Why. If Apple included the power adapter and AirPods it wouldn't be a $1K phone anymore, it would be a $1,2K phone (assuming base is $1K). Personally, I rather Apple just sell the phone naked with zero accessories and $35 less -- they won't do that because it's free money to them to include (and charge us for) accessories we don't need.
$49 is insane for the fast charger though. Prevents me from buying one for my iPad. Wish there was a reliable 3rd party alternative.
You mean the gold silver and black that Apple used before Sammy? Got it.Gold, silver and black... sounds familiar

Will blue and light purple come to the 8s? Yes Apple was first with these colors, but the glass back and these colors is familiar with the S8
Alternatively, what I like about Apple is that they offer more colors than most other cell phone manufacturers.
I agree. Though I wouldn't buy it, it's definitely way more classy than the cheap/fake gold.
Wish they would give us a navy/dark blue one. Kind of getting sick of constantly getting black but don't know if I could live with white.
Cue loads of people moaning when their £5 fake USB-C to lightning cable they bought on Amazon cos "there's no way i'm paying Apple's silly prices" doesn't fast charge the iPhone as it doesn't contain any of the extra circuitry required to negotiate the 29w rate which is why it costs so much.
....was hoping for space grey. Either way, I just bought a new battery and loud speaker for my iPhone 6. hopefully this puppy will last me another year. It still feels plenty fast and well equipped for my needs.
The Amazon Kindle Oasis has a semi-matte finish on the glass display. I don't see why the same technique couldn't be used on the back of the iPhone.
Have to purchase a fast charging charger to get the increased speeds? Cmon Apple, surely that can’t be true. Every other manufacturer includes a fast charger in the box.
I'm guessing prices will start over $1000 because Apple knows they will sell every one they make and have people waiting for more. If the customers want it they'll pay it. They will still offer the 7s and 7s Plus for the poorer folks, but the Apple brand has always catered to the rich folks so I expect most of the demand will be for the iPhone 8. You will probably have no problem getting a 7s or 7s plus on launch day.
I’m slightly surprised to see color backs at all, but I’m positive all fronts will be black, and that there will be a dark mode by default on all software. Black pixels save a ton of power and they will take advantage of that. I also assume the device will be called iPhone 8, because 8 is a very lucky number in China. Oh, and they should release in only a very few key countries at first, then go wider as supply increases.
My understanding was the OLED was going to be Black, Silver, Copper/Bronze. That looks Copper/Bronze to me as well.
The black one in the article photo looks like a modern reincarnation of the iPhone 4.
No complaints from me on that - the iPhone 4 was my first iPhone and by far (IMO) the most beautiful one. The glass body and stainless steel frame, man, it was stunning.
Very excited for the new iPhone if it looks like the 4.

It's a good business move on their part. My Samsung S8+ came with the fast charge adapter, but Samsung isn't Apple. If Apple can make an additional i.e. $49.95 selling a fast charger on top of the price of the phone that's a lot of profit.
So if you order the iPhone 8 within the first 5 seconds you will only have to wait 4 weeks after the first one ships 4 weeks after release first.

Are you serious? Have you read any of the HomePod leaks within the last week? Some of the biggest leaks and rumors surface this time of the year weeks before the September Keynote. I would say quite a few people care.
