Phones cost more than computers, and your wallet is the first to cry

In the past, it was because we didn’t have money to buy a phone. Now it’s because we don’t have money to buy a phone.

In one night, the wind direction changed completely. Before, we thought PCs were the big-ticket item—but now phone prices have directly overtaken them. To switch to a laptop, you can grit your teeth and pay a few thousand. To switch to a flagship phone? Better first check whether your credit limit is high enough.

In plain terms, manufacturers are competing on image quality, chips, and foldables—stacking specs until, in the end, consumers foot the bill. There aren’t many functions you can actually make use of, but the reasons for the price hikes are more convincing than the next.

The funniest part is that computers can still be used for five or six years, while phones start lagging after two. Spending more money on something that dies sooner—no matter how you calculate it, the math just doesn’t add up.

My judgment is straightforward: it’s not that phones have suddenly become more “precious”; it’s that manufacturers want to make up their profits from the PC side. Regular people shouldn’t chase launch prices—wait half a year and then look at the prices. The “it’s worth it” law is never absent.

How many years did you use your last phone before replacing it?
