It wasn't until the beginning of September this year that Apple introduced their new smartphone model, the iPhone 8. However, there are currently many leaked images of the iPhone 8 circulating in the market, each with its own unique design. The iPhone 8 was born to commemorate the 10th birthday of the iPhone, Apple's first smartphones. It promises to be a device with many breakthrough design changes, but Apple enthusiasts may have to pay a relatively large amount if they want to own it. Let's take a look at some of the information on social media right now to predict how much the price of the iPhone 8 will be.
How much is the price of iPhone 8?
Recently, analyst Steven Milunovich predicted that the price of the iPhone 8 will range from 870 USD to 1,070 USD depending on the configuration. This prediction from the renowned market research company's analyst has added more confusion for users because previously, a series of his colleagues from other units 'confirmed' the price of the iPhone 8 at around 1,000 USD.
In more detail, with information from early this month, analyst Simona Jankowski of Goldman Sachs affirmed that the iPhone 8 will be priced at 999 USD for the 128 GB version and 1,099 USD for the 256 GB version, with no lower capacity version. If compared to previous years, the price of the iPhone has never been a hot issue, but this year, it seems to be the top concern. Because according to Apple's default pricing, the iPhone will be sold starting from 649 USD, adding 100 USD for the higher capacity version, or the Plus version. Therefore, many users as well as businesses can easily predict the selling price of the device that Apple is about to launch.
However, with this year's iPhone 8 version, things have become much more unpredictable. Especially this year marks the 10th anniversary of Apple's launch of its first smartphone model. One of the main reasons that the price of the iPhone 8 is so high is probably due to it being equipped with an OLED screen. Although this type of screen has many advantages over LCD screens, it will also cost Apple more. In addition, the iPhone will also be upgraded with more memory than the iPhone 7, and this also contributes to the increased selling price.
Furthermore, many people also believe that the selling price of the iPhone 8 will fall around 1,100 USD for the lowest capacity version of 64GB. Apple has removed the 32GB memory option from the previous generation and only maintains two options, 64GB and 256GB. The price for the iPhone 8 256GB is 1,200 USD.
Despite many people claiming that the iPhone 8 has a high price, this device is likely to attract as many or more users than the current iPhone 7. The reason is that this model receives two major anticipated improvements: a curved OLED screen combined with a borderless design and Touch ID sensor embedded inside the screen.
It can be seen that the configuration of the iPhone 8 will be the best equipped ever, users can completely trust and experience the upcoming iPhone 8 configuration.
In summary, we still need to wait until the launch date of the iPhone 8 to see how much Apple will list this model for. However, the iPhone 8 may not appear at Apple's annual new product launch event in September, but will instead debut on another day (possibly before Christmas 2017). The main reason for this change is due to the insufficient supply of OLED screens for the iPhone 8, as previously reported. How about you? Do you think the selling price of the iPhone 8 as mentioned above is reasonable compared to what Apple is equipping the machine with?
