People queued at Apple stores across the world for launch of the new phone
The cost has been described as 'crazy' by people on social media
Apple’s latest iPhone has smashed through the £1,000 mark, but that didn’t stop long queues forming at its worldwide launch yesterday.

The iPhone X starts at £999 for the 64GB standard model, rising to £1,149 for the 256GB version. Some owners will pay more than £2,800 for packages on contract deals.

Despite the cost, people queued at Apple stores across the world yesterday, on the tenth anniversary of the launch of the first iPhone. One of the first in line at London’s Regent Street store was Marco Pierre White Jr, son of the Michelin-star chef.

The reality TV star, 22, was pictured in a hoodie and covered in blankets as he queued up to buy one for his girlfriend.

The iPhone X is the first Apple smartphone to feature facial recognition technology, known as Face ID, which is used to unlock the device. It is also the first to have an edge-to-edge OLED screen, allowing more vivid colours.

Most handsets today are bought on the basis of a 24-month package, which spreads the cost but also puts up the final bill.

For example, the £999 handset rises to £1,150 on a 24-month deal with Apple and the £1,149 one goes up to £1,323. The Three mobile network has gone even further with the launch of a two-year package at an eye-watering £117 a month – a total of £2,808. This includes unlimited data and talk time, but the cost has been described as ‘crazy’ on social media.
