Lol. Sales stats for the iPhone 16 and Pro aren't out yet, or at least I couldn't find any. Will update this post once the numbers are out.

who the fuck preorders a PHONE?

[–] sneakyninjapants@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Me. $350 off and $100 worth of storage upgrades on a Pixel 9 pro was worth it for me. Phones now are expensive as fuck but getting a ~40% discount on a brand new product made it easier to accept.

Pixel 9? Fuck I'm getting old.

I think that's pretty reasonable? If there are good offers for pre-ordering, why not?

Way better than pre-ordering video games. But that's a pretty low bar anyways.

It's OK for Google to massively overcharge for Phones, it's only bad when Apple does it.

[–] Quintus@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

I find both bad. There. Take your presumptions away.

I'm sure big daddy government will protect apple from having to compete in a real marketplace.
