Three new iPhones were announced on Sept. 13, 2018.

Two of them, the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max, are slated to be available for pre-booking on Sept. 14.

The announcement, however, was met with some slight concerns about the pricing and other issues.

Slight concerns about pricing and other issues

The iPhone has never been a cheap phone. The iPhone X retailed for about S$1,648.

And the brand new models continued that tradition of premium prices.

The new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max available for pre-booking in Singapore from Sept. 14 for S$1,649 and S$1,799, and if you want to upgrade to a version with larger memory, well, here you go.

Here's the iPhone XS:

Here's the iPhone XS Max:

S$2,199 and S$2,349.

For comparison, their closest rivals Samsung came out with a 512GB version of their Note 9 as well.

Here's the price without contract.

The iPhone also does not come with a headphone dongle, so you either have to stick with the airpods, or spend some more money purchasing one yourself.

Yikes.

Reactions

Here's what Skyscanner think you should use that money for.

European trip.

Others would rather spend it on building a gaming PC.

Or you know, buy one.

Here are some other household appliances you could get instead.

Or household phones.

Some came up with alternate names.

Others made some astute observations about the past.

And the future.

With one persistent question popping up. Who's buying?

And the inevitable outcome.

Oh well.
