Apple’s iPhones XS and XR may become cheaper in 2019; Know why?

Last year, Apple launched iPhone X which shook everyone with its price that’s why the sale of iPhone 8 was high last year because most of the people were not able to buy the brand new iPhone X. This year also the price of iPhone XS made the iPhone lovers much unsatisfied as it was fairly higher than the iPhone X. Its basic version was at the starting of Rs 1 Lakh and the iPhone XR starting with Rs 77,000. As the newer versions of the iPhone peaks the price, it became a reason for the costumers to prefer the older versions.
