We're in a recession with a President and an administration that is pushing for austerity thus forcing our economy to tank while the rich benefit.
$800 is a lot of money when wal-mart has a smartphone for $40. $800 is rent in some places like expensive ass Seattle *gets mad thinking about this high ass rent*. $800 is car. $800 is car payment. $800 is enough money to build a desktop computer or buy a laptop. Technically it costs $975 with taxes for me so it's even worse. This ain't $20 we're talking about here...
Some of it are people that look at android and at the cheaper price. You can buy a used LG G6 and an Xperia X Compact for the price of an iPhone 8 256 Gb with taxes.
