They either buy used or a couple generation old. I've never paid more than $350 for an iphone myself. If you don't "have to have" cutting edge, then older phones are fine.

Eh car less so. The trendy thing for Zoomers is to be anti car/stroad/SUV. Using a car shows that you hate the environment.

I agree though, right now it really isn’t a defensible argument from Google.

If Apple won't implement RCS, can Google implement iMessage?
