the price for heaven's sake... it's me or every year the new model gets almost 100 bucks more expensive the the previous one. We can expect a base price of 1000€ in 5 or 6 years.
No, it's virtually the same price it's always been, but with more storage. The first iPhone with 8Gb was $599, 9 years later it's only $50 more for the 32gb model. What weird blogs have you been reading?
