Are you surprised? Chip shortage + Sony brand tax.
Ironically, it is cheaper to buy an iPhone unless you buy the Pro versions. iPhones retain their resale value quite well, unlike Android phones, and especially Sony Xperia phones.
In any case, the hype will mostly die off when the new Xperia phones are finally available. Sony has learnt nothing.
There's a chip shortage...but no shortage of smartphone SoCs. Xperia tax, rather, because Sony cameras, headphones, most TVs except the flagships...seem to have reasonable pricing, within their respective markets. And this still seems shockingly high, even with Xperia tax.
