That can't be right. The last phone I bought (Xiaomi Mi 9) only cost me $600nzd and that's the most expensive phone I've bought.

And it's so powerful it still does everything I need years later.

Are normal people actually utilising phone specs these days? Sure some people game but surely everyone else is barely using the CPU etc

For me, the cameras are the main reason to go with a flagship phone.

Exactly. The camera is the only thing I will care about N years down the line when I look at pictures from past phones. It's a realization I've had only somewhat recently ~1-2 years ago.

The camera modules are commodity, the main distinction is in quality of lenses and the processing software.
