I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

    I have found that most mid tier phones and high end ones are pretty similar in practical performance and use. Even cheap phones around 300 or 200$ are pretty good nowadays and there’s not much of a reason to get a really expensive one anymore. Expensive Phones simply haven’t innovated much in the last couple years while cheap phones have gotten better and better, which is why phone sales are at a 10 year low right now.

      My super phone is excellent and does everything I expect it to. My roommates’s cheap phone somehow has worse versions of each app we install. He had to find something very specific to cast to the Roku. The type c to HDMI adapter does nothing with his phone. For some reason a mech game we play straight up wouldn’t let him use certain core features until half a year later. Also for some damn reason, texts barely make it through to his phone. I gotta hit ‘switch to SMS/MMS’ all the time after sending him something that fails to send.
