Will you still get the iPhone 8 if it ends up costing $1400?!

[dejanh]

We’ll have to wait for the official announcement for the pricing. It might even start at $800 who knows

Now that was a funny post!

Or maybe they will do buy one, get one deals....

Exactly!
I doubt it though

Based on information from today starting price will be USD $1000 less a buck. In Canada that means the starting price will be $1400 CAD. That's utterly insane.

We will have to wait and see but if this was the case I would have to look at other options maybe 7s?

LOL, I always say I'm not going to pay that much for a phone, and end up paying that much for a phone....(DAMN you Apple ()).....LOL.

Maybe fifty per cent of the UK Apple base won't ! I have just read a BBC news article that maintains that 50% of us did not upgrade to the 7, because of cost and lack of features. I think the average gadget lover over here is just bored with the "new toy" that is the smartphone. £500+ a year as well as your broadband package@ £600 ish is a lot of dosh really, for the most vulnerable of the comms systems with toys attached.

$1200 + tax will be like over $1300. That's too expensive for me.

LOL, don’t worry you’re not the only one

I understand what you’re saying, but instead of making a blanket statement that a specific color is boring, say that it is “boring to me”. Know what I mean?....

I guess I need to add a disclaimer to my posts so that people aren't offended by my opinions, or completely hung up on the lack of a word or two that they have been told should accompany all opinions ("To me...").

Guess we'll find out at the keynote event September 12th.

Didn't you know the word Boring is offensive these days

You guys are funny screaming about $1000 lol, i bought a 7 128Gb 2 months ago for $900, if the 8 is $1000 i will buy 100

So does that mean if they're $2000 you'll only buy 50?

I think the point is where does it end? But as long as people are willing to hand over their credit card without question, the prices will keep climbing.

Ahh, got ya.

Yup, don't always know where people live which can impact responses to comments.

$1,440 is very pricey but sure why not?

Last year the exchange rate was $1 US = $1.40 CDN. Now it's around $1 US = $1.25 CDN. I think if the iPhone 8 comes in at $1000 USD we will see it sell for around $1299 CDN because of the better exchange rate.

 

[Eclipse2K]

Nope, keeping my 7 as it’s only 9 months old. But if I needed a new phone and the iPhone 8 was $1400, I just don’t know... that’s $150 more than I paid for my laptop and $300 less than I paid for a Sony Bravia 4K HDR TV... it’s a bit ridiculous.

But I am a sucker for technology so if I bought a new phone it would likely be the newest one. It’s just difficult to drop $1400 in such a fragile piece of technology even if I do use it more than anything else.

 

[Jude526]

I won't pay that price. That's out of line
