There are many stuff becoming way too overpriced these days, and one main example of this is phones. Have you ever noticed how the number for the price of phones is rapidly increasing? Many people are really getting frustrated by how much these phones are costing, and many people are planning not to upgrade their phones because of the overpricing of the new phones.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first person I decided to interview is a student athlete at Lowery Middle School, Mirna Badran. Mirna is really into technology and is really anxious to see the new phones every year. Mirna stated \u201cNew phones are getting over priced, but they should be because they have new features every time they come out.\u201d The new phones coming out these days are all around a thousand dollars, and Mirnas thoughts on that were \u201cI wouldn’t buy a phone that costs around 1000 dollars \u00a0because I could easily get a older cheaper phone such as the Iphone 7 with the same features as the Iphone 8 and it’s just less money.\u201d As of right now Mirna owns a Iphone 7 Plus and plays 32 dollars monthly for the phone. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another person I decided to interview is a student athlete at Fordson High School, Jaafar Beydoun. Jaafar really Isn\u2019t really into advanced technology, as much as other people are. Jaafar stated \u201c I believe phones are getting way too overpriced.\u201d He also continued on speaking about the new phones costing around a 1000 dollars and said \u201cI believe some phones should cost that much depending on the quality the phone has.\u201d \u00a0As of right now Jaafar Beydoun owns a Iphone 6s and he bought it for 600 dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also decided to interview a student at Unis Middle School named Alyssa Haidar. \u00a0Alyssa is a really high class girl, and likes everything very high class and pricey. Alyssa stated \u201c I believe new phones are getting overpriced.\u201d We also continued about speaking how phones these days cost around a thousand dollars her comment on that was \u201cI would most likely buy a phone for that much if it looked cool and had nice features.\u201d As of right now Alyssa owns a Iphone 7 Plus she bought it for 800 dollars<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

All in all, I believe many phone companies are not going to have as many people buy their brand new phones as fast as people use to buy them, because they are too expensive now. Many people are complaining that phones are becoming way too overpriced, and that their not adding many features their new phones. \"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
