Thank you for proving the parent's point. The base model is insufficient for your use case. You know Apple's base models have a history of being insufficient for your use-case and that upgrades are pricier than you'd like. You see the cost of the base model and are upset when you find that you will need to spend more than that base cost to get the model you want. Apple devices and upgrades are costly, without a doubt. But there is clearly a market for whom the price and capabilities of the base model is more than enough.

You're welcome. I don't disagree. I know the prices on AirBnB are a lie too, but they still make me unhappy. I know the unlimited data plans are not unlimited, but I am no happier due to this knowledge when I see their ads. I know if I buy a perpetual license for a service, it will probably stop functioning in less than 5 years, but I am not more content when it happens because of this knowledge. People are complaining about the expected tip percentage rising well above 20%. But they feel unhappy about this, instead of mentally adding 30% to the list prices and counting that as the real price and imagining the tip is 0. At this point, it should be fascinating if we find an instance where human emotions don't work like this, rather than if they do.
