To me the latest iPhone (xs) doesn’t have any feature that warrants such a price bump. I got an iPhone 7+ 128gb for AUD 1429 when it launched. The XS 256gb is $1879. I got one for my wife only because I had a gift card for a few hundred bucks. It’s a great phone, but not worth the $450 price bump for me.
If Apple bumps the storage on the base model to 128gb and drops the price by a hundred bucks, I’ll pick up this years phone on launch day. But I don’t see that happening.
- speeq 8y agoiPhones have yearly release cycles. Just buy the XS in around 12 months for a major discount. It'll still be a top-notch phone with one of the most efficient processors out there.

- hnra 8y agoThe iPhone 7 still sells for $500 (release price $700) in my country at least. The XS will be out of production before it drops to a reasonable price.
- Karupan 8y agoI don’t see that happening as the iPhone 7+ costs $1100. The price had fallen just $330 in more than two years. Not a considerable fall if you ask me.
