Recently, there was already information that a new Apple smartphone, which will be presented this fall, can set a record price. Insiders indicate that the price of the jubilee model will start at $ 1,000.
It is expected that the new smartphone with 5.8-inch OLED-display will be called "iPhone 8", but there is an opinion that Apple may well be named in honor of the tenth anniversary of "iPhone X". The upcoming novelty will stand out with a stylish and holistic design and will receive a glass shell.
Analysts are sure that if the developers in Cupertino implement all the innovative features reported by sources, Apple will not have any problems with the demand for the G8.
In fact, how critical is it if the price of iPhone 8 exceeds $ 1000? If users are willing to pay for the flagship of Apple such money, it does not matter, it costs $ 950 or $ 1100. Especially since most users do not update their smartphone for several years.
Buyers will be willing to pay for the iPhone 8 more, because even now expensive versions are more popular. For example, the iPhone 7 Plus, which costs $ 100 more, sells better than the more affordable iPhone 7. In addition, Apple smartphones are often bought in installments, and the "extra" $ 200, which the company will ask for a new model, will hardly be felt, as monthly payments will increase by about $ 8 for two years.
On the other hand, for someone, the price tag of $ 1000 can be a serious obstacle, because for this money you can buy a lot of other things, the same 13-inch MacBook Air. In addition, this is an important psychological barrier for customers who do not want to give too much to a mobile device.
As expected, the iPhone 8 will cost more because of the higher cost price. The device will be equipped with expensive components, including an OLED screen from edge to edge, a glass case, a 50% more capacious battery, a new multi-layer motherboard design.
One of the unique innovations in the iPhone 8 should be a 3D-perception of the surrounding world, developed by Apple in conjunction with the company Lumentum. The device will be able to recognize the faces of users using a 3D scanner.
