If you were doing something boring and normal like
sleeping last night, you probably missed that iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max
pre-orders kicked off at 3AM Eastern Time last night. The new iPhones will be
in stores in a week, which means we’ve officially entered the dangerous
twilight zone where a handful of misinformed (or desperate) people are going to
buy an iPhone X for an eye-watering amount of money, either out of ignorance or
need. Don’t be one of them.
Apple has done something unusual this year, entirely
killing off the 2017 iPhone X in favor of new and shinier models. Normally,
when a new flagship comes out, Apple simply discounts the previous-year model,
and it becomes the “cheap” iPhone option. This year, that isn’t going to
happen, because in addition to the iPhone XS, Apple also launched the iPhone
XR, a $749 iPhone for people who don’t care about things like OLED vs LCD.
But the iPhone XR doesn’t go on sale until October,
and the iPhone XS isn’t in stores until September 21st. In the meantime,
carriers and third-party sellers are trying to get rid of their iPhone X models
with a modest discount: AT&T, for example is selling the iPhone X for $899
right now.
A $100 discount on a phone that, until last week, was
Apple’s best iPhone doesn’t sound too bad. But unless you absolutely have to
walk out of a store right now, today, with the very best iPhone you can get
your hands on, there is not one single valid reason to buy the iPhone X right
now.
The reason why not is very simple: the iPhone XR,
which will be out in a month, is substantially cheaper and better than the
iPhone X. Sure, it has an LCD screen rather than the theoretically better OLED,
but Apple’s LCD screens have always been fantastic, and nothing is about to
change. The iPhone XR has exactly the same Face ID sensor as the iPhone X, the
same form factor, the same waterproofing and wireless charging, and it actually
has a much better processor.
In fact, there’s two things that the iPhone X has that
the iPhone XR doesn’t: 3D Touch, and a dual-camera setup on the back. If you’re
the kind of pereson who actually cares about having 3D Touch on their phone,
I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that you’re also the kind of person
who can wait an extra week to get an iPhone XS for almost the same price as an
iPhone X. The dual-camera setup will be missed on the iPhone XR, but the single
camera that Apple has put on the iPhone XR is better in its own right than the
camera on the iPhone X, and the iPhone XR can also do Portrait Mode photos,
which was the reason to buy an iPhone X in the first place.
