i dont think what he meant is based on "news" but based on their pricing trend along these years. since now an iX that cost almost 6k (256GB) can still easily sold, so as a perspective of businessman, why don't just increase the price in future? since they still having their fans what.
imagine during the time i bought i6 (64GB) for RM2749 (pre GST & currency adjustment) back in 2014, and 3 years later now, a 64GB model cost RM5149 also got people queue to buy, so not a surprise if in future apple decide to price an iphone @ RM10k.
what we can hope is android to improved themselves regardless hardware/software or pricing to give apple some stress. the more competitors, the more benefit to consumers. if 1 brand is monopoly the market, that will only benefit the company and not consumers.
apple products are getting more and more expensive but after sales service (for local premium reseller at least) getting worse. recently just listen different kind of complain regarding their after sales service. and now even try to sell out some protective plan that cost hundreds, and worst thing 1-1 exchange policy even changed, unlike last time, no matter phone got what problem within the year, they will just change a new one for you.
Agree mate. My last 5C Pre GST was affordable and a really good phone at its time. But now the price really soar up too high.
Among other thing stopping me from buying 8+ is the lack of fast charge support out of box and Buggy iOS 11 from reviewers.
