I don't have a reason to not believe a lot of what's being posted from the OP's "Source". But it's also a lot of what we already have heard or been addressed with rumors with in the last six months. But either way what's being reported, it's likely going to be somewhat accurate to what the OP posted as it currently stands. This KeyNote needs get here.

As I stated, it does seem somewhat accurate, that's because in order for the accuracy to be measured, we've been using rumors, leaks and predictions for the last six months based on the itemized list the OP listed, which help match the 'Source' information.
You also need to take into account the 20% VAT. The price of a 128GB iPhone 7 Plus is £819. Currently, the direct conversion with VAT is £808.06 meaning an £11 markup. However, yesterday the conversion was £812.50 so it fluctuates.
The price formula of all of the iPhones and MacBooks currently seems to be the USD price minus 50 ($869 = £819).
So it can be reasoned that if no change takes place to this and the economy, the next iPhone will start at £949 in the UK if it is $999 in the USA
I'm going for a 7S. It would truly need to be the Jesus phone for me to pay over £850.
The Samsung S8 is really tempting but I'm too invested in Apple's ecosystem for now.
It is a lot, although the resale value will be higher too I’d imagine so it doesn’t really cost more if you buy one every year. Unless they make a much cheaper version next year when the technology has matured
I agree with the above comment. The OP's write up is pretty much a summary of leaked information what we have been hearing, which its credibility is still questionable. We will see how accurate of the leak summary information when the Apple event occurs. Until then, we should not take any leaks seriously.
Indeed, and anyone can see that so far since there haven't been a single white front panel leak (from the leaks which seemed real). The only times we've seen white bezels it was on dummies and screen protectors.

Plus, the majority of case manufacturers doesn't use a white front render for the silver finish, it doesn't really mean anything, but it's still something to note.

all makes sense and believeable in the OP
interested by the new watch and the look of it. Will likely stick with my series 2

But what if next year all the models are the new ‘edition’ style and are sold at the normal price levels. Then this years ‘edition’ won’t have a good resale value. Unless of course Apple decides that the new price levels will start at the higher ‘edition’ level from then on.
Only 2 things from this post that I'm not buying
1. That the iPhone edition will have a better processor, I'm pretty sure they'll both sport the A11 chip.
2. That Apple will spend time on Macs, homepod and macOS. If they're announcing not just 2 but 3 phones, a new Apple watch, the 4k AppleTV and IOS 11 preview the keynote will get too long (usually they don't want to have it last longer than 2 hours)
The rest sounds really interesting and quite believable.

Re #1: OP said faster processor, ie. it's clocked higher.
Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking (I meant that at the end of the post but wasn’t clear about it). I think I’ll do it as a one off and see what happens next year. I can’t imagine paying it every year if the depreciation is high. I think many people will just get the 7S and that this phone will be pretty rare.
Impossible, at least I hope not. iPhone 8 will have a much higher resolution and a possible 120 hertz.
Do you really wish the $1000 iPhone has the same processor as the "cheaper" model? If yes, then expect the iPhone 7S to have the highest benchmark out of the 3 models ....
Every year I have friends that switch, then regret it for 9 months. Okay, I don't have friends, but if I did, they would regret it for 8 months.
It's not what I wish, but it's what I expect.
but if it's true I could maybe see them ship the 'edition' with an A11X (and possilby give the iPad lineup a small refresh too)

A really good review and I hope that more popular youtubers will share the same opinion.
Right? People have wanted 4K forever, so giving it with a price hike seems a bit backhanded, IMO. Hoping that's an inaccuracy.
Processor speed =/= different processor. Also, I specified mentions, not significant time.
RE: White bezels, since it's come up a few times. No idea here. I'm personally hoping they're all black bezels, but Apple has pushed white bezels on us since the iPhone 4. I'd like to see a silver/black combo personally, but at the same time, I could 100% see them doing white bezels to keep a "feminine" appearance to at least one of the colors. While I trust my source, I genuinely hope this one turns out false.
By now I would of thought that it would be locked down for the keynote date, is the 12th set in stone acroding to your sources?
