Because he gets paid for his opinions on Apple, while his detractors in here are not. And because people take account of his opinions, which can not be said for those of his detractors.

In a way it was already reduced ... when I got my X it was the first time I saw an iPhone with over 50% in rebates / credits ($650 total). I think Apple figured out quickly that $1000 for a base model was a bridge too far.
No new iPhones were mentioned today during the keynote...

Fake News!!
It's good that Apple will make a big flagship iPhone again for those who want it. But what was special last year is it was the first time in years that Apple made a "normal" size phone with all the bells and whistles. I was getting really tired of a getting a second rate camera since I didn't want an iPhone Plus, and I happily upgraded to the X this spring.
I hope that Cook doesn't remove features from the standard sized OLED iPhone this year, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a stunt to try and force users to the Plus again.
(LOL a bit since the definition of a "normal" sized phone keeps getting bigger ...)

I really hope that Cook doesn't remove features (such as the dual camera) to justify the X price drop and/or push buyers to the more expensive 6.5" OLED model. At least so far the rumors are that this will not happen.

Of course there wen't new iPhones today, lol.
As for fake news, do you think Apple will release an iPhone X Plus starting at $1200?
Ah, the oft-hyped Ming-chi Kuo has returned. Is he really any more accurate in his predictions than your average run-of-the-mill tech rumor prognosticator? Who knows? Nobody’s actually done a proper comparative analysis. He sure does make certain that the rumor sites say how great he is when they repeat his predictions, though. Say how great he is every time, and everyone will remember when he’s right, forget when he’s wrong, and perception becomes reality.
Can't wait to ditch my X for a new X. Smallest available please. I got one of the first X's available and it scratched up horribly (front only) in the first two months. Worse than the three year old 6 Plus it was replacing. Really quite defective.
I didn't feel like battling Apple about it as I saw they were deleting threads in their own forums from other angry early adopters like myself, so I've just kept it and dealt with it. Be gone, old X.
PS It does piss me off that the price is dropping considering what a piece of junk the front screen is on this. Oh well.

OT, but I think it's Flash Gordon, a really cheesy 80's sci-fi flick"The return of Ming!" Wasn't that a Buck Rogers Episode?
To each their own but I use my phone at least five times as much as I watch tv. Spending more on a phone is the best place to spend it for myself
