Leaked Snapdragon 875 pricing implies next-gen flagships will be even more expensive

2020 flagships have been incredibly expensive, in part due to the high cost of the Snapdragon 865. It seems things aren't going to get any better either, as new information claims the Snapdragon 875 will be over 50% costlier than the already pricey Snapdragon 865.

2017: What the f***, 999$ for phone? Apple are you serious?!
2021: iPhones are now in budget category, Qualcomm stock prices skyrockets.

Doesn't the 875 use 5nm and have the modem on die with the rest of the SoC?

Good Luck people are already shying away from phones over $1,000!!!!

Why is snapdragon still the only option for android?  Surely some other chip maker can make mobile phone processors

This x1000. Sick of this s***. Looks like my next device will have either a Mediatek or HiSilicon chipset in it, because I am not funding this bullshit anymore.
