The new iPhones and AppleWatch are great but I am disappointed by the prices.  Does anyone know how much the tariffs have contributed to the price increases?  The dollar after all is strong.  I anticipated Apple would include new USB-c chargers in the X models to make up for the estimated $100 price increase I see across the X models.

I love my iPhone X and I want other people to experience it and perceive a good value with the purchase.

Apple is about making money FIRST, they clearly proved that when they didn’t even include a fast charger with the Max that starts at $1100. I thought they would include them with all the phones this time around but no. They are still nickel and diming is because they know we will still pay.
Sad but that’s how businesses work, make money for their shareholders and those high salaries for their execs.

Would be nice to see the market push back on the pricing but I suspect Apple still has some room left to run. 

People claimed there would be push back last year. iPhone X went on to become their best seller.

What does that really mean, if it means anything at all?

In my book, and according to industry analysts too, iPhone X sold less in each successive quarter it was on sale. Gartner claims it ran out of steam earlier than any other Apple flagship.

As we wait for full year data (currently we don't even have that) we don't have nearly enough data to make any meaningful claims about performance.

Wait for full year performance data and then report back. AI has a piece claiming that estimates are for over 50% of the new model sales going to the lowest end X. It makes sense to me. Do you think that the $1,000+ phone will still be the most popular?

In 8 of 9 years time Apple will buy the (it’s) last Apple share and in that magic moment invalidates almost a trillion dollar. Someting to be proud of I’m sure.
