  • At least in America often the top-tier phones will get the best deals. An example is various carriers a few times a year will give you a new iPhone or Galaxy for free or low cost if you trade in an iPhone or Galaxy (often running promos even taking outdated and broken handsets Example Verizon iPhone 15 Pro deal). Very often budget handsets get little to no subsidy and worse trade-in deals. How many people facing the option of trading in a broken phone for a free high end model, or getting enough trade in value to buy a cheaper basic handset, would not choose and iPhone Pro Max.




  • While not the best news, most car models from before 2018 that are connected only have 3g modems (and no 2g/1g fallbacks to save money), 3G has essentially been off in North America for a few years so most of the connected cars from that era can not connect to anything (at least not without new modems/adapters).

    Although this ofc says nothing of facts like Mercedes charging $50+ a day to use their diagnostics/repair software thats required for just about anything from 2010+ and has many functions locked to their tools that cost a few thousand each.MB diagnostics price list
