How Much Would You Pay for Your iPhone 6S Plus?

If you’ve been looking at the iPhone 6S Plus for your next purchase, you’ve surely come across the question of cost and whether or not the device was worth the investment.

Well, that remains true for everyone around the world, but did you know that some areas have to pay much more for the same device than you do? Indeed, the same upgrade in a country like India can be almost double the cost depending on what version of the iPhone 6S Plus you’re getting your hands on, around $1000 to be exact. Those going for the 128Gb are definitely making an enormous investment for what is still a mobile device, and something that would be almost like buying two phones in North America. The phone costs around $650 in the United States and still represents a major investment in that country.

Of course, customers in the country can go for cheaper versions, but some fans aren’t willing to settle for anything but the best. So, this iPhone 6S Plus remains a must-have for them and they still go by that price nonetheless. Would you do the same? Fortunately, there’s some competition in that country that can provide cheaper options, if the Apple fans are looking to make the switch of course. For instance, Samsung offers some prices that resemble more what people are paying for the iPhone 6S Plus in North America. However, is there the same level of satisfaction?

How Much is This New Device Really Worth?

After considering such high prices in such areas, it’s useful to consider if the iPhone 6S is really worth its price. Does the device improve sufficiently on previous versions to justify such a high price? Among the most important offerings of the new device is the 3D touch feature that detects the pressure you apply on the screen and that represents a new way to interact with the device as whole.

However, the rest of the features offered on the iPhone 6S might be more basic, which might make some people question if it’s worth to put up this kind of money this time around. The iPhone 6S is more of a phone that’s carefully polished and that offers a better experience when it comes to key apps, but there’s certainly a lack of overhaul to justify such a price, especially in a country like India. Sure, if you’re looking for power, you won’t be disappointed with the hardware that’s being offered, but sometimes we look forward to owning something a little bit more impressive than simply the latest updates.

And that might what the iPhone 6S is lacking to justify its price in some countries, which is that “wow” effect on purchase. On the other hand, the iPhone 6S might be the device that you will keep for many years to come, so that might be one thing that will play in its favor. One reason why people are still choosing to pay for the iPhone 6S Plus is because of the large and very impressive screen the phone is offering, perhaps one the best around.

Does global dominance matter? Then, with such prices in certain countries, it’s certainly worth asking if companies should make some more efforts to put up competitive prices all around the globe. In a way, this could affect Apple’s reputation when it comes to making their devices available to the masses, and not just for the people who have put aside massive savings to get the next device. Moreover, for something that’s mobile, these prices are getting quite out of hand. Could this be an opportunity for companies like Samsung to take over by offering something comparable for a cheaper price? We will have to see how Apple adjusts its strategy when it comes to the next version, but one thing is sure, people in India won’t mind waiting a little bit longer for the next device by having paid the iPhone 6S Plus at this price. And let’s not forget that the iPhone 6S Plus is already more expensive than the previous versions. 3D touch and the other new features for notes, maps, along with the big screen might be attractive, but this new phone seems to be getting out of reach pretty quickly, especially if you want a lot of storage space.
