I have a 7. I’m a typical dream-customer for Apple and my carrier in that I upgrade every 24months (Hand phone to a family member and get a new one).

I don’t care about new features such as Face ID. I do look with envy at the X camera though.

My next phone might be another 7 unless Apple drastically cuts prices or introduces an iPhone 9 with the X camera.

There is no justification for adding 50-100% to the monthly cost of a smartphone in 2019 when it’s the first time I don’t really need a faster phone!

Apple obviously realize that if they had a reasonably priced phone it would eat all their XR/XS sales, but the product strategy just looks like it risks losing customers to Huawei/Samsung.
