Your phone does not offer more screen area on demand. That is genuinely useful for many people. Apparently, not you, but that's OK.

> This $2,000 phone does not seem 8 times better than my $250 phone.

Well lets adjust the comparison you just made, then.

> A $10,000 car and a $80,000 car are going to be markedly different.

I can buy a Maserati Ghibli for under $10K on eBay and it will be very similar to the $109K Ghibli that Maserati would sell me today.

Well, other than being 10 years old, having 100,000 miles on it, most likely needing a new timing chain, suspension, and generally needing a new cooling system, sure.

That's why they're $10K.

Meanwhile for about the same price differential, $10K on eBay will get you an Audi RS 5 ... engine ... with 60K on it.

I don't know that the Ghibli makes the point you want to make.

What point do you think I was trying to make? ivraatiems compared what he paid for a used iPhone on eBay to a new iPhone four years newer, and then said this was an absurd price difference because 8x price gets you way more car.

All I did is point out that this is a bullshit comparison because of course you can buy an older, used product way cheaper than a brand new one. I chose the Ghibli because it is one of the more entertaining (and repeatable every year, there are lots of gluttons for punishment out there it seems) examples of fast depreciating cars. To varying degrees this example could use any product, but ivraatiems chose cars so I ran with it.

It's not really fair to compare a used phone price to a brand new one. The SE 3 sold for almost 500 when it was released.

Is this foldable 4x better than your SE 3? Almost definitely, by every metric, except size if you're into small things.
