60 Hz in 2024 is crazy, aside from the fact that iPhones have been the same for the past 6 generations.

iPhone Pro has been 120Hz for a while now. Also ~~bigger base level storage and~~ USB. If you want the fancy specs you get the fancier phone.

Just stating we shouldn’t have to pay over $1000 usd to get a 120hz display. This doesn’t justify it when you can buy phones with high refresh rate for $300

So buy the $300 phone! If the iPhone isn’t your cup of tea you don’t have to buy it. You’ll sacrifice some stuff to get the price point that low, but if they’re things you don’t want or need, awesome!

That Xperia 1 iii pictured? $1300 new in 2021.

both 16 and 16 pro have 128 GB base storage

I stand corrected.

That said, if you up the price to match the pictured Xperia 1 iii ($1300 when new in 2021), the iPhone Pro (13 in 2021) will have 512GB (256GB for the Pro Max at $1200). Fancy price for a fancy phone.

At the end of the day people should just buy whatever phone fits their needs and their wallets, and let others do the same. Android phones are great. iPhones are great. We’re living in the future and other than the dystopian tendencies, it’s pretty awesome.
