Poll: ** The Official iPhone 8 Thread **

[Junglist]

My Iphone 7 plus (256) cost me about 1100 GBP.

How!?

 

[Rifte]

How!?

In India tech is notoriously expensive. You can usually add anywhere from 25 to 30% (on UK prices) on a new phone once it gets released.

I wont even talk about TVs and monitors, the mark up can be as much as 75% in those cases.

I was interested but if it really is over a grand, they can **** right off. Can't pay more than £600 for a phone, and that hurts bad enough. Looks like another year or two with my Galaxy S6, which still does everything I want it to anyway.

Whoops, sorry I didn't notice your location!

I always tend to go for the one that was released the year before. Half the price and almost the same spec

You need to be strong willed to block out all the hype of the new one but I totally agree with you. Financially makes sense.

Meh i phones a phone nothing on a phone is ever so amazing that i need to run to get one, all i use it for is txt, calls browsing and watching videos and streams. Which most do anyway. Anything else isnt worth 600+

 

[Biglee]

I'mm all over it. I say if you can afford it, then why, the bloody hell, not!!

I was going to, but not so sure now... I reckon it's going to be diminishing returns over a 7s, seems like the 8/edition/pro/whatever they will call it is mostly going to be a 7s in a new body and OLED screen.

Don't know which rumour sites you've been reading! This is going to be a pretty special phone I would've thought.

 

[Captain]

They should go all out on this phone, make it a market leader.

Can't help but feel in coming out with 3 phones, they're short changing the consumer. The buyers of the new iphones at the £600-800 range every year were buying Apple's best foot forward and now it's no longer the case. Anyway, back on the iPhone 8 hype train, mostly due to the rumoured 5.8inch screen. Bigger the screen the better for me, as a commuter.

 

[LiE]

I can't see them keeping the naming conventions e.g. with version numbers

iPhone 7s will become just iPhone or iPhone S.
iPhone 8 will become iPhone Edition or iPhone Pro.

Similar to how we have for the Macs.

iPhone SE (2017)
iPhone (2017)
iPhone Plus (2017)
iPhone Pro (2017)

Having 2 number systems wouldn't work. What would they do next year? 8 becomes 9 and 7s becomes 8s? confusing.

We don't really know if the regular size/Plus model this year are going to be the equivalent of this year's 'iPad' in that they come in at a slightly more affordable price point than the flagship model at the expense of not having the latest features. All we really know about them is that they look almost identical to last year but are a bit thicker in all dimensions due to them using a glass back.

 

[Broken Hope]

If they are doing 64, 128 and 256GB sizes as rumoured I can't imagine the base model being that much more than the 7+, I'd guess the 64GB model would be around £800-£850.

 

[Junglist]

I went for the 7+ 256GB so if it's around that price I wont be too upset.

 

[Hyburnate]

Having used Android for a good few years I quite fancy a move... It does look like a nice phone.

Plus with a work provided MBP and a personal iPad it would be nice to complete the ecosystem.

1k is a lot though, especially when my OP3 (even after its bath) is working absolutely fine.

I heard they were doing 64gb, 256gb and 512gb for the iPhone 8?

 

[Junglist]

I can see 512GB beeing over £1000.

As long as the 256 is around the same price as a 256 7+ then it'll be fine

You're right, I remembered wrong.
