The iPhone X is priced at $1,000 which is the first time a mainstream phone has an entry-level price with four-digits in it.<\/p>\n
This led to weeks of media pundits explaining to us that $1,000 is a major milestone in pricing and that phone users will be divided into haves and have nots. Other articles explained what a big deal this extra digit is and how it changes everything and other alarmist headlines and story angles which seemed to try to tie into a theme of income inequality.<\/p>\n
It’s not surprising actually as every story now seems to be divided along political lines.<\/p>\n
Here is what no other outlet besides us explained to you.<\/p>\n
People who can afford an $800 phone can generally afford a $1,000 phone. This is especially true as via financing, the price difference will be about $3-$4 per month to upgrade from an iPhone 8 Plus to an iPhone X.<\/p>\n
We explained this quite clearly<\/a> a few days ago and now, as the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have been released, the lines outside Apple stores aren’t what people were expecting<\/a>. Reporters who for some reason did not read our post and were subsequently uninformed, said customers were “missing.”<\/p>\n
