Yeah if you want a flagship, that's how they get you. You can also get pretty decent phones for a few hundred on eBay. Like a couple year old flagship for less than half the original price. But if you're adamant about having the latest and greatest, you have no one to blame but yourself.
Shit, just go to Google and you can get last year's pixel for like $500 new.
Or you can buy the newest at sticker initially, and when the next model drops, sell it to family for half price as lightly used. Rinse and repeat. They get bargains phones, you get the latest tech.
