$749 Apple iPhone XR / XS / XS Max $999 $1099

2,435 283 September 12, 2018 at 01:06 PM in Computers (11) Apple Store
Pre-order starts this Friday the 14th.

Can someone provide some cues for Apple? The biggest decline in the stock market is coming in as few as 6 months and the fallout will make 2009 looks like a Disney movie, yet AAPL is keeping the price the same as last year...

HAHAHAHHAAH!!!

The iPhone X has been killed off by Apple. It won't be sold by them anymore, except maybe refurbished.


I think part of the problem was the price point. The standard Apple move is to drop the old model by $100 when the new phones are announced. That would put the X at $899. That's the same price as the Xs and no one would buy an X when you can get the new Xs for the same price. If they dropped the price $200 to $799 then the 5.8" X is more expensive than the new 6.1" Xr and again few people would buy it. Not to mention the lowered profit margin with a $200 drop. I think they decided it made more sense just to drop the X from the lineup and stop making it.


I assume they still have X units in stock, so it should be interesting to see what they do with them. My guess is they will eventually appear as refurbished, but who knows what the price will be.

this is what happens when they think they can charge anything they want. its ridiculous pricing. time to think about switching. were talking MacBook Pro money here. theyre probably making close to a grand on the XS max

X was a disaster to start with
Returned it very first day for 8+
Even 7+ had better feel

Now xs max looks good at 6.5inch
Always wanted Note size but not Samsung

Do you think XSmax would be better than Moto Z2?

I didn't buy an X. I actually switched to Android. But the X was very profitable for them. And it was a very good business move for them. They would be stoopid to price their new flagship device lower.

Is this a good time to buy a Apple Series 3 Used, since the hardcore fans will need to move to series 4?

I really want to try out the cellular capability and see if it adds any value at all. Otherwise, I've no interest in the series 3.
