Its about what Apple stands for as a brand. They only push luxury, premium products. They never compromise. They avoid ever looking cheap, whether thats hardware, software, letting users make all their app icons pink and star shaped, whatever.
I guess I just don’t understand marketing/branding because to me you just accidentally called Apple products the dumbest waste of money you’ve ever seen.
Lol well there was also the Note 20 Ultra which improved on the S20 Ultra and also had the stylus. It was also Samsung’s last flagship phone to have an SD card slot. The base note was a joke at that price tho, might as well just save $600 or so and get a Moto stylus with those specs.
Just get the note 11 or note 12…(s22ultra or s23ultra)
Might be pedantic but considering there was a Note 20 it might be better to just call these the note 22 and 23 to avoid confusion lol
Can’t you set the note 8 to FHD resolution? Maybe try that for awhile for an idea of how the plus would look and see how much of a difference you notice and whether that’s good enough for you.
Idk about the plus but the battery life comparisons show the S23U easily exceeding all day battery life for most users. The SD8G2 made some pretty big efficiency improvements over previous generations so battery life shouldn’t be a problem with either option, I would think.
Otherwise you’re paying for the stylus, slightly bigger display, and a better camera. IMO it’s worth it but that’s based on my financial situation and I don’t know anything about yours. If you take good enough care of your phone to make it last at least 4 years then you’re looking at a difference of like $3-5 per month USD depending on how big the cost difference is in your area, not really much of a dent in the wallet for anyone in a financial position to consider a flagship phone in the first place imo.
Also removing the microSD slot from the flagship phones.
I used to laugh at how the Apple was the only manufacturer that forced you to pay $200 for every $15 worth of storage. Not much to laugh about anymore since Android flagships keep insisting on copying & pasting Apple’s militant anti-consumerism.
