
