Actually I "lost" my iPhone yesterday for about 12 hours, founding by pinging it from my Apple Watch when I go home. In the meantime I looked on line thinking I might be on the market and found the iPhone with the biggest memory is $1449.00.
Ye gads.
Yep....top of the line phones are nuts too. That's 4-5X what I've ever spent on one, but I buy my phones like I buy my cars......couple years/generations old and drive/use them as long as I can, then sell them to minimize the cost of what is ultimately a depreciating asset.
And to your (assumed) point, of course the most expensive electric vehicles range from $300K to over $1M. So you can see why your comparison with even a $1,500 phone and tossing them aside after a few years was a poor one unless you literally have money to burn.
