Apple announced three new iPhones at its September ‘Gather Round’ event (the iPhone XS, XS Max and iPhone XR) as well as the newly designed Apple Watch series 4.
I can see a lot of you already reaching for your credit cards. Well don’t. Here are my grumpy-old-man reasons why:
1. These are the most expensive iPhones ever launched
Apple’s lineup of three new phones is the most expensive it’s ever announced. Even the ‘entry-level’ iPhone XR is an eye-watering prospect at $/£749. That’s an awful lot of money for a phone that is the baby of the range. The iPhone XS Max weighs in at a mighty $/£1449 for the top-spec model.
2. You’ll miss the Home button
The iPhone’s Home button might feel anachronistic, but there are millions of iPhone fans who still love its simplicity and function. Sure, you get more screen without it, but you’re also losing one of the reasons the iPhone became such a success in the first place.
