I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

I guess with all things, depends on the financial position of the customer.

If you're stretching yourself to get any phone, then yeah, diminishing returns for forking out $800+ for a flagship.

That being said I've owned multiple phones in each price category, and can say that the best phones are unfortunately among the most expensive.

I've owned phones across all price ranges and had a different experience.

Don't get the cheapest one, but a used Pixel or OnePlus that's 2 years old works the same way as the newest Galaxy 12345.
