Worth the tag? iPhone X

Would you pay $1000 for a cellphone? Apple just introduced three new phones into their already impressive lineup of gadgets on September 12. The iPhone 8 and 8 plus were two of the three aforementioned phones that were revealed by Apple. With the same 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch display as the iPhone 7 respectively, dust, splash, and waterproof features, gorgeous HD retina display, long lasting battery, and 4k video recording at 24, 30, or 60 fps, one could only wonder. Is there much improvement from the last iPhone? As I analyzed the specs on the two new devices from Apple, I realized that they really only improved a small amount of things from the 7. As a matter of fact, most of them aren’t even improvements; they are instead additions which are truly few and far between. I struggle to see the real difference between them. On the other hand, Apple also dropped the details on the iPhone X, the third and final installment to this new list of phones. Although the 8 and the X have both improved on storage capacity, you are only allotted the two choices of 64gbs and 256gbs. I am certainly not complaining about this because who wants to spend more money on iCloud anyway? The iPhone X is all screen. Meaning no more useless white borders and, or, Home button. Personally, I liked having the button but I can see what they’re going for here. Brimming with new features, the iPhone X is certainly stunning and shines bright compared to the lackluster iPhone 8. With a completely revamped system, the X’s specs are phenomenal. The X has an all-new 5.8 inch Super Retina HD Display, 2436-by-1125 pixel resolution, Face ID, and a brand new iOS operating system. Truly an impressive display, you can tell that Apple went all out on the drawing board with this new phone. But the question still remains; would you pay $1000 for a cellphone?
