ok, so spouse got his iPhone X last night and loves it! He’s happy it fits in his jeans—sideways! The iP6s+ on eBay!
 
So my iPhone 6s Plus was $949 at full retail, and my iPhone X is $999. Nobody freaked out about the price when I got the 6s Plus, but they think an extra $50 is unconscionable. Sigh.

Tons of people complain about the Apple tax for extra GB storage. You're trying to justify the iPhone X price by comparing it to the maxed out storage models of older iPhones. Saying the iPhone X is only $50 more than last year's model is just plain false.

Yes but $130 extra isn’t exactly breaking the bank.

Ok, so my 6s Plus was 128gb at $949, and I’m paying $50 more for 64gb less storage. Fine, I’m getting less for more if storage is my only consideration (it’s not my only consideration: I think the changes/improvements/differences are worth the extra cash, and at these prices, it’s not a whole lot more). Whatever...sorry for being just plain false. 🙄
