What are your thoughts on your "new" device?
Just saw it in store and boy am I glad I didn't pre-order!!

Apple is robbing us good!!


I know some of you are pissed lol
 
Not talking trash I own the X. I prefer iOS
Been a user since the 5

Same ole phone.. Nothing has changed!!! But the $$$

Screen still looks outdated! The gold color option is a horrible choice. I can’t believe the coin they charging for the Max.

I’m just venting... and wanted to see how many returns are heading back lol

Went from the X to Xs Max, really happy with my decision as the bigger screen is a really nice. I am considering returning my Apple Watch though to be honest, I just realized I don't use it for much other than just notifications and time.

Eh, that's the sort of thing we can expect from the S cycle, as you should know. More colors, camera changes, speed bumps, etc. Body/screen will stay the same. I mean, for the most part, the 6 design lasted for quite a while (6, 6S, 7, 8). You could say nothing changed between those.

Yes but the price is what’s pissing me off lol..

There is nothing in these phones that justify spending that amount of $$ on it.

You paid the same price for the X. If someone already has the X the new models are not much of an upgrade but for people with older models the X/XS/XR/XS Max are a substantial upgrade.

You own a phone that is almost identical to the XS - and paid the same for it - but you didn’t return it a year ago?
I think you just played yourself...

The XS is not targeted at X owners - even Apple doesn’t expect people to replace their phones every year.

Negative!!! The X factor was totally a different design and came with Oled. I needed to have Oled in my life. That’s why I paid my $$$..

I ain’t that dumb to buy the same phone twice lol..


I paid $700 for it since I sold my 7
 
Agree with you on the Xs. But the Xs Max I think is an upgrade due to the screen size.... as for price well Apple products are luxury items in a sense, the top of the line products are not for everyone’s pockets.

Im an android guy but this is the reason ill pay what i have to pay to run ios. I have a spare iphone 6S. I updated it to ios 12 and it became just has fast and smoother than most android phone and still getting day one support. Ran today and got a MAX which can last me for 2-3 years. Thats how i knew that u also pay for reliability. I had a gs8, note 8, gs9+ and they were great phone but dont really get updated often plus their value decreased by half in less than a year.

actually it's amazing

Not sure why anybody would return it unless it had a defect

bigger screen the main plus
faster
better camera
portrait mode is great

so for me it's well worth the upgrade

They aren’t “robbing us” lol. I copped the XS Max and absolutely love it. If you have the X there is no reason to the get XS unless you are upgrading to the MAX. The new Apple Watch is a HUGE improvement as well. I’m impressed and pleased with my purchase.
 
Me too, this XS Max needs to seen. I wasn’t even thinking of getting it already owning the X. Apple didn’t rob me, I may have robbed them lol.

I bought a pair of pants that i think costs too much and maybe I’ll return them. Maybe I won’t. Maybe I’ll see who else thinks pants are too expensive? iPhone is a product. Products can be good or bad. That’s why people can buy them if they want to.

Apple is only "robbing" you if they put a gun to your head and force you to hand over your cash. Stop being hyperbolic.
