iPhone XR, XS, XS MAX
 

https://www.cnet.com/news/iphone-xr-...-749-999-1099/

the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR, Apple's new iPhones for 2018, are officially here. While the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max have virtually the same guts, just in two different sizes, the iPhone XR introduces a profound shift in Apple's strategy by folding its "bargain" phone into the premium iPhone mix.

The cheaper iPhone XR shares many of the same specs as the top-tier iPhones, but comes in much bright colors and has some slimmed-down features, like a smaller battery than the new iPhone XSes. The pricing is the most attractive for iPhone loyalists. Although there's nothing "budget" about the iPhone XR's $749 starting price, people looking for a new iPhone this year could easily gravitate to the cheaper, more colorful XR.

This reveal of Apple's 2018-2019 lineup is a big moment for the tech giant, which shook up its iPhone range in 2017 when it introduced the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, effectively killing any chance of a future iPhone 9 and turning its whole iPhone naming scheme on its head.

At a time when phones are becoming more and more expensive, Apple's decision embrace of the new "X" family is important because it cements a new strategy for Apple, one that will continue to set the pace for phonemakers as we move toward 2019.

1519, 1729,1999

HOLY FUCK thats expensive. but for 1 inch more fuck yes!

probably gonna upgrafe to the 256 X mag but jesus fuc on that ricing.. uhg..

Pricing is insane.

Keeping my iPhone 8 at least another year

anyone know the dimension for max?


heard it will be slightly smaller than iphone 8 plus?

-gonna pre order the X S.

My old iPhone 6 Plus is lagging thanks to Apple's iOS updates. SwiftRage

-time for an upgrade.

lol @ the cost for the "cheaper" model

would you guys go for the XR or the previous model X?
I can get a 256GB X for slightly more than the cost of the 64GB XR...

apple and their fucked up pricing!

$1729 for a 256gb is just absolutely insane

$1936.48 after taxes..
:alonehappy:

^make sure u add on apple care too

Didn't even know they are releasing a new iphone

jesus christ..

fuck maybe i wont be upgrading.. i thought getting $600 for my 7+ might be OK, but not when i gotta shell out 2k ffs..

no battery replacement if shit goes weak as time goes on.

it's okay,spend another $1500 next year.

I been hanging on to a gift card for 2 years now waiting to upgrade my phone... and I can't even justify using that at these prices... holy hell... would you buy a new top of the line laptop every 1-1.5 years? Insanity.

I thought I would be switching back to iOS but damn that pricing is crazy :\

yeah it actually quite absurd on what apple does with their products and pricing....waiting for that oneplus 6t lol

Peasants, jk.

I think this might be the tipping point where I switch back to Android.

It's all about the pocophone f1.

Did they add a fingerprint sensor yet?

^nope

:seriously:

What is the appeal of these? I know in the iphone 4 era, they were pretty far ahead of the rest in terms of computing power when it mattered more. Since then, $300 Android phones have surpassed them in terms of usability, function, and quality

no idea I mean the whole this is over priced for what u get...only appeal to me is simplicity with ios but ill stick with my oneplus devices....
