Because they're kinda expensive to make.

Don't you know anything about the basics of business and capitalism?

There are other phones than the iPhone 6S+. Choose the pricetag and then get the best one for that price.

I'll wait until I finish my BEng and then we'll see. Quite possible I'm gonna move, get a job, and think about doing the MEng abroad.

most are not really that expenise and i live in the 11th most expensive country on the earth to live in.

NZ $300 gets you a really nice phone (affordable but so meh)
NZ $1300 gets you cutting edge tech (Samsung s6 egde) (protip: I want one, too poor for one ;_;)

expenise...yes
Good?

Any phone over $100 is expensive and, what, you change that shit every year? Waste of fucking time. Enjoy getting tracked and your information used against you goys.

You're cramming all this into a device the size of a pack of cards. Not to mention it's also self powered and broadcasts.

Why are frogposters so dumb?

Thats the fucking point of not buying a phone under 100$. You buy a good ~300$ phone and it will last you. Also, there are 100$ phones that will also last.

>>51306857
Because every retard wants AMOLED quality display, fuckton of Ghz CPU, fuckton of GB RAM and fucktons of GBs of storage.

Plus phone, plus photo camera with better specs than a point-and-shoot and HD video recording, plus wifi, plus speaker(s), ports, microSD slot/cards, bluetooth, should I go on?

And all this in an unbendable, unbreakable, waterproof, fireproof pack-of-cards unit. Oh, and it also needs to look fashionable and have quality materials.

Forgot about software too.

Because you're not looking at chinkphones.

Xiaomi Mi4C
>Less than $300
>Same Snapdragon 808 as LG G4/Nexus 5X
>3GB RAM/32GB Storage
>MIUI v7, 5.1.1 Lollipop (CM12.1 ROM also available)

Also take a look at the OnePlus Two if you manage to get an invite.
