Huh? Fictional?
Yes fictional because most people buy smartphones on monthly plans and the X only costs a little more than the normal models. Absolutely negligible increase.
Even if that’s not the case and buying it outright means stress for one’s pocket then they shouldn’t even look at it and try to own it. Phones have been selling for around £800 for a while now. If an increment of only £200 puts it out of budget then I would question their budget of buying top end models to begin with.
