As I said multiple times before, this iPhone sits in price over substantially better phones (from Google, OnePlus and Samsung), and below a feature-complete iPhone 16 with a complete A18.
My guess is there are not too many units (binned A18), and they will use this opportunity to raise the iPhone prices by $100.
It would been killer for $399 or even $499. Guess the previous iPhone model have become the new SE.
Basically, US is an extortionate country. At least it has become one thanks to piss hair.

It’s not a negotiation and Japan, as any other country in the world, should not give in.
