Strange comparison. The iPhone is 8 years old.

But it wasn't really top notch back in the days either. I had a Droid/Milestone and the iPhone just looked and felt like some plastic garbage in comparison to it. It took the Apple til the iPhone 4 it became a real gem and now it seems that they're going back.



view as:

The original iPhone was $600 with a 2 year contract, this is $10 with no contract, that's the comparison.

At 2 % of the price of the original iPhone, I do think this is somewhat remarkable. Just consider how much is left to the device manufacturing after cost of customer service at sales, logistics, etc.
