£1449................really

DCFC79

Are you surprised OP as I'm not.


They obviously believe people will fork out £1449 to buy 1 outright or x amount a month as part of a contract. Its an obscene amount of money for a phone.

I find it surprising, nay indefensible :cool: that people still find it possible to start a thread just to wind people up.
Yeah it's very expensive , and but some say Apple have their "genius" stores and staff to pay, but the only thing I really find objectionable are the costs of screen or battery etc repair. Also having gone from an iPad 2 to an air 2 and paid the premium for having 128GB of storage they still only give you 5GB of iCloud storage for free , and yes I know their next level of storage is a "reasonable" monthly cost if the kit lasts say three years then the monthly cost will add up. Fortunately I have offset the cost of my iPad air 2 by having a moto G5 and dual boot PCs/Laptops for the same price as the new X.

No one has to defend anything it’s individuals preference to what they want to buy...

Oh dear, denigrating someone because of a spelling mistake, a sure sign of a lost argument. Can't believe you missed "undefencible" though.

Wouldn't that be biology rather than maths?

I can never understand those statistics. I always think of Apple as a great american product for americans but they don't favour them as much as the UK.

this imo is unpresidented

So it's only bad spelling not really a thread about getting rid of Trump?

Where have those stats come from? I'm not convinced from anecdotal experience that there are more iPhones than Android phones in the UK.

Thought I'de re visit current provider Xs total cost as next day deliver available.
Approx 2.1 k 36 months 4gb data-that's the most expensive next day delivery I've known
Anyway sticking to patience delivery 2-3 weeks @1.56k
Let's hope my new Mobile providers don't get carried away with introduction price rises, considering yesterday's developments.
