$350 gets you a 6 years old phone design, an iPhone 5 with better internals.
$700 gets you a 4 years old phone design, an iPhone 6 with better internals.
$1000 gets you a brand new iPhone.
I got a Sony XZ1 Compact for €500 and it works the same or better than an iPhone.
What's wrong with the "6 year old design"? All phones since the original iPhone are basically a slab of glass with improved intervals and different size screens.
I have a larger phone but the larger screen doesn't actually help me as far as usability. I use my phone for typing email and messages because it's better for one hand use. But I'm quick to grab my iPad given a choice.
I've used mostly Android phones in the past I was trying to decide whether to get the Z5 Compact or finally try Apple with the iPhone SE. After nearly a year with my first iPhone I'm ready to switch back. How has your experience been with that phone?
Well, you can get an iPhone 6S for ~€500 (actually 5% more). That's not 4y old, it was officially released less than two years prior to the XZ1.
Not that I'd recommend getting one. iPhones have never been the best bang for buck product, especially not the substantially older but barely cheaper older models. But you're exaggerating a bit here.
This is a silly comment, to distinguish between the "design" (by which I assume you mean what it looks like) and the "internals" (how it works). In any practical sense, a phone with new internals is a new phone.
And people say that Apple fans are too sensitive to how things look...
What is the iPhone 8, but an iPhone original with better internals? The design differences are negligible at best. The iPhone X is the first deviation from the basic design.
This is just rubbish from developers that don't know what they are doing. I run Sublevel on a $5 VPS from DigitalOcean. Guess what, I optimized it to run smoothly in any situation.

lol what? The latest Safari version on Windows is 5.x and isn't even distributed officially by Apple anymore. And Safari is a bit more than just Webkit.
> That's not a problem
Yes it is.Without a mac, one can't test websites on Safari.
There’s no display with infinite contrast. #000 and #FFF are some sort of gray on any display. If you lower the display brightness to save battery life, high contrast is the only thing that works OK.
