igor 9 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 The Black Friday 2019 will be on 29.11.19. Could it be possible that special Black-Friday-offers will be made, or can it be excluded that Black Friday offers will be placed here? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elvissteinjr 359 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Best way to make customers happy is to reduce the price for others before their pre-orders are even all shipped out. I don't see how this would even be remotely likely to happen, as much as I'd like this phone to be cheaper. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theo.hallenius 31 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) Yeah, let's make people pay full price and not ship devices 3 weeks later, and then offer a discounted price to piss them off even more.

JillieBo 16 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I mean it’d be awesome if they had a case or something on black Friday but I doubt it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, as I've said before, HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE UNSUBSIDIZED PRICE OF AN IPHONE LATELY? Really, the Pro1 is a bargain compared to iFruits, being only a little over half the price, and 10 times as useful in my book. :) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Often you do, because they only partially subsidize the cost, and they finance the rest as a payment on your bill. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not in the US but here i once calculated the things they offer and you end up paying more than the phones full price on top during the minimum contract length (usually 2 years) compared to just buying a phoneless subscription. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you get a small head-start one time in your life you don't ever need those things and get stuff cheaper. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's not a scam if people pay what they were told they'd pay and get what they were told they'd get.....whether it's a smart financial decision as a consumer.....well, we're clearly agreed it's not. The truth is that most people are their own worst enemies financially because they can't delay gratification when a new shiny thing appears, but will pay more to be able to pay over time and have the shiny thing immediately without accumulating their own resources first. If you're using someone else's resources, they will charge you for that. Save your own money for a bit, then get the things with no payment, and you can save that much faster for the next things. But then, financiers don't make money off people who are clever with money LOL. Edited November 25, 2019 by silversolver typo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here we are talking conning people as you trick them to believe it is a good deal. BUT for some with a very strained economy, that perhaps would have had issues lending the money in say a bank, this way MIGHT be a reasonable soluton. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even lower if you look for a deal or get a slightly used one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
