Apple iPhone Supplier Foxconn Planning Deep Cost Cuts

Talking about the iPhones (I'm not much of a apple guy but I use an iPhone 7+) I totally agree about the new phones.

However I heard the iPhone 7 now sells for 450$ new. Given the 8s weren't a huge performance improvement, I wish tech reviewers would re-evaluate it at its current price.

I wholeheartedly recommend the iPhone 7 (or 7+), especially when you consider it's 450$ vs 1200$. As a bonus the screens are cheaper the amoled (I work in phone repair) and IMO 95% of non-hacker-news users don't benefit from the more expensive screens (either can't tell a difference or don't really care)

I just paid off my iPhone 7 through the upgrade program. And I didn’t upgrade at the end. I still have the 7. It’s a great phone and works perfectly fine. Seriously, not a single flaw.

I want the iPhone X because I want the iPhone X. There is nothing groundbreaking in the X that changes my daily life. Maybe I’m growing older and more financially conscience but it makes no sense for me to go to iPhone X.

7 is still a gem.
