The TI 84+ is the great descendant of the TI-82 which was alway in the shadow of its older brother, the TI-85, over time it has somehow stayed relevant by adding small improvements like finance and statistics apps (83), flashable apps to expand capabilities, color, python programing, but at the end of the day, 86 was superior to the 83, 89 was superior to the 83+, 89 titanium was superior to 83 silver edition and so forth with the 84 facing the nspire series. It was born in the position of second place in its own family.
