The Apple X has been announced for $ 999.00 in the USA (without tax of course).
In Germany this model costs € 1,149.00.
The flagship (264GB model) will cost € 1,319.00 ($ 1,149.00).
Introduction
The questions are:
- Do I wanna buy an iPhone X, or do I wait for an improved model?
- Why do I wanna wait for another iPhone?
Upgrading?
| Current iPhone | Battery | Memory | Data Roaming |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Currently I have an iPhone 6 Plus, bought in September 2014.
|
I have already changed the battery of my iPhone 6 Plus.
The iPhone battery dried too quickly.
Also I have bought an Anker Power-Bank 20,000 mAh to avoid power problems.
|
Next my iPhone 64 GB memory is becoming too small. I have already removed several apps, have transferred my music and photos to external sources.
|
Furthermore I live in Germany, but I am Dutch. Since the new European rules for Data Roaming I can freely use Internet in the complete EEG (at last), but I do not want to spoil my 3000 MB in a month completely. |
Price
The price is high, but for me that's not the biggest issue.
The iPhone lacks some important core features which causes me to doubt.
Missing features
| TouchID | Headphone jack | Headphone | Solution 1 | Solution 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
First of all there is no touchID. That means the very easy way of unlocking apps has disappeared.
|
Next the removal of the headphone jack. The slim design leaves no place for it anymore. |
Apple's solution for the missing jack is a Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter and the EarPods with Lightning connector (which never stay in my ears).

|
Apple's second solution is the bluetooth Headphone/Earpods.
