@iChris It's striking to compare with a new Mac loaded up with RAM for the same price. Wonder if many people will go with the financed monthly payments and not think about the total price.

I know people will still buy it. I know Apple will sell a bunch. But can we stop to acknowledge that over $5k with tax for a loaded up iPhone Duo in Canada is kind of nuts?

An advertisement displays the iPhone Duo with 2TB in Night Sky color, priced at $4,799.00, along with payment options and notices about delivery and pickup availability.

@manton That is Canadian pricing I posted about - we get a 50% markup over the USD pricing. Straight exchange on it should be closer to $2,800 so it’s not all that far off. It does still feel crazy considering what you can get for a full Mac.
