I personally wouldn’t need 128-512gb on my phone. I called T-Mobile and got the XS Max 64 in space grey for $109.99 total. Which is surprising. I spent 279.99 for my iPhone X. Weird.

Damn, and I thought the Note 9 was expensive. At least it's worth the money, by giving you everything. Apple's giving a large screen, and gold color SMDH.

Biggest problem with iPhone users! They want so much to have the newest device even though it is marginally updated from what they have that they run out and spend top dollar on this less feature rich than the competition device. If they just waited the prices will come down as T-Mobile and all the other carriers will realize the these prices are too God Damn HIGH!!

Here's why Apple will continue to do well: 1) iOS updates tend to go through a device for at least 3-5 years - with Android from other phone makers, you're lucky to get a few updates and they're always very slow. 2) High price isn't the barrier it seems once you factor in that many people only upgrade when they must due to lack of support/updates, and Apple supports it's devices much longer than others. 3) Google phones never quite became the 2nd option, and that's kept other phonemakers out front pushing their UI-overlays. 4) Buyers budget/plan for upgrades for phones now. People used to get new laptops/PCs much more frequently. Now, it's far more common for people to hang onto laptops/PCs until they simply die - 10 years or more because so much of what can be done is now accessible and can be done with mobile (smartphone) access. 5) Tablets hardly sell any more because large-screen phones do just about everything they do and more, in a more convenient package. Eliminating that category takes another $250-750 out of the tech expenses that now go into the phone.

Apple's pricing right in the sweet spot of supply-demand. It doesn't look like it on paper, but buyer reaction shows that it is.
