That seems fake, like someone made this on a whim. For one, it shows gigabits (Gb) instead of gigabytes (GB). There is also the lack of a 128 GB option, which seems quite likely to make it based on previous schematic leaks.
 
Well, that would make my decision simple. I want the 5.5" but I'm not paying that much. This is what I imagined...

4.7"

$649
$749
$849

5.5"

$749
$849
$949

Although now that I've actually typed out $950 still seems like a LOT of money. :p

I agree. If a 64GB 5.5" iPhone 6 is well over a thousand, I'll probably buy an LG G3 outright for less than $600 and sit this year out.

If Apple is willing to price the iPhone 6 model at $1000+, why would the iPhone 6s or 7 be any better? What benefit would you gain by waiting it out? You'd still have to pay up to renter the iPhone ecosystem down th line.

Perhaps I should have said I'd "sit at least this year out."
 
Aren't iPhones in HK more expensive after converting to USD already?

Yes. People are freaking out over this and need to wait until Tuesday. I'll be surprised if the 4.7 is not the exact same pricing as the 5S with the 5.5 model being $100 higher per storage size. Also, people need to remember that the phone did not rise in price from the 4S to the 5.

This should help settle some folks down:

Correct. $199 (on contract) is considered an acceptable starting point for flagship phones. Apple is NOT going to go above that with the base 4.7". And from there I would assume they'll keep their $100 increments for storage increases. I think a lot of people are freaking out because they're just now starting to realize how much they're actually paying for a phone, and it ain't $200, it's a LOT of money.

Honestly, I think deep down in their subconscious they're thinking "My last iPhone was $200, this one is $700."

The real question should be if there's a 5.5" and if so how much a top model is going to set me back. :p

Makes sense, as the average consumer doesn't know of give damn about the difference between Gb and GB.
 
I doubt prices would leak like that, but that's about what I'm expecting for it to be in Australia. The current prices are basically that here anyway.

There is no such thing as LEAKED pricing. Its either it comes directly from apple or its not real. Simple.
 
I'll believe the prices when I see them listed by Apple on the day of the new iPhone announcement.

Agreed. Especially since I plan on buying the iPhone 6 unlocked. There is no way I'm shelling out $800 for the 16GB. If these prices are in fact true, I'll stick with my 5S. But I'll wait until Apple themselves confirm the prices on the 9th.
 
Ludicrous! So they were talking about impressive prices when they said they had the most impressive pipeline in 25 years...sheesh.
