Yep, $999, and that's just for the starting version. Be prepared to part with one of your beloved kidneys if you want that 256gb version, which starts at a whopping $1,149.

We may just talk you out of shelling out for that shiny new future phone after this.

Here are 11 things you could buy for the price of an iPhone X;
