I have a PC at home, a land line, and a cheap, 5-year-old Trac Phone with minimal features. I get by ok. If others think they need to spend $687 for a smart phone, and $100-200 a month for cell phone usage, that’s their choice.
It certainly is their choice, and Apple has made an EXTREMELY PROFITABLE BUSINESS out of anticipating the mass market’s choice. I commend Apple for their success in doing that with the consumer!
I have a Mac at home, a land line. An older iPhone.
IPhones are about $99 now (not $687) and mine is about $65 a month ...normal but you can get less.
See, you were exaggerating.
