The $999 Phone

[Ittai]

Sorry i would not buy any phone/ smart phone on mobile for $900/ $1000...

I would never pay that much for a phone that could be stolen or lost so very easily. I'm hoping to upgrade my iPhone from a 5 to a 6 now though since I should be able to get a good deal on that.

So, I'm sure many of you recently have heard about Apple's new fancy iPhone X (10), worth $999. What are your thoughts on this? Anyone considering to buy it?

999 is too much money for a phone. Mine cost 290 and I'm still paying for it a year later! Who could afford that sort of thing?

I have heard of the fancy  new luxury phone but will not be purchasing one. I have been an iphone user for about six years for a variety of reasons: the phone is well put together and durable (my last one lasted five years before my son destroyed it); they do not appear to be a target for hackers; software applications used to be more abundant; and I have been accumulating shares in Apple (I always buy shares in a product that I believe in) so having the product that makes me money on the market makes sense to me. I replaced my last phone with another iphone that only cost two hundred dollars because it was last year's model. I feel somewhat certain that apple will release a lower cost alternative at or slightly after the luxury phone roll out.

I would never buy a 1000 dollar phone.

(looks around) I would.  Mine you I saved up for it through survey sites like these and long overdue to change my handset.  And I get a good discount through work.

It's just a waste of good money. 999 is way too much for a phone.

I doubt this is true.  I saw the stated prices for other iPhones and most people get them for a lot less.  To answer the question NO I will not ever pay $1000 for a phone.  But it is actually way more than a phone.  It is a computer in your pocket so it is probably worth it.  But I would make sure to invest in a high quality protective case because most people bounce them off a wall by the 2nd day they are carrying them.

nope! not right now anyway lol

[davissy]

amazing how much these phones cost now and how many people are willing to buy them at this price.  Way too expensive for me.

I do love iphones. However, I have a 6s plus which works great and I plan to keep using it. I keep my iphones at least 3 or 4 years then upgrade. By then the price will be much lower.

[yaayme]

Uh......Nope.

[timvolley]

i agree with you no phone is worth 999

I am not sure how it could be lost very easily.  Maybe I am just more responsible and take care of my things.
