Two years ago, Apple pushed the price of its mobile phones to a thousand bucks with the iPhone X. In September, the company made the case for even pricier phones by adding a wide-angle camera, night mode and better battery life. Apple even added a slow-motion selfie, a gimmick it likes so much it’s trying to trademark the term.
We’ll soon get an idea of whether the new bells and whistles are luring buyers who might otherwise be put off by prices so high you could buy a laptop for the same amount. On Wednesday, Apple reports fiscal fourth-quarter earnings, the first since its new $999 iPhone 11, $1099 iPhone 11 Pro and $1,199 iPhone 11 Pro Max went on sale on Sept. 20.
