There used to be stories of how some clowns sold their kidneys to buy iPhones.

This iPhone much more expensive, so need to sell sperm, sell kidney, sell corneas etc to get the money for it?

I paid full price for my iPhone without a subsidy from one of the telcos. Most Sporeans get their iPhones with a 2 year contract.
So they are not paying full price but subsidised price.

I find that if one has an iPhone you really need a contract because it can use a lot of data. I am using a prepay card & in 1 day it ca use $50 of data.

Yes I got my iPhone X on contract and then sold it off at about same price after using it for 9 months. Good deal!

Now downgraded to iPhone 6 on Jb phone company contract. Good phone too. Winner mentality indeed. So flexible to upgrade and downgrade.

I suspect Apple already concede defeat on the mobile phone war to the new Chinese brands are giving up on the middle market. For this kind of pricing they are targeting Chinese 土豪 and ultra Fanboys like Sam Leong.

why so costly ? what expensive parts in it or Apple just wants to sell it at high price ? should sell it at $1888 or $1999 to be auspicious.

Getting an iPhone is getting cutting a products with cutting edge technology.

Many only look price without considering what they are getting with the iPhone. iPhones are more secure than android phones. Update is also easier to do.

Apple is the 1st company to use 7 nanometer chips. Other companies are not using 7 nanometer chips because these chips are currently too expensive. Apple is also using their propriety A12 bionic chip which is more powerful than the competition.

Since when iPhones ever had cutting edge technology? For soo long their specs has always been way behind compared to flagship android. N now many consumers have voted with their wallets going for mid range phones for their day to day tasks. Compare the Huawei p20 pro Vs iPhone X.

Sounds legit. I agree. iPhone users pay for a "lifestyle premium" element.
