Got you . I’ve always considered the top tier to be say 7, With the plus being a bigger size but not more premium product . Though if one views the plus as a higher tier, that makes sense.
Got a tip for us?

It's totally worth the money. Not even close.
There are things that are far more expensive on a per use basis. How about that $400 blender for smoothies? Or that panini maker?
ha, I'd never be crazy enough to use the included charger. I've used a wired Anker 24w 2.4a charger for years. And that included piece of garbage charger is so slow to charge I'd hardly brag about "wireless" (And its hardly wireless based on the stupid wire still connecting to the charging pad) being as fast as that POS included 5w charger.
And let's also consider the loss of energy via wireless charging inefficiency. It's hardly good for the environment when multiplied over millions of iPhones the loss in energy. Seriously, it's ridiculous easy to plug in a lighting port jack, this wireless thing is silly.
Oleds suck, they have screen burn in after a year. Just had my Note 8 screen exchanged under warranty from burn in just from watching YouTube videos. I will make sure to never buy a oled TV either.

People who throw money on stupid stuff like that are typically broke. Me and my wife both make very good money and we invest it in building a nice new house and other investments, not silly junk. Same goes with alot of the luxury car buyers, majority of them are broke and up to their eyeballs in debt.
RE: "iPhone XR pre-orders begin Friday, October 19 in more than 50 countries, followed by in-store availability on Friday, October 26."
NO ONE should be surprised if AAPL announces a "Single Lens Version" of the XS on Oct 18th, @ $899.
It's the common sense thing for AAPL to do.
OLED + 4 GB of DRAM = your Next-Gen, High-End SE !

Another fellow Anker fan!! =)
Lol, just ordered another PowerPort... the one w/ USB-C PD. LOVE that charger.
When I got my iPhone X, I got a cheap, but nice quality wireless charger from RAVPOWER... more to stem my curiosity than anything.
I fully admit that it’s a poor replacement for high-speed wired charging- the relatively low charge to try it out was worth the convenience factor of just tossing my phone down on my desk occasionally during the day, at times that the battery isn’t low & I never would’ve even considered plugging it in- I’ve just noticed that means I usually leave the house with it “topped off”. Kinda fun & handy! Lol, hope you don’t mind me playing devil’s advocate a bit...
IMO, at this point- any big move to wireless chargers is both a money sink, and a detriment to utilization of rapid charging technology... but, if you find a quality (Anker & the like) one in the sub $35 range, it may be worth it DESPITE the much slower charge times!
Red and gold proved to be very popular , the Samsung s6 iron man edition was very popular in China . That was actually a very cool limited edition.
We'll see if the delayed XR missed out on sales during the Golden Week of Oct.
If it doesn't, I would be very surprised.
I bought an iP7 from Sam's Club and I was required to do the installment plan by Verizon.
It is a serious problem in this country where individuals are not fiscally responsible with their own money and that includes those who are on welfare collecting benefits.
The red is beautiful
and the phone is ...
expensive
So if the camera does the portrait,
what is better on the dual camera?
That you can close up?

stroking a phone in public? What can go wrong

He's the most accurate, and has an 8+ Year record of giving us reliable leaks. You guys ridiculed his predictions time and time again only to discover he was spot on.
Average income is a misleading number, since a lot of people in rural areas of China are in utter poverty, bringing the average way down.
The target market is not the whole of the 1+ billion people of China. The target market is the middle class and up, with the middle class representing over 30% of the population.
So while the target market in China is a fraction of the overall Chinese population, we are still talking about a number that compares against the entirety of the population of the US of A.
For example, right now, China is the second biggest market in the world for spending on movie entertainment. They are a significantly bigger market than any EU nation or England, despite China’s reputation for bootlegging. The new middle (and upper) class in China is spending money like mad.

Dunno about whole year data but 1st quarter data had the 7 Plus outselling the 7.
There are lots of sales analyses out there which often get a very good estimate of unit sales, per model line.
No there aren’t. They are guessing. You have no clue how good they are or how often they are right, by definition, because it’s unknown.
I follow Apple more closely than most analysts covering it.
You can't have it both ways. I wasn't the person who initially brought up unit sales. You were suggesting that the 7 outsold the 7 Plus, but I don't see that posted officially anywhere. Also my point about the 7 Plus outselling the 7 was for a single quarter.
You are free to post your analysis of 7 / 7 Plus unit sales by the way.

I don’t have it both ways. I’m basing what I said on what Tim Cook said on an earnings call.
