Apple Is Better Than Aging Hardware
The iPhone 7 currently retails for $449 — which is only $50 more than the Google Pixel 3a. But there’s a key difference between the two devices. One is a modern, entry-level handset, and the other is an aging flagship device that Apple has kept selling to fill our the lower-end of its price range. The difference is striking.
Compared to the Google Pixel 3a, the iPhone 7 is still a capable device. But consumers deserve better. The Pixel 3a’s strength is that it isn’t just an old device at a reduced price point. While it has pared-down features and specs, Google’s lower-end handset is still incredibly modern. What Apple really needs is a device designed from the ground-up to be current yet affordable — and it’s done this before.
