Xs last 30min longer than the X was a slap on the face.
$699 was never a reality, just a rumor. And the XR is cheaper than an 8 Plus while offering way more. Personally, I'm a little confused by how similar the XR is to XS in features, are you paying that much more for just OLED and a second camera?
OLED and stainless production is $$$
I mean, this was a weak update across the board AND no price drop at all? Hard pass, across the board.
There was not going to be a price drop. $1000 is now the norm, thanks to the iPhone X and Samsung following suit with the $1000 Note 9.
Yes, ridiculous, indeed, but if we're honest about it, mid-range phones at reasonable prices are really quite good these days.
Supply and demand - as demand goes up, so do prices.

3D Touch, stainless steel body, dual lens camera, OLED, I've never thought gold was an attractive option before, but goddamn that color looked great in the keynote.
yes it is.... Personally I am very disappointed at the fact there is no fast charging included in the box at these prices, Apple is robbing its customer base and that is sad.
The pricing is definitely getting tough to stomach. I was all set for a xs max, but now I may have to check out the cheaper options. $1600 CAD after tax (not including apple care) is... yikes.
I just laughed out loud for the XS Max @ €1659 in The Netherlands.
Apple has 2-3 years between major updates. With filler, or removal of features like headphone ports in the off years. It's at least a positive as long as functions weren't lost
XR is now 59€ more expensive than an 8 Plus (current pricing). Who's buying an 8 Plus with such a small difference?
I get that the XS and Max offer a more luxury experience, I'm sure you'll notice in real life. Either the XS is too expensive, or the XR is just great value. Probably a little bit of both.
If dual-cameras and higher resolution are small differences for you.
Against a bigger screen and new design? For zooming and nitpicking on the resolution? Yes, that’s not a big deal to me.
