    What has that got to do with anything?


    You mentioned a couple of technical reasons why you would drop 1k on a phone.
    I pointed out that better technology has been around for a while and doesn't cost a grand.

    The non existent queues to buy it this morning said it all

    The X is not out.

    Plus don't base things on queues outside a shop. Base it on what the company report every three months.

    Unless you know my workflow and what I use computing devices for then what you say is meaningless.

    ^^ This thread isnt about you ..


    Some apple fans are soooo defensive its funny


    Dont get me wrong, I like my iphone (work one) but all the hype for old tech branded as new , coupled with pocket busting prices is just laughable..


    Go on - Ill bite , how do YOU justify the 1k price tag ?
    You mentioned a couple of points, which i pointed out have been available on other devices for a while .. So what is it that makes YOU want to drop 1k on this ?

    The last sentence, maybe, but the rest is on the button.

    I understand why people buy into the Apple infrastructure and would never say that they don't provide for their market and they have a good product. However, it's been a while since they offered any innovation.
    If you really want to be a one device user then the Galaxy S8 or Note 8 combined with the Dex station, gives it you all.
    All that said. Flagship phones have just gone bananas price wise.
    A phone that sells for twice the price of a good computer and sells, probably, ten times (plus) the units, has to be ripping someone off.
    I have a Galaxy S8, £779 at launch, I didn't pay retail for it so bought it and sold a Galaxy S6, this brought it into the realms of an OK expense for a phone to last a couple of years.
    My Wife has a Moto G4 and rarely finds anything that can't be done. Paying £1000 for an iPhone, quite frankly, is madness.:eek: Especially as in a few months time it will be going for a lot less than that.

    The OP asked is anyone getting it and I answered their question and the reason why. i don't know how else to answer the question?

    I then replied to your statement as I seen no relationship to what the OP said and what I said.

    Hot uk deals had an xiaomi phone the other day for £95 , 3gb ram , 32gb storage , fingerprint reader


    and stock android (no malware)

    If it was the redmi note 4, I bought one and its absolutely superb.

    I am never paying a 300% markup again for a phone!!

    Its no word of a lie the best phone ive ever had, and the battery lasts 2 days!!
    The instructions on the box said 'Requires Windows 7 or better'. So I installed LINUX :D:D
