The base price of the most modern iPhone yet is $999, and that sure is a ton to pay for. Sure, it would be cool to have the latest and fastest technology from Apple, is it all really worth it in the end? Let’s look at the price of this new phone in a different perspective by looking at other items one could purchase with $999.
(Keep in mind that all these estimations are untaxed estimates.)1. 205 Bowls/Burritos from Chipotle
Knowing that each bowl/burrito is about $8.
2. 200 Venti Cold Brews from Starbucks
True cold brew lovers know that each drink is about $5 each.
3. All Sets of Cards Against Humanity . . . 4 times
On the official website, it would cost about $211 for everything.
4. 999 McChickens from McDonald's.
I understand that McChickens are unhealthy, but it is just so good and incredibly cheap compared to other items on the menu
5. A Comfortable King Sized Bed
6. 99 Months of Spotify Premium
Remember, this estimation does not even include a student discount.
7. A $600 round-trip ticket to Paris with the remaining $400 used on shopping, food, and lodging.
The memories and experiences made on a trip like this will outweigh one's desire for the iPhone X.
8. A ticket to watch Hamilton live.
As a fellow fan of Hamilton, I would willingly give up my chances of getting the newest phone to watch Hamilton up close and personal.
9. 99 Months of Netflix
Estimating that each user pays the $10 monthly subscription.
10. About a 5 Day Vacation at Disneyland
Estimating, that each day would cost you about $200.
11. Watch your favorite artist at a concert up close.
Again, experiences are always better than material items and honestly I could probably do this one a couple of times depending on the artist.
