almost like a toyota, outdated and often too expensive for what it can do but will last forever.

too expensive for what it can do but will last forever

As far as I'm concerned, this is contradictory; if something is going to last forever, and not ridiculously overpriced, then it's worth the premium.

i think it's worth the price, but some people don't think as far. they just compare specs and say "this chinesium phone scores 2 points better in some benchmark and costs 200€" not knowing why it's that cheap in the first place. old toyotas are still worth something for a reason.

I mean, they're not even that expensive to begin with.

Agreed. They're statement was very subjective, so it's kind of hard to argue with that metric.
