I saw a meme on Instagram that was like:
all the things you could buy instead of an iPhone X - 10 pairs of jordans, 100x lunch, 1 month rent...

It's really crazy, smartphones are coming close to the price of laptops nowadays.

They will probably replace laptops soon...

But not with facial recognition, unless you buy KITT, but that's more than $1000.
BTW, the price in Europe will be 1159 euros, there is something weird going on here, a quick conversion tells me 999 dollars is about 840 euros.
It's an stupid amount of money for something like this, in my opinion.

Regarding the features; this animoji stuff does not interest me at all. The camera's will probably be okay, we'll see what the first impressions are.

But I do have some grave concern about the facial recognition part.
Maybe I'm just naturally paranoid, but I will never use that. Hell, I even have the camera on my laptop taped off. No, not really, but the risk of abuse only keeps getting higher and higher.

The price of shipping over the Atlantic? 😏

LOL, they're all made in China, so that shouldn't be it.

I think maybe translation costs from US English to UK English ;-)
