Why iPhone XS Is SO Expensive. Tim Cook Explains..#Helpful Post

are the iPhone 10s and 10's max models

overpriced Tim Cook certainly doesn't

seem to think so he understands that

they are expensive but justifying that

price tag in an interview he actually

gave some very viable points in his

response to Good Morning America and in

this video I wanted to discuss that are

the iPhone 10s and 10's max models

justifiable at a thousand eleven hundred

or one thousand four hundred and fifty

dollars so the first point that he made

that I wanted to discuss with you is

just the usage per day and how much it

costs to use an iPhone 10s model the way

most people pay for these as it turns

out is they do a deal with a carrier and

they pay so much per month and so if you

look at even the phone that's priced

over a thousand dollars

most people pay about $30 a month for it

and so it's about a dollar a day so he

said that for a dollar a day the iPhone

10s antennas max can roughly be yours

this is with the upgrade plans $30 a

month what most people typically pay

over a two year span the iPhone 10's

comes down to $1 a day and that's not

bad at all considering some people spend

$5 a day on coffee you buy an app here

you go into the store you buy some

random junk for a few dollars a dollar a

day doesn't seem bad at all and it's

something that I literally use for at

least an hour two hours a day I don't

even want to check screen time because

it'll tell me something I don't want to

see but the amount of life and usage you

get out of this phone is certainly worth

more than a dollar the question remains

is does it have to be an iPhone 10s

model there are plenty of phones that

have four hundred five hundred dollars

give you the same usage for even less

per day and it seems like a better value

so yes I think that that point is a good

point but it can apply to a variety of

devices at a variety of prices and so

and if you look at it the phone has

replaced your digital camera you don't

have a separate one anymore it's

replaced your video camera it's replaced

your music player it's replaced all of

these different devices it's replaced

your video player so if you look at it

the phone is replaced your digital

camera is replaced your video camera

it's replaced your music player and just

replace all of those different devices

okay first off music player I don't

remember the last time I

use an mp3 player it's always been a

phone recently so I don't think that one

applies period but video camera and

photo camera sure those are certainly

improving their camera abilities but

it's never actually gonna replace like a

true DSLR or whatnot but a

point-and-shoot camera is sure that can

certainly replace it for many people so

that point I do see as being valid it

certainly could replace your digital

camera and actually this news just broke

today regarding the new iPhones the lens

is a little bit wider versus the 10 so

you might have some difficulty with

cases if they're very tight the camera

is just that much of better versus the

iPhone 10 apparently so will the iPhone

10s be replacing your digital camera for

most people even older iPhones already

have so um I don't know how would the

quality compared to like a $200

point-and-shoot camera but yeah I guess

you do get some extra value from that

and we found that people they want to

have the most innovative product

available and you know with that it's

not cheap to do that and then he says

that it's not cheap to have the most

innovative product and this is where I

100% agree with him I've been making

videos regarding these leaks rumors for

like a year and we always push for the

most innovation to have like the best

features the best specs and when Apple

actually delivers it and asks a price to

reflect all that innovation research and

development you know we Mon here sit and

moan about the price so really I guess

they're totally right about that they're

bringing us state-of-the-art processors

seven nanometer some great cameras

supposedly there are some phones that

they're to still beat the iPhone 10s

camera spec wise quality wise but still

Apple does some extraordinary research

to bring this all into one package and

for a device again that we use on a

daily is it really that much to ask for

a dollar a day to pay for this over two

years and the last point I wanted to

bring up is Warren Buffett so a couple

weeks ago he was interviewed with CNBC

and he actually gave a point that really

made me step back and be like wow that

that is valid I can't believe how much

sense this makes I don't know if you

guys know but Warren Buffett owns about

5% of the Apple company through

purchasing stocks and he keeps buying

them up just non-stop buying up lots and

lots of Apple and when they asked him

about that he said that he truly

believed in Apple as like a cornerstone

of Technology everybody has it influence

of Apple is so wide and far out that he

thinks it's more

about the the numbers now Apple produces

the financial reports for him it's all

about how ingrained Apple is in modern

life and technology in general and an

interesting point to reflect as he said

he has an airplane that costs a million

dollars but he'd rather use the iPhone

he'd rather give up that airplane than a

thousand dollar iPhone just because he

gets more use out of it and really

thinking about his point yeah we do use

this thing so much that a thousand

dollars may not be that much if you

really really break it down but again

that could apply to so many other

varieties of phone it doesn't

necessarily have to be a thousand dollar

iPhone to be the biggest you want to be

the best we want to be the best that's

our objective I know other people want

to sell the most we've never been about

selling the most it's always selling the

best the last thing Tim Cook says that

really makes me respect him is that he

said it's not about selling the most

iPhones it's about selling you the best

making the iPhone as good as possible

and then selling it to the masses

whoever wants to pay up that much money

to have the best you certainly can and I

totally respect it for them so there it

is regarding the prices of the iPhone

10s and 10's max you certainly will be

getting the best that a thousand dollars

can buy but not if you have the year old

iPhone you'd have to be upgrading from a

while ago in order to take advantage of

that full effect full upgrade to the

iPhone 10s so those are just my thoughts

I could definitely see how a thousand

dollars could be justifiable for this

phone if you have something really old

not something recent so Apple certainly

doesn't want you to be upgrading every

year I think with the software upgrades

how they're making old phones more

usable all the time so I think that when

you're ready to upgrade you certainly

will be getting your money's worth for a

thousand dollars but it's just it's not

gonna be a yearly upgrade thing and I

certainly think that Apple knows that

there it is guys the iPhone 10s and 10's

max let me know your thoughts down below

in the description are they truly

overpriced as Tim Cook out of his mind

or is it somewhat justifiable with all

the innovation that goes into these to

charge that much money

hope you enjoyed it guys peace
