And for $999, you'd get twice the storage (64GB for the basic iPhone X, 128GB for the Air.) You read that right: For a thousand bucks, you get 64 measly gigabytes on what is ostensibly the most ...

64 GB is okay, but not great for the $999 model, so many if not most iPhone X buyers will likely opt for the $1,149 version with 256GB. For no good reason I can discern, there is no 128 GB option.
