iPhone 8 pricing: How high can Apple go?

Customers have paid more for storage, processor power, materials, even colors, but will they pay more for iPhone 8 features?


Full story from the iMore Blog...

I can straight up tell you that if the price of next iPhone goes north of $999, I absolutely will NOT buy it.

I was thinking the same thing. I am an  guy but if iPhones start going north of $999 I may have to re think my loyalties.

You don't have to buy the anniversary edition (iPhone 8). I'm sure the 256 gb iPhone 7s Plus will be under $999.

I'm not even upgrading this year. I'm satisfied with my 6s Plus. I haven't seen any rumored new features for the anniversary edition that I absolutely need. Especially not at a jacked up price.

I totally agree, I love my 6s plus. I was looking forward to what great features & looks the new iPhone would have. I would NOT buy an iPhone that costs me $999. I can't imagine what it would have that I could justify, to myself, spending that much money. The 6S plus has been a very good & reliable phone for myself & my wife. I wouldn't even want to spend $900 for one. I'm a loyal customer, but that'simply to much.

I am sure Apple realizes a iPhone 8 1000. or more could price them out of the market I'll wait and see when they are released .

I have the 7plus. I'm good unless the anniversary edition is worth it. But not $1000

I will stay with me Western Electric phone. Much reliable.

I don’t know what that is.
Hopefully someone else does.
If you’re happy with it, then there is no stopping you. But if you’re looking for a new phone, I hear iPhones are quite good.

Well I'm not sure about this, it seems to me that if you bought the 7s, with the largest memory you'ld already be over £900 on last year's purchase, so with a price increase to cover whatever inflation there has been, plus Applecare +, the 1000 whatevers has already been breached !

Same here

The 7+ 256 with Apple care is close to 1k. I can see the phone being easily 1k if not more. I'll just stay with my i7 256

My head is screaming NO WAY while I'm trying to hold my breath and say I won't dare pay that price tag for a phone which I've never done before. All while knowing this girl has shelled out some $$$$ for Louis Vuitton, Prada, Jimmy Choo, etc. but I know we're talking about phones here and not handbags or shoes so excuse the analogy. One thing is for sure the Apple marketing machine has been perfected and it'll sell very well I'm sure with no help from me.
