Recently, Apple just revealed the new iPhone 8 and iPhone X. I have been waiting for them to reveal it for a while. I've been wanting to upgrade from the 6s for a while now. It seems like the phone you have messed up when there is a new iPhone coming out.
The new iPhone X and the iPhone 8 are both very nice looking phones. I knew for a fact that I was going to upgrade to one of them. As I did my research on both the phones, I decided that the iPhone X was the one that I wanted. So, as I was looking at all the features the iPhone X would have, I ran across the price.
I had a mini heart attack when I saw it too. The phone is $999 if you decide to pay in full (for 64 GB). That's right, $999. Oh, get this, a 256 GB is a little over $1,100! Is it even worth it? That phone costs the same as my MacBook. Right now at Verizon, an iPhone 7 costs $649.99 and the iPhone 6s costs $549.99. There is also the option to do monthly payments.
The iPhone X uses face detection to unlock your phone instead of fingerprints. I like the idea of the fingerprints because a fingerprint is unique to you. I'm sure the face detection would not recognize me when I just woke up from a good nights sleep. Everyone knows I look rough in the morning. I also look different if I wear my glasses. That should be fun.
My little cousins who are 6 and 5 love playing games on my phone. Well, that will end if I get the iPhone X. Costing that much, I cannot let anything happen to it. I recommend getting it insured. That's what I did with my 6s when it first came out.
I told my mom that I wanted the iPhone X and that did not go over well. I guess I need to start saving my money. I'll be that person who gets the most expensive phone ever. I believe the iPhone 8 will be released this month, costing around $699. The iPhone X might be out around October. I might just settle for the iPhone 8.
So what do you think? Is the iPhone X worth the money? Would you pay $999 for a cell phone?
