An Apple store found a new low recently when a Sydney, Australia father was not able to purchase an item because the Apple staffer would only process his payment using Apple pay. In a move the buyer recounts as being 'stupidity', a staff member repeatedly tried to get the customer onto Apple pay instead of just processing the payment for the item. Things went downhill after the staffer asked the customer if he had an iPhone. The customer got the impression that he would need to use the Apple Pay app to buy what he wanted, when what he really needed was to pay and leave. After trying, and failing, to find a staff member who would just process his payment, the customer left the store, walked across the street, and purchased the same item from a JB Hi Fi store.

A Galaxy Note 9 is £1100, an iphone xs is £1450 -- both 512GB.
Not an enourmous amount in it.

Just one is 25% more than the other.
In case you haven't noticed, 25% on a price is a significant discount/increase.

But it's not 3 times the price.
People tend to compare iphones with crappy cheap androids (the type that give android a bad name).
