Anyway it seems to me that Apple has gone a little overboard with the pricing for the Xs Max. Compared to the Xs it only has a larger screen and marginal better battery life.

Before with the plus and non plus versions at least the additional stuff you get on the plus justifies the extra premium you gotta pay a little more.

Before this I was pretty set on the Xs Max, looking at how small and negligible the so called "extras" are, not so much now, probably the Xs will suffice.

Unless u willing go for import set. Hk set pricing is much better. What was the price of iPhone x 64gb after sst introduction? Then we may roughly know Xs max price

Not sure man but at launch the retail price for the X in Malaysia was RM5149 for 64GB and RM5899 for the 256GB with GST. But prices rapidly dropped from then on.

Retail price now for the X after SST is RM4857 for the 64GB and RM5565 for the 256GB now for places still selling it.

The 512GB for this year's iPhone X will most likely take last year's 256GB price point and the 256GB will sit in between.

Pro x vs xr were better build quality of stainless steel vs aluminium (but then xr aren't too shabby, its still an apple product afterall), amoled screen vs lcd, dualcam vs single cam, 3d touch vs non 3d touch, with cons of more pricier, previous gen cpu and maybe gpu too, maybe less battery life, single sim. Officially its discontinued too, no more on official apple website listing.

At the end its still upto you but personally i won't consider x anymore, xr killed it.

Same here.

According to the spec sheet the Xr’s battery will last 1.5 hours longer than the 8 Plus. That about clinches the deal for me smile.gif

The X has been removed from Apple’s online store. So if you can score one at a serious bargain from a retailer I would think it’s still a good buy if you’re eyeing an Xs. I’d pick the Xr though. The dilemma now would be what color biggrin.gif

Not so soon, we’re neither in the first or second wave of launch countries. As usual.

I think since the "Raise To Wake" feature and iOS 10 on iPhone 6S and later, you could just rest your thumb on the Home button and wa la! Unlocked without the need to press smile.gif But that said, yeah, farewell, Touch ID, long live Face ID!

It's amazing how Apple keeps on charging these pricing and consumers will still buy them despite all the complaints. Peer pressure helps.

Seem like Apple will be the first on 7nm. I wonder if the battery consumption will improve or they will push more performance since they have more headroom now.

No doubt. With that price , you will still se Xs Max top selling model again.

But this time the entry leve Xr really impressive with its features and price point. Not sure why they even bothered with Xs. IMHO Xr overshadowed it with latest chip, price point, and larger screen.
