on Tuesday, but some analysts said the company failed to address a key point: Why the average consumer should shell out $1,000 or more for its top-of-the-line model.
The company changed its lineup so that the iPhone 12, the direct successor to the iPhone 11, was bumped to $799. That's followed by the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max for $999 and $1,099, respectively. The iPhone 12 models and the iPhone 12 Pro models can be distinguished by the extra camera lens in the latter. The Pro models include a telephoto lens in addition to wide and ultrawide lenses and bigger camera sensors that let in more light for better photos. It also features a new lidar sensor on the back, which Apple said will improve augmented reality features and low-light portrait photos.

The average person can’t afford the new iPhone. Why should they market it to them?
wait...you are telling me that the names 'PRO' and 'MAX' are not aimed at the average consumer? those are the actual hooks to get idiots that upgrade every year to shell out the duckets
I paid one penny for my Blackberry Z10 eight years ago. I'm still using it.
Probably because it’s not for the “average consumer”. It called the Pro for the professional creators out there. 🙄
Is getting kickbacks on the apple iPhone 12? This is the third 'news' article they've put out in two days.
How did phones get this expensive? Are people really paying this much?
Lets wait for MIU versions
It's truly not the time to launch the phone worth 1000+ $
Yeah, and removing the charger and headphones for 'the environment'. Just more Apple bullshit, which their fans will praise as being bold and innovative.
What's the difference between this phone and the iPhone X? Apple is struggling to innovate. It's been releasing the same phone with a new name for the past 3 years.
Wrong time to be selling $2000 phones.

Lol
Nothing Apple does is super exciting anymore.
Ya think? Who has $1100 to drop on a phone these days?
I suspect Samsung behind this article..lol
Dropped, lost or stolen. It'll only be a burden. My Homtom was £70 and its great. Although I keep hearing Chinese voices obviously.
Maybe they don’t want that. It’s luxury item. There’s plenty of cheaper made phones for the average market. Should Mercedes make a cheaper version of their cars?
Those who buy the iPhone 12 Pro will want to feel better than average. Once aspirational takes hold ^.
iPhone can’t you see what’s happening in Nigeria ? Many youths have lost their lives because they bought an iPhone can’t you speak up ENDSARS ENDSWAT
1000 for a phone is a new thing still but get used to it.
People buy Apple because is Apple. There are many Phone are better than Apple and much cheaper. 😂😂😂😂
There are also iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 11, iPhone XR and iPhone SE for all consumer to pick from.
Lol it’s not for that average consumer, just like the MacBook Pro isn’t for the average consumer. A iPhone 12 or MacBook Air is for the average consumer.
More experts and analysts that will be proven wrong in couple of months.
Of course, It is so expensive with no potential 5G service. Let's wait 2 years to have it. It will be much cheap at that time with real 5G service.
Shut up. I just bought the stocks yesterday
Ya Cocaine is ‘t marketed to the average consumer either and the average consumer still buys it. gtfoh with your shit. Apple is a flex purchase and the overall valuation on Apple is about cloud servicing in its “eco system”. Most repeat shoppers grabbing the watch.
but plenty of 'average' consumers will buy it! 🙄
Agree. I thought I can change my 6s plus to the latest iPhone but I can say now that it is out of my reach.
