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.

100% the other way around for me. My phone is the one thing I own, I use the most. To have a more fluid experience is worth a couple of hundred dollars. The hourly price difference is minuscule.

Yeah, it's subjective.

I have found that most mid tier phones and high end ones are pretty similar in practical performance and use. Even cheap phones around 300 or 200$ are pretty good nowadays and there's not much of a reason to get a really expensive one anymore. Expensive Phones simply haven't innovated much in the last couple years while cheap phones have gotten better and better, which is why phone sales are at a 10 year low right now.
