considering the iPhone X didn't have a single standout feature over the smartphone market it's reasonable for people to criticise the price of $1000, even apple realized that's not a viable strategy and released the XR at $750 as to avoid losing all of their customers with those exuberant prices offering little more than camera upgrades and meaningless changes avg consumers can't notice.
the avg person will tell you they don't know why the X is better it just looks more futuristic and that's why apple sells it for $1000.
- overcast 8y agoWell, X was lightyears better than my aging 6s. Is there a major leap year to year to justify the cost? Of course not. Is everyone upgrading year to year? Of course not. I'm not trying to justify a $1000 phone, but Apple hardware has always been more expensive than the sum of its parts.
