I've never bought AppleCare with any of my iPhones. The X would be the one to buy it.
$999 for 64GB iPhone X (whether you pay upfront or in zero interest installments)
$199 for AppleCare (because of the possible replacement glass costs, this really is a must IMO)
$85 sales tax
$1,283 total
And then...say...
$39 for a case
$59 for a wireless charging pad
and/or
$49 for a fast USB-C Charger
So that's another $88-98 with another $8 in sales tax.
$1,380-1,390 for doing right (IMO) with an 64GB iPhone X...fuck that noise. :x
Forgo AppleCare, then you are at $1,180.
No fast USB-C charger (shame on Apple for not including it), $1,131.
Go naked...$1,092...but who are we kidding. Most everyone will get a case.
Wireless charging pad...I'd say you should get one because what's the point of having a smartphone with wireless charging and not utilize it.
So yeah, you could just get the X for about $1,084. Or, again, do what I think it is right and be spending 13" rMPB w/o touchbar monies by spending nearly $1,400.:wtf
This shouldn't be the new normal, but it's going to be moving forward.
I'm an Apple homer and I usually find ways to justify my Apple purchases (Late-2008 Macbook, Mid-2014 Macbook Pro, Mid-2011 21" iMac, two iPad Airs, two iPad Mini 2's, iPhone 6, 6S, and AppleTV), but I simply cannot justify at this time, getting an iPhone X to replace my 6S. : |
