Democrat President Joe Biden is set to give his second State of the Union address as Commander in Chief of the United States on Tuesday evening before a joint session of Congress. The speech, set to begin at 9 p.m. ET, is Biden’s third address to a joint session of Congress, having given a first one in 2021, then his first State of the Union address in 2022. Now, he gives his second such address–an annual tradition for presidents speaking in the U.S. House chamber before Senators, House members, members of the Cabinet, and members of the U.S. Supreme Court. Biden’s address comes at a particularly fraught time for his presidency, just days after a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spy balloon floated across the continental United States before the president ordered it shot down when it had moved off the South Carolina coast in the Atlantic Ocean.

In brief: Even when adjusting for inflation, the prices of today's high-end iPhones are much higher than they were over a decade ago—by 66%, in the case of the most expensive model. But CEO Tim Cook thinks that's okay because people are willing to pay more to "get the best." Insider notes that when the iPhone 3G and 3GS launched in 2009, the latter model with its maximum storage and no contract cost $699, or $962 when adjusting for inflation. That's a lot less than the top-specced iPhone 14 Pro Max, which, when bought with 1TB of storage, costs $1,600, or 66% more than the iPhone 3GS. The publication writes that prices have been on the rise for years; Apple has often been accused of increasing the cost of its products at a higher rate than inflation. The iPhone X's $1,149 launch price would make it around $1,376 today, though one exception was the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which sold for $1,399—$100 less than the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Paying $1,000 or more for a product is a … [Read more...] about Flagship iPhone prices have jumped 66% since 2009, but Tim Cook says people are happy to pay more for “the best”
