Best Buy Stop Offering an Overpriced iPhone X

Best Buy is no longer grant consumers purchase the iPhone X outright after the retailer previously generated controversy by adding $100 on top of the smartphone's already expensive $999 price tag.

The backlash that the retailer gathered for the overpriced iPhone X has compelled the Best Buy to only sell Apple's premium smartphone via carrier-specific monthly billing plans.

It seems that Best Buy has now bowed to the customer backlash, as the retailer has decided to stop offering outright buy for the iPhone X and the iPhone 8.
