iPhone 8 – iPhone version X “anniversary” to more than 1000 dollars ? – ZDNet France

Unless there is a change of calendar, the next generation iPhone déboulera in September. And for Apple, it will not be of any launch. It will coincide with the 10 years of the smartphone.

This generation is already expected as a break with the previous ones. Contrary to his habit, the iPhone 7 was mostly an incremental evolution compared to the 6S. Apple would be well spent on a renewal cycle of three years, compared to two before.

Already have an iPhone 7 Plus to more than€1000

so What’s new for the iPhone 8 ? The rumors abound. Fast Company contends, inter alia, the scenario of a special edition for the 10 years. A sort of ultimate version of the iPhone. The price also would be ultimate. The exception, it pays for itself.

And after FC, who cites a source “informed of the plans of Apple,” the iPhone X would show a price of over 1000 dollars. The firm of Cupertino would it be too greedy or this assumption is simply far-fetched ?

Not for Fast Company, which notes that the iPhone 7 More and version 256 Gb climbs already to 969 dollars (and even 1129 euros in France-edition jet black…). However, the iPhone 8 should be equipped with more features, including a new OLED screen of 5.8 inches.

such A screen would cost the double of the current LCD screen used by the builder for his iPhone. Production costs envoleraient so with this iPhone model. And it is not in the habits of Apple crop on its margins.

No OLED for all

in Addition to this iPhone 8 or iPhone X, Apple would launch a model of 4.7 inches (iPhone 7s), as well as a version 5.5 inch or 7s More. But according to Fast Company, and as already suggested by KGI Securities, the two other iPhone would retain a LCD screen. Only the iPhone 8 or X would be with an OLED screen.

The u.s. giant would bring other changes, for example by replacing the metal at the back of the terminal by the glass. The physical Home button would disappear him also the benefit of a touch-sensitive area. This choice would, however, not yet arrested. The ambition of Apple would be what it would be to offer a smartphone the more rich as possible in terms of features.
