 "The iPhone XS, XS Max, XR worth the cost as they replace other gadgets: Tim Cook")
Defending the high cost consumers would have to pay to own the most **expensive iPhone** released this month, **Apple** CEO **Tim Cook** has said that the device is worth the cost as it replaces many other gadgets one might need, a media report said. Apple’s newest line of iPhones – the **iPhone XR** , **iPhone** **XS** and **iPhone XS Max** – cost as much as $1,449 for the most expensive model, CNBC reported late on Tuesday.

It’s replaced your video camera. It’s replaced your music player. It’s replaced all of these different devices,” Cook was quoted as saying to ABC’s “Good Morning America”. “And so arguably the product is really important. And we’ve found that people want to have the most innovative product available and with that, it’s not cheap to do.” In India, one would have to shell out Rs 12,075 a month as zero-cost EMI for a period of one year to own the 512GB variant of iPhone XS Max that will come for Rs 144,900 in India.
