If iPhone X and Huawei Mate10 have the same price, which one would you choose?

The Apple iPhone X, which is about to be officially released, is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated smartphones this year. However, the starting price of nearly 10,000 RMB on Apple's official website has deterred many Apple fans from buying it.

According to Taiwan Economic Daily, Apple is working on developing a low-priced version of the iPhone X. As the product is internally code-named "Hangzhou", its main market is also locked in China.

Although the design of the low-priced iPhone X may not change much from the iPhone X, industry insiders speculate that in order to adapt to the lower product price, the low-priced iPhone X will change from the current OLED screen to an LCD screen. If the black technology Face ID is unfortunately cut off due to cost reasons, the possibility of replacing it with an under-screen fingerprint recognition will increase.

In addition, according to the latest news from Taiwan's industry chain, due to the unsatisfactory market response to iPhone 8, Apple has proactively reduced iPhone 8 orders in the upstream of the industry chain. The iPhone 8 orders from foundries Pegatron and Wistron are slowly decreasing. It is rumored that in November and December, the supply of iPhone 8 series will be reduced from 11-12 million units at its peak to 5-6 million units. This will not only make way for the future iPhone X production capacity, but also provide a prerequisite for the emergence of a low-priced version of iPhone X.

According to cost changes, the low-priced iPhone X is predicted to be priced in the market range of around RMB 5,500. Although it cannot be considered truly cheap, this price is much lower than that of the standard iPhone X. It is in the same range as the overseas price of the just-announced Huawei Mate 10. Considering the positioning of a flagship smartphone, it is quite reasonable.

So, if the iPhone X and Huawei Mate10 are priced the same, would you choose to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, or would you rather go for the jazz life?
