And it's a phone. It'll last 3 years max (no pun intended), my 7 didn't last more than 18 months, because I dropped it several times.
Got a tip for us?

With "die"-hard Apple fans there is no line - https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-a...-teenager-sells-kidney-to-buy-ipad-and-iphone
And Apple knows this...
How about the iPhone Xr? It has an industry leading liquid crystal magic unicorn technology - a fresh departure from all those old CRT displays we’re used to seeing on low end $749 phones.
Yep. And the Xs should be $899 and the Xs Max $999
I agree but as long as there are enough people WILLING to spend, the price will continue to rise. Simple economics, decrease the demand and as the inventory goes up. the price will eventually drop.
watch was impressive. Xr should have been 650. XS 899.99 and XS Max 1049,. Base storage should be 128gb for the high end models.
I don't know about you guys but I didn't hear a peep about wireless charging. Could it be because they are dragging their feet on the wire charger that supposed to be released ions ago, and are sticking to the lame lightening connector to USB A cable with the limp 2.5amp charger? For $1100. Really?
Could we at least get a USB-C charger?

Can tell you exactly how they will react. They will hold on to their old phones for longer, Apple knows this hence todays play for pushing up the average selling price of an iPhone.
Fewer sales at higher average cost = happy Wall Street.
I'm holding out for the iPhone XXX, rumor is it will come with super vibrate mode.
Wait the charger isn't USB C? So I can't charge my phone on my laptop anymore?
Classic short term bean counter thinking. Works for a while and produces good figures but kills brands in the long term.
The lower power charging brick is genuinely pathetic at these price points. The value of the phones is subjective but they they deserve all the criticism they get for that kind of nickel and diming.
The cable I am seeing on their website is lightening to USB-A. Old version. Same old cheesy and underpowered wall plug. If you have a newer MacBook with USB-C, guess what?.... Dongle.
Wait until the phone stops working or can no longer able to update. I am still using i6 which still works fine so at some point, Apple will stop iOS updates which means my other apps won't work to well. For now, I don't need to get a new phone and purely an option for me to upgrade. I am only speaking for myself, however, others have different reason to upgrade or not to.
Yeah... That's the one thing that kind of bummed me out, but then I checked my iPhone storage. I only use 22GBs and that's with a bunch of apps that I don't use, so it looks like I'll be trading in my unlocked 64GB iPhone X for an unlocked 64GB iPhone Xs.
After the trade, it's only $474.
