"We start with the iPhone Xs, which will have a 5.8” screen and three storage options: 64GB, 256GB and 512GB. The color options are the familiar Silver, Space Gray and Gold.

Next up is the iPhone Xs Max with a 6.5” screen 64GB, 256GB or 512GB storage. The colors are the same.

the SAR price is inclusive of VAT 5% tax...

get a 1 Tb onedrive, there are few "account" can provide lifetime 1Tb onedrive storage...

I started to change iphone every year since 6s plus till 8 plus, skipped X due to small size, hoping for XS Max, but that price, wooaa, made me think twice.
But my capital is also for the Android flagship, I still can coup android flagship and up to Iphone 8 plus. Already owned Note 9, and to add another iphone with that cost, hmm, eventually, screw, im just gonna buy one...

they are 2 component in ANY phone that made them expensive, the storage type and screen.
I would say the combination of Super AMOLED + UFS 3.0 Storage..

In my previous comment, I included "any" phone that utilize these 2 main components, will pay a premium price. Even Iphone X is using Toshiba 64gb storage and they are expansive. You cannot imply iphone cheap hardware justifies the price. Iphone X example costs $370 and the OLED screen alone is 1/3 of the price $110.

So as a company who will support you for the next 5 years in OS update, buttery smooth in the end user experience, a must-optimized software development, a top notch CPU which beats others SD and exynos in better margin. Apple for sure will sell them in premium.


I wont bother buying an Iphone since I always sell them back after year a and get at minimum 70%-80% of the purchased value.

I purchased top flagship android phone (which currently Note 9) every single year and I changed my iphone every year.

IOS Update

Iphone 5S (9/2013) will get the IOS 12, while S7 Edge (6/2016) might not be getting android Pie

CPU

A11 beats SD 845 in every corner...imagine how A12 can do.

Touch

You will have 120hz touch input which the note 9 wont have

IOS smoothness

this is a bit subjective, but person who use both phone can experiences the differences

If you consider best for bucks, than iphone will be out this league, they are not meant for it.
If you consider long term use with years of support, then Iphone ftw.

getting mine on this coming Friday...lol

have you heard overnight shipment ?

it was only a thought

The Guardian, not given early access to the new phones, will review them when they arrive in the post with normal punters’ pre-orders. But for now, this is what a privileged few thought of the to most expensive iPhones for 2018.
