Best Buy announced last week that it will sell the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus devices at a higher price, but didn't exactly specify why. Customers who would buy either the three Apple smartphones mentioned would be charged an extra $100 when paying the full price upfront.Well, that's not the case anymore since Best Buy announced that it had to halt the sales of iPhone X and iPhone 8 after customers complained about the $100 premium charge. However, the US retailers continue to sell Apple's iPhones, but only via carrier installment plans.
In a short statement, Best Buy said that even though there was clearly a high demand for the unlocked iPhone X, it has decided to stop selling it for a higher price because it would basically affect the company's image.Although there was clearly demand for the un-activated iPhone X, selling it that way cost more money, causing some confusion with our customers and noise in the media. That’s why we decided a few days ago to only sell the phone the traditional way, through installment billing plans.
Initially, Best Buy claimed that the $100 premium charge was intentional since offering different purchasing options for the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus “has a cost.” Well, I guess that didn't work so well in the end.ncG1vNJzZmivp6x7sbTOp5yaqpWjrm%2BvzqZmp52nqHyDsdKtZHutqWLAtbvPrGSsnZyhtq%2BzjKitnqqgp7akscNmoImgn6OybqSMrqWirKNirqfAxKtknK2jqbyusdFmmZqbm6GutLS%2BoptycWRngA%3D%3D
