There is the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR. The first 2 cost about a limb and a half, at a starting price point of $1,649 and $1,799 respectively, while the XR, that is the cheaper variant actually cost $1,299.
Just to put into perspective how ridiculous that price is, the Samsung Note 9, which is Samsung's current Flagship Model, can be purchased right now at a price point of $1,340.
One is a flagship model and the other is a "cheaper" option that is supposedly the "iPhone for everyone", the price difference between the two is only $50
WHAT!?!?!?!
And to put even more perspective just how insane that pricing is, the current phone I got, which is a Huawei Honor flagship model, cost me just $600.
I am hoping the sales of the new iPhone won't do well because this is ridiculous, aside from the fact that the phone now cost as much as a very decent mid range laptop, Apple has also decided that they will no longer include a 3.5mm Headphone Dongle in the box, now consumers will actually have to pay for the dongle separately if they are planning to use their wired earphones and headphones with the new iPhone.
And from the start, ever since Apple introduced the quick charging for their iPhones, they have never included the fast charger in the box, it has always been a separate item and I just find that really iffy, considering how other brands are including the fast charger in the box, I actually came across a comment online defending Apple's decision on that and I just find it really bloody stupid ...
"I am glad Apple did not include the fast charger in the box, wouldn't want my phone to be exploding for charging the battery too quickly."
... so if Apple doesn't include a normal charger, then you should also be grateful because Apple potentially solves an addiction problem? Can't become addicted to the phone if the phone cannot be powered on in the first place right?
