Best Buy is charging $100 more for the iPhone X, and its explanation is infuriating customers by Steve Kovach on Oct 27, 2017, 5:13 PM Advertisement
 - Best Buy is selling the iPhone X for $100 more than other retailers.
- The company's reason for the price increase struck many people as nonsensical.
You already know the iPhone X isn't cheap. With a $999 starting price, it's the most expensive model Apple has ever made. But if you decide to buy one from Best Buy, it's even more expensive. Best Buy is charging $100 more than any other retailer for the iPhone X, customers discovered as preorders became available on Friday. The 64 GB model cost $1,099 at Best Buy, instead of the standard $999 price, and the 256 GB model is going for $1,249 (normally $1,149). When asked why Best Buy was charging more, a company spokesperson gave a mind-numbing answer to Bloomberg: "Our prices reflect the fact that no matter a customer's desired plan or carrier, or whether a customer is on a business or personal plan, they are able to get a phone the way they want at Best Buy. Our customers have told us they want this flexibility and sometimes that has a cost." If you want to buy an iPhone X, we suggest having flexibility too. Choose from any of the numerous retailers that won't charge you $100 more for the phone. Meanwhile, Best Buy is getting roasted by angry consumers on social media channels like Twitter: Some of the comments on BestBuy's Facebook page were pretty brutal too:
