Used Cars That Are Cheaper Than The 2TB iPhone Duo - Jalopnik

Apple’s $3,199 2TB iPhone “Duo” is starting to look expensive compared with used cars, according to Jalopnik. The article argues that, with higher gas prices contributing to inflation and tighter household budgets, some buyers may be surprised that a top-tier smartphone can cost in the same range as a vehicle that can transport them daily. Jalopnik points out that shoppers can find used models from Mercedes, Volvo, Ford, or BMW for under the $3,200 mark. It frames the comparison as perspective on depreciation: which purchase holds value—and which simply loses it immediately after purchase.
