Aaaaaggaga! My parents were going to name me that but didn’t want to seem lazy so went with Aaron instead.
Nah... the A12 isn't much faster as tests have already proven. RAM isn't expensive, Androids pack 6G easily. There's improvements in the XS, yes, but computing power/performance practically didn't improve.Because the components may fit into the same area but they aren’t the same technology. The CPU is a new and much more powerful chip, the A12-(link). In addition, there is more ram available to this years model than to last years, and memory seems to be an expensive addition for any brand of phone, Apple included.

So... Except for the CPU upgrade, the Xs is last year's technology and design. Can someone please explain to me why the price of the phone hasn't gotten cheaper?

Well, you kinda explained why it's not cheaper. The cost differential (from the consumers standpoint) for a generational upgrade of CPU/GPU has always been $100.So... Except for the CPU upgrade, the Xs is last year's technology and design. Can someone please explain to me why the price of the phone hasn't gotten cheaper?
Yeah that's why I don't want to get my devices repaired by people that aren't Apple, I want the glue on right, though I think you can purchase replacement adhesive online like you would other partsI have no issues with taking apart every iPhone till 7...But now the amount of glue is staggering. Its really had to put it back without the new parts as have no idea what glue are they using
If they took out the Taptic Engine, cameras, sensors, and some other parts, there'd be more room for a bigger battery.
If it's a single cell then it's not a battery.
Touch ID would take up less space and possibly remove the notch.
They've always presented battery capacity in terms of time in marketing materials. I don't think I've ever seen anything official from Apple stating battery capacity in mAh for any product.That's why they've changed the way they presented it. Talking about time and not capacity, I was 100% sure something fishy is going on! AND HERE WE ARE!

Totally agree. I love my X, but everyone kept saying it was a beta device lolI think it’s a testament to how good the iPhone X truly was last year..
There is a reason Apple didn’t sell it for 899.99 along side the 2018 offerings lol
No one would have bought the XS.
We have to use new sealant as to prevent water getting inside (IP67). Unless you use the sealant, the phone won't be water resistant after the re-assembly. All the iPhones (6s and prior) are not water resistant.I have no issues with taking apart every iPhone till 7...But now the amount of glue is staggering. Its really had to put it back without the new parts as have no idea what glue are they using
Two weeks ago the X cost $999.
Can someone please explain how this new phone has a new processor, upgraded camera, more RAM, stronger glass, faster LTE, some other minor improvements... And is the same price?
Totally agree. I love my X, but everyone kept saying it was a beta device lol
