Yesterday Apple unveiled a line of novel phones including the much anticipated iPhone X (pronounced iPhone 10), which is said to cost $999 for the 62GB version and $1,142 (about N500,000.00) for the 256GB version.
Although the iPhone X will not be out for sale until November 3, reactions have continued to trail the newly launched phone, with some asking if the phone will act as an aircraft if put on flight mode.
“I’ve only been awake 10 mins but I’ve already seen that “Iphone X is £1000 airplane mode better take me on holiday,” Emma said.

The EFCC (a parody account on Twitter) has something about the phone: “Wanting to buy iPhone X is not a bad thing, but don’t allow your hunger for it to make you do things that will make #efcc visit you”.

However, this sums it all: “iPhone X is clearly a luxury item. If you need social status and recognition, or simply you can afford it, feel free to buy”.
