When rumors first swirled that Apple's top-of-the-line 2017 iPhone would cost upward of $1,000, some hopeful fans posited that such a high price would be softened by an extra goodie or two packed in -- maybe a wireless charger, or even the AirPod wireless headphones.
Of course, with the iPhone X demand said to be "off the charts" and the phone backordered for weeks, there's no need for Apple to sweeten the pot.
As a result, what you get in the box with a $1,000 iPhone X is... pretty much the same stuff you get with every other iPhone.
When I pried open the box of our Apple-supplied white iPhone X review sample, I found:
- The iPhone X
- 1 Lightning USB cable
- 1 standard 5W USB charger
- 1 EarPod wired headphone
- 1 Lightning-to-3.5mm headphone adapter
- 2 Apple stickers inside of a brief setup guide/warranty manual
As with recent models, there's no SIM removal tool included, but a paperclip works just as well if you need to swap yours out.
The iPhone X is available direct from Apple, cell carriers and select retailers beginning Friday, Nov. 3.
