Not worth it. Get a Samsung or HTC or anything else instead.... it's not worth the money

Think I'd go back to my old flip-phone before I'd pay that much for a phone!  I do love my IPhone and felt I was paying too much for it but my other one had crashed.  Think it cost About $600 or little more but $1,000 is way too much.

In its defense, it IS way more things than just a phone, it's really a whole computer. 1k is still more than I've paid for a decent desktop though so I would never pay that. I also claimed years ago that I'd never pay hundreds of dollars for a phone and yet I just did (and that was after it got old and the price came down.) I think this will probably be the phone whose price will not come down low enough even after it's obsolete and I'll have to look at other options. hope my current lasts a good while.

that is a crazy amount for a phone, I don't care what it can do.  $400-500 is more then enough.

That is so expensive! I personally won't be getting a phone that is quite that much but I know people who do spend money like that on phones. They want the latest and greatest.

Would not buy this phone even if I was filty rich. It's going too far. There's sense and non-sense; this I believe is the latter. There are more important inventions one can come up with.

I can't believe the phone is a $1000.  That's ridiculous.  Especially when it's not really that different from any model that's already currently available.  Ok they may have 'upgrade' a few things to take sharper video and clearer picture but it's basically all the same like the Ipone 8.  So no.  I've got a 6plus and it's great.  I'm not trading it even if the Ipone X was free.

I think this price is ridiculous for a phone. I plan to wait another year, then buy a phone. But it won't be close to a rent payment.

I have the IPhone 5.  That is the first smart phone I have ever owned and I have had it for about three and a half years.  Clearly I don't get all gaga over the newest phone.  And I don't care what it does $1000 is crazy.  But if you have more money than you know what to do with, then power to you.

It's crazy how expensive phones have become. It's also sad that there are plenty of people who would pay that much.

I wouldn't pay $1000 for any phone. That's just insane!

The iPhone X is supposed to be a great phone, much better than the iPhone 8. I am going to wait until it has been on the market for a while before I even consider buying the X so that all the bugs get worked out. Who wants to spend $999 on a phone only to find the battery catches fire or something like that!
