There are thousands of people out there asking if all apple users lost their mind when someone says he is going to buy the iPhone X. If this isn't enough, also buying the 256GB version with additional apple care. But why are people doing that? Are they rich? Do they want to be "cool"? What is the main reason to spend an an average monthly salary on a phone?
So let me explain my point of view..
For me as a young guy the smartphone is the most important thing in my daily life. We, the young generation, use our smartphones the whole day. Checking mails, keeping in touch with friends, organizing ourselfes, exploring the internet and using it for chillout and coming down. So it isn't just one single device for a single task. It is an universal devices for nearly doing everything in the digital world.
Second - it is a tool for me as a marketeer. I can solve problems of my customers, stay in touch with them and of course keep my social media on track.
One of the main reasons why I think 1548€ for the iPhone X isn't that much is the fact that reselling an iPhone is easy. You're losing much less than reselling an android device. So I would say a year after buying it for the full price you can sell it for 3/5 of the original price. Putting this in relation to the fact that I am using it the whole day - everyday, shows that this is a good ratio. In my opinion.
Last thing - you're maybe wondering why I am going to add apple care on top for 229€. Think about carrying around a phone worth 1300€ the whole day - it gives me a) a much better feeling and b) I can easily get a 24hour replacement in case of problems. Also when I drop this phone. You don't want to pay the original price for a display-repair at apple
One thing you might keep in mind while grumbling on apples price policy - well this phone is highly overbred. So powerful, so modern and of course a view into the future of smartphones.
just my 2 cents I wanted to share with you
