The 256GB version of the Iphone X is $1150 while you can get a cheap LG phone for $50 that has a 8mpix sensor and does all the things that a regular smartphone does. With the $1100 you save you could pick up a used Canon 6D or a Nikon D610 and have $200 left over for a lens, so is the Iphone X overpriced? Small mistake in the video: I-Phones have had Phase detect AF for a while now but the AF as far as I can tell and have used, still sucks compared to real cameras.

They should adjust the F-Mount onto their mirrorless camera.
