In 2018, Apple's flagship iPhone cost ( starts ) $999.
I still don't know what to make of those "numbers". A lot fo jobs outside of Tech Sector had lower salary now in real terms than in 2003, and housing price are many times of those in 2003.

Great phone, loved using it until the benefits of the smartphone became too great to ignore. If I ever decided to give up on smartphones and move to a dumbphone (which isn't that far-fetched - I can use tablet for the most "smart" parts anyway) I'd probably get something like a Razr again. I love the tactical feedback of a flip-phone - you know how to answer a call and how to end it, and it has a physical feel to it…

I had a variation of that mini phone you linked to (the internals get repackaged by various manufacturers). Mine was exactly the height and width of a credit card, and not very thick. It was lovely in my pocket, so unobtrusive. Everyone thought it was a calculator. :) Had to give it up after a while because the battery was really bad. One serious call and it was toast, and the battery got worse with age. If they made…
Saw something that probably was an iPod the other day. For a few seconds I thought it was a new iPhone (can't remember seeing an iPod in years). I want a phone in that size: - Small. - With touchscreen, - With a browser - With downloadable or even uploadable apps (basic ones like maps and messaging clients would be enough, don't need games or 3d, just don't want to rely on my operator or the manufacturer to create a…
Meanwhile, Siemens bet (and lost) a whole sub-brand of absurd design experiments on the idea of phones becoming fashion accessories. Xelibri had all the boldness and cluelessness of a teenager getting killed climbing up a power line pole to impress the girls. Xelibri were truly "phones that should not have existed", a monument to organizational bad judgement. (The 5 and 7 models were kind of cool though, but those were absolute outliers in the lineup)

Edit: I was sure that it is sasha baron kohen in the video. It isn't him apparently but the video is still great.

Ok, but the new iPhone has a huge screen, great browser, email, 64gb ram, > a million apps, 40x the radio bands, 30x the resolution, 3x the battery, 100x the speed, video, and more.

Nokia has revamped its classic phones https://www.nokia.com/en_int/phones/classic-phones
They are not the same. Even though Nokia is infamous for not being able to produce a solid smartphone platform that would actually attract app developers, their feature phones (and Sony Ericsson's, too) were always known for having more finished, polished and faster UX when compared to competition like Siemens and Motorola. The Nokia-branded feature phones produced during Microsoft's ownership and ones produced curre…
They're just a gimmick that's a complete win from a marketing side though. I know Nokia, I've seen their new feature phones everywhere, I've found out that they have sturdy, decent smartphones now (like the 7 plus) running Android One, and I've made three purchases from them this year.
