Their CPUs are the only thing relatively new/state of the art.
All the Face ID animoji stuff is new and impressive - sure it's a gimmick now but the core technology is no joke.
JustCuzIWant2
Check out Blackview's BV8000. You can throw it at a concrete wall with no damage, comparable specs, and its $300. Apple fans make me sad.
I'm a fan of both. There's a lot of great cheap androids - android is the best value for most. But the iPhone X is freaky powerful.
Limited in functionality by apples operating system
You can say whatever you want, the fact is iPhones run faster and work better even years after they’re released.
iOS has a lot of strengths - restricting the OS to a few devices allows one to have much more intimate hardware/software integration
When in reality all new phones cost this people just like to complain about Apple. The new Galaxy is the same price.
Prepare for the down votes kid. You are correct but this crowd doesn’t like that around here. v
When in reality Samsung Galaxy phones are not "all new phones", and great phones can be had for half the cost, if not less.
WayneSLuther
It's 50 cheaper. Lol.
Yeah. $999 vs $949. Ain't worth complaining 1 over the other. Thats the "same" price.
But I can buy a phone case with 50.
jyetie
Picking the two main flagships isn't representative of all phones.
Not ALL new phones. There are cheap models (at about 120€), but there's def. way more expensive ones as well.
Yeah, dealing with 140 characters. I meant all new flagship phones, top tier models. Some take it too literal.
SilentScreamsX
Um, the S8 is cheaper and has tech that isn't half a decade old.
iPhone 8 is the same price as the S8.
The next Samsung phone will cost as much as iPhone X the way it goes.
exterminans
man do your research. the listing prices are comparable. Real prices: s8: 550€; s8+ 632€; Iphone X > 999€
You mean like this https://imgur.com/5iyRGpG
more like this: https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/5416287_-galaxy-s8-samsung.html
you should never buy your phone from your provider. You pay the highest price there...
Phones are expensive, but nobody pays for it upfront. It’s built into your phone bill. It would be like a $4 increase with a 2 yr contract.
(Assuming your current phone costs $800 like mine)
I paid for mine upfront. Why pay interest on a loan I don't need?
Bugofbelgium
It's pretty much not a thing around here.
Speak for yourself. I always buy my phones outright, up front.
I’m speaking for most people. You’re in the minority though.
I’m not sure how I managed to swap two sentences but sure, thats fine I guess.

I'm a fan of both. There's a lot of great cheap androids - android is the best value for most. But the iPhone X is freaky powerful.

Limited in functionality by apples operating system

You can say whatever you want, the fact is iPhones run faster and work better even years after they’re released.

iOS has a lot of strengths - restricting the OS to a few devices allows one to have much more intimate hardware/software integration

When in reality all new phones cost this people just like to complain about Apple. The new Galaxy is the same price.

Prepare for the down votes kid. You are correct but this crowd doesn’t like that around here.

When in reality Samsung Galaxy phones are not "all new phones", and great phones can be had for half the cost, if not less.
WayneSLuther
It's 50 cheaper. Lol.
MattDethridge
Yeah. $999 vs $949. Ain't worth complaining 1 over the other. Thats the "same" price.
WayneSLuther
But I can buy a phone case with 50.

Picking the two main flagships isn't representative of all phones.

Not ALL new phones. There are cheap models (at about 120€), but there's def. way more expensive ones as well.
MattDethridge
Yeah, dealing with 140 characters. I meant all new flagship phones, top tier models. Some take it too literal.

Um, the S8 is cheaper and has tech that isn't half a decade old.
paulpounder
iPhone 8 is the same price as the S8.
paulpounder
The next Samsung phone will cost as much as iPhone X the way it goes.
exterminans
man do your research. the listing prices are comparable. Real prices: s8: 550€; s8+ 632€; Iphone X > 999€

you should never buy your phone from your provider. You pay the highest price there...
ItsUncleSam
Phones are expensive, but nobody pays for it upfront. It’s built into your phone bill. It would be like a $4 increase with a 2 yr contract.
ItsUncleSam
(Assuming your current phone costs $800 like mine)

I paid for mine upfront. Why pay interest on a loan I don't need?
Bugofbelgium
It's pretty much not a thing around here.
serenityfast
Speak for yourself. I always buy my phones outright, up front.
ItsUncleSam
I’m speaking for most people. You’re in the minority though.

I’m not sure how I managed to swap two sentences but sure, thats fine I guess.
