Looking forward to getting an X.... in 2020

It’s not illegal to frighten somebody’s gran into paying 5 times the actual price of a boiler repair either but it’s morally wrong.

I’d much rather Apple pay their fair share of tax and that goes for every company rather than starving our economy of billions of pounds.

I don’t take a lenient view when Apple are charging £300 more for the iPhone than in other countries. Apple are not a charity I agree, but they need us more than we need them, fact.

Would, should and could are something that you can’t count as realistic. If and when the laws change, every company will have to deal with it and Apple will also follow suit. It’s not a conspiracy. Everyone tries to save as much possible from their tax money. It is just human nature. It has been happening from the beginning of the whole tax system and it will continue in the future.

It depends on the locale for sure. I’m in London and in my circle a lot of people have bought the X.

I’m not sure why London would be any different but who knows?

I'm looking forward to getting the X in 2020, when that beautiful design is closer to affordability (< $550).

I would love to have more gestures and no home button.....

Keeping the 7 I just got for ~3 years.

Why does the gestural interface of the X have to cost $999? It's really great....

You never know, bro. Apple might just add it on a future software update for older iPhones.

If not, I'm cool with iOS10 forever. Gesture swipes is the only reason I would sacrifice my SE's battery life and update it to iOS11.

I think probably because people in London generally earn more than average and also the lifestyle is very different compared to the other parts of the country.

True but in my personal experience that isn’t the factor. My family and friends pretty much all have well paid jobs so disposable income isn’t tight. Out of all my friends I’d say those with the least disposable income live in London and due to the high cost of living. I’ve never seen the attraction of London myself, but people from there will always have a different opinion there.
