    My main issue with Pixels is their price, even the Pixel A

    Have you priced out any comparable phones? They’re practically a steal at their discounted prices.

        I mean, that’s fine, but that absolutely does not make a $450 phone “completely unaffordable”…

        Most people around me carry $1k+ iPhones.

            They’re not rich, they’re just stupid. They pay $25/mo or whatever for 80 years. It’s not wealth, it’s just shitty culture.

              Well, too bad for them then. Taking a loan does not make a purchase easier, you pay even more anyway. So point still stands, a $450 phone IS an egregious lot, just not absolutely insanely so.

                Yes, as I said, they’re stupid.

                No, it doesn’t. And no, it’s not. $450 gets you a SIGNIFICANTLY better device than $200. Probably 95% of available phones are well over $200. Just because you personally can’t afford it does not make it “egregious”.
