ballad wroteidk why samsung is pricing their phones that high.
They should differentiate themselves from apple with that "expensive=premium" mentality
In addition to both above valid comments, I would like to highlight the fact that the note 7 probably cost like double of what an iphone 6s+ cost to make/build!
It has premiuim build and materials, glass and hard to master curves, it has a wacom digitizer and a Spen, a 5.7" QHD screen, it has a waterproof body, it has lots of sensors and bells and whistles, it has much higher specs/components, etc...
So in my opinion, even if resale value is much lower on samsung side, I would feel happy to pay 750$ for a phone like the note 7 while feeling super stupid to pay that amount for an ip6s+!
I'm just getting way more for my money, and in other words, getting robbed way less.
