iPhone X became Apple's first smart phone whose price touched the number USD1.000. Compared to the competitors, the price is quite 'crazy' for one unit of smart phones. But when viewed further, an iPhone X can be more expensive than the figure earlier. Citing reports Gordon Kelly of Forbes, one iPhone X was able to drain costs up to USD1.371 or about Rp18, 6 million. Kelly got that number from a number of elements required by the iPhone X, ranging from accessories to insurance costs and assumed that purchased iPhone X is the cheapest model that is 64 GB type with the price of USD999.
AppleCare, an insurance program from Apple, actually has a diverse offer. For iPhone X, AppleCare costs USD199, more expensive than iPhone 8 or 8 Plus which costs USD129 and USD150. Then for accessories on the iPhone X, the price is more expensive than regular accessories on the iPhone. Differences in technology so the more expensive cause of accessories. For example for fast charger, which by Apple is not given in one package sales of iPhone X. One unit of wired fast charger priced USD50. Meanwhile, because iPhone X uses USB-C port then the prospective buyer must have the cable to the USB-C converter lighting that cost about USD25 US for a length of 1 meter.
Finally, in order for the wireless battery charging feature in iPhone X to be optimally used, potential customers require an AirPower Apple placer whose price is still estimated at around USD99 to USD150. All 'side' costs make the price of iPhone X swell to USD1.371 or about Rp18, 6 million at the current exchange rate. Though the details of this price is still made based on the cheapest option of any mobile phone accessories and have not taken into account the taxes and repairs that may be required later. Maybe for the iPhone this time it's worth considering twice. But that does not seem to be a problem for Apple's loyal users. Because the initial order of iPhone X called sweet-line, to result in skyrocketing value of the company's stock in the stock.
