September 12 became a signature date for people around the world. Not only was the iPhone XS released on that day, but it was also when most Apple users realised they might not be able to afford it.
With a release date of September 21, users are already placing orders for their new iPhones that will take one to two weeks of delivery.
Others, however, are already calculating different ways to afford their new iPhone XS and have gone to extreme measures – digging into their savings, cashing their salaries in, auctioning items off or just taking out money loads.
And it’s no wonder that the new iPhone XS is driving people crazy, it includes the following features: super retina screens, faster Face ID, powerful chips, better dual-camera systems, 4K video mode and more options.
How much is the new iPhone XS?
The iPhone XS (5.8-display inch) retails from AED4,200 while the iPhone XS Max retails from AED4,700 (6.5-display inch). But, the iPhone Max Gold can reach up to AED6,200.
And the people around the world just CAN'T believe it.
So here are 5 things you can do and buy instead of paying a hefty amount for the new iPhone XS
4,200 ice creams
If you’ve ever wanted to treat yourself and pay literally nothing – a Mcdonald’s ice cream was a way to go.
Their 1 Dhs creamy ice cream swirl is more than enough to satisfy your sweet tooth – and with the price of the new iPhone XS you can literally buy 4,200 worth of Mcdonald’s ice creams good for the ENTIRE year.
Everyone in your life can be treated to an ice cream 4x a day!
