I think they made the iphone x too expensive on purpose because they ran into manufacturing problems and couldn't get enough units made. Next year with the manufacturing kinks worked out we should expect a cheaper iphone x.
Got a tip for us?

Not being happy about the widening disparity of storage is understandable. With the unveiling of the phones, what is done is done. Complaining about today's phone doesn't change the storage of today. All people can do, is vote with the wallet, or contact Apple and complain.
I am not always happy with Apple. And I am not crazy about the pricing. However, I don't see a point in me creating a thread saying look at me I am mad because I can't afford product "x."
We also have people complain about the new phone features when they haven't even tried them. And in the same breath complain about price. And it doesn't seem to occur to some here, that there is a big disconnect in the purchase thinking. It is much easier to blame Apple when the problem is inward.
If one wants to make the value for the money debate, that is logical and I can get behind that. At the same time, that discussion is subjective, for all intent and purposes.
And for status symbol, I think we may have a lot of school aged members here, and or a lot of adults acting wth that type of mentality.
I was raised to be thankful for what I had, and not complain when I didn't have what someone else had etc. And it does rub me the wrong way a lot, to see the kind of comments and threads I have seen since the keynote.
Then knowing the price in Lao Kip is 8,342,339.36LAK will put you six feet under.
You're trying to hard to be noticed. As usual.
Since the X requires attention to unlock, commuting will get a bit more interesting.
Could someone please speak to the speed of wireless charging? I assume it's not as fast as wired. Is there much of a difference?

Too pricey for me. I personally don’t finance phones, but if you did at $50 month plus $75-$90 for an unlimited plan, you are spending a ridiculous amount on a phone. I think you can lease a Honda Civic for that much money.
This has me concerned as well. People stare too much at their phone as is while driving, thinking they are the exceptions to the rule who can handle it. Now, we require them to gaze lovingly into their phone or it won't unlock...while driving... That could turn into a interesting legal precedent, introducing technology that forces the driver to take his/her eyes off the road.
All in all, a real solid lineup. Quality products and prices for everybody.
I keep saying that the iPhone line up is wayyy to fragmented. Maybe next year they'll just move forward with a single iPhone and the 4.7 and 5.5 phones will fall to the waste side. But I won't hold my breath.
I'm trying to understand how you rationalize the 6S, with it's two year old technology, as being than all 5 iPhones that have come after it...

To present a valid comparison, you must include gasoline costs and insurance for your fossil-fuel burning, earth-destroying, murder-machine, since you are tossing in "75-90 for an unlimited plan," to be fair. You cannot drive a car without gasoline and insurance.
Also financing a car and financing a phone are not the same. You are buying the phone with "financing;" the phone company is just giving you 2 years of 0 percent interest. When leasing a car, you are renting the use of something which isn't yours and has ro be returned at the end. So your comparison totally fails on all levels, even if it was true that a Honda Civic could be rented for $145/month (no idea if this is true.)
Better suggestion: if you lived somewhere desirable, and with public transportation, you wouldn't have to waste half your life driving a honda Civic to and fro, poisoning the earth, filling your tank with gasoline, buying car insurance, and leasing automobiles, and you could instead purchase desirable products like the iPhone X.
Also, if you have friends or a family, you need not pay $90/month for cellular service. The price of cellular service is also irrelevant to a discussion of the Phone. Presumably you were not just going to go without cellular service if you didn't buy the Iphone X, amirite? Right.
Fingerprint sensors don't work for a lot of people (5-10%), and I'm one. Guess I'd be lucky if I were a burglar, but it's been an annoying few years with iPhones. I'm excited about FaceID.
Touch ID is the worst. Works about 1 in 4 times. I could put in my password in that much time.
I didn't create the thread bro...it's here. And there is nothing wrong with voicing an opinion and/or voting with one's wallet. If you don't feel like chatting about it, don't post on a forum...I didn't complain about any features (other than the old tired ones of storage levels and their corresponding prices). And, yes, I have tried diff storage levels. I'm sorry I offended you. All I meant was that some features make total sense to charge out the wazoo for, like OLED. But others, like a handful of storage gigs, are becoming more absurd nowadays than they were a couple of years ago.
The very fact that Apple is currently selling ten different iPhone models show how Tim Cook lost all kind of perspective. He really needs to put his **** together.
Guys, it's the ****ing Gil Amelio era all over again. And Tim, asking those insane prices when the bar on the software side has been lower than ever? Gtfo
