Almost a thousand dollars for 256gb has to be a joke.

Also valid for the Amazon Store Card (non-Visa). There's a $120 sign-up bonus today; the gift card and credit card were automatically added to my account on approval.

Yup! And they're only going to keep getting more expensive as components themselves keep increasing in cost. I'm keeping my S23 ultra for as long as I can.

Lucky you! I got the offer but when I applied got the dreaded "we need to further review your account" message which evidently can take them weeks to resolve. I already have a Chase card with a $80K credit limit lol! If anyone else is looking to do the same I would click the link a couple down from the apply button to verify you are preapproved before getting the hard pull on your credit report. I'd have jumped on this deal for sure but guess I'll wait for BF.

I believe we will have better deals for Black Friday, it was $800 on mint if you purchased it with the $180 1 year unlimited plan.

I couldn't put up with 60 days of crap service to wait for unlock, nor could I waste $180 on the unusable plan.
I also did 4 Spectrum S26U deals with 60 days of Verizon service for $330ea including the Walmart Moto G purchase for trade in.

Thanks to Apple, and Samsung following Apple's lead with planned obsolescence to fleece (extract maximum capital from) the consumer sheep.

Now we either pay more upfront for usable storage, or we pay again much sooner to "upgrade" to a device with sufficient storage.

It's wild that budget laptops frequently included a 1TB HDD 15+ years ago (like my old reliable $500 Acer), and now $1000+ base model MacBooks come with only 256GB - a crime against humanity!

Late stage capitalism sux.

We have phones that have more power than government computers of 20 years ago.

We also have many more options than we did.

Just because you are in the small majority that even consider those things as a loss, doesn't mean that capitalism sucks.

Nothing in the description says it's new. You can get a mint unlocked one for $850 on swappa.
