Apple CEO Tim Cook Says Financing iPhone X Can Work Out to Cost of Just a Few Nice Coffees Per Week

If I had saved up the cost of every single coffee I had drunk in my life...
I wouldn't be able to buy anything because I can't stand the bloody stuff.

Nah, just keep drinking "nice" coffee along with your iPhone 6S, it works just fine. Problem solved-er.
Are you for real?
iPhone 6s is old and decrepit now. It's time for you to hop on for an upgrade if you are still on that slow train.
Yep. Getting coffee from a store every morning is really expensive. That's why I don't do it. And why that comparison isn't going to motivate me to buy a $1200 phone. I'll stick with my 3-year-old iPhone 6+ (which cost me only $300 thanks to a very attractive trade-in offer from Verizon at the time) until it dies. And then I'll see what I can actually afford to buy.
Why? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. My 6+ makes calls, sends texts, takes great pictures and runs all the apps I want to run. So why bother replacing it?
If giving up overpriced coffee is too much to ask of a person, that person has serious issues and should see a doctor.
Let's be real. Nobody has got themselves into serious debt problems by buying a few iPhones.
They must have been getting a lot of flak about the high pricing if he's felt the need to break it down and justify it like this.
Or how about you don't tell people how to spend their own hard earned money?
Well, to be fair, if you’re spending $3 a day on coffee, you should probably be making it at home for a few cents a cup. Then go buy an iPhone X
I can't think of any decent coffee that would cost "a few cents a cup". Sure, it's not $3-$4 a cup like Starbucks, but even our coffee, which is $10 a 1lb bag, lasts about a week per bag, each day is 2 mugs worth (1 cup of beans). So 14 mugs per $10 bag is about 70 cents per mug. Still considerable savings over Starbucks and ours tastes better!
Your taste in coffee is akin to someone who prefers feature phones. Are you over 80?
The iPhone X can take vastly superior photos. It can do AR. It has better battery life, a better screen, can handle all that iOS 11 can throw at it, and has better security with Face ID. We shouldn't ignore iPhone X is breathtakingly gorgeous too.
Yeah your iPhone 6s is pretty much the same as my iPhone X.
Wanna trade?
Why is it if it still does everything you need?
There's a company on the internet who are still selling them and you can also buy them from a lot of high street retailers, are they crazy too?
I know a few people that make more money than God, and to be honest, they don't work very hard. Smart, yes. Hard, no.
Why? My 6+ is even older and it's fine. It's just a phone.

You really can't drink coffee with you 6S-- it is not waterproof.
The iPhone X should come with a Starbucks Coffee lockscreen picture, so those giving up their daily Starbucks can still feel that Starbucks love.
For me, I’d rather have an iPhone X and drink instant coffee everyday than having a feature phone with Starbucks everyday. Just personal preference.Your taste in coffee is akin to someone who prefers feature phones. Are you over 80?
Some people are a bit slow and need help breaking down what an iPhone X truly costs. I think it makes absolute sense to make it clear you are literally willing to piss away a few cups of coffee a week (ok, not you - maybe it's beer instead?) but unwilling to spend the same amount on an incredibly awesome iPhone X? That iPhone X will bring you absolute joy every day for years.
