Not going to pretend, I will buy two the second they are up for preorder.
I'm almost certain Apple will price point the iPhone 8 like they did the MacBook Pro - an entry level Pro with less features like one without a touch bar.
I am always amazed at the rhetoric that pops up every time Apple gets into a release cycle with a proposed new phone and the amount of people with the current model standing in line with cask and credit cards in hand to purchase the "latest and greatest". If you have a current model 7 or 7+, why do you need a new phone? Just because, or??? I have a iPhone 7 with 128 gb storage and am on the upgrade program. At this point, I don't even see a reason to consider a higher priced phone when mine works fine. Maybe it's just me? At least I won't be in front o of you slowing down the new phone purchase process.

It is just you. Each has to make their own choices. If one has the money and wants to buy, they should buy if the want it. Other are more practical and will never upgrade until their current device dies.
Each need to choose for themselves.
Agreed. I am currently using a 6 plus, so obviously I don't always need the latest and greatest. But if other people do, then that's ok with me.
1. No.
2. Maybe if my shares double in price.
I would wait out a new design's first year. I is always problematic with new hardware flaws found after few days/weeks. Buy next year's refined model.I will buy it anyway,I am totally bored from this 6 series design,and i really need change

You're excited "about a flushed dual back camera?" Do you have confirmation somehow that it's flushed or sitting evenly with the chassis? I can only imagine the disappointment you will find out if it's protruding out of the chassis, that might take away your excitement.
Exactly, not everyone is in the same situation.
Each person picks and chooses what works for them and decides.
I won't buy this cycle but not because of price. I just want to get at least two good years out of my iPhone 7 investment. I have no doubt this new iPhone pro or whatever they decide to call it will be a grand or more. People will buy it in droves anyway. The good thing is there will be less expensive options for those who will not want to pay that price.
Until that fact changes, Apple will continue raising the Apple tax. Only customer revolt will change that pattern.
At $1000, the monthly payments may start creeping up far enough that it will change the sales numbers. There's only so much people will pay per month, without extending the contract past 24 or 30 months. Yes lots of us on here who are the Apple crazies will run out and get it no matter what, but overall they will have to be aware of the sales numbers of the general public with that type of pricing.
My iPhone 7 Plus 128GB was $869 brand-new. $999 is about $130 more. If you're on a device payment plan, it translates to about $5 more every month. If you've already made the leap to pay the monthly cost for an $869 phone, $999 isn't gonna be that difficult to overcome. The jump is even shorter if you've got a 256gb model.
Androids are getting better and cheaper and I know it's apples and oranges as I have owned both but $999 seems like a Sony PlayStation 3 price mistake. I like my iPhone but there is no way I can justify that just to say there is a piece of fruit on my phone. Public schools all going chrome books as well replacing apple devices this kind of a price jump wouldn't bode well me thinks. But I'm an idiot what do I know?
Gonna wait until after the Keynote to decide if it's worth upgrading to me.

Depends on what matters more to you. I'm cheap when it comes to vehicles, clothes, shoes, etc. so I can afford to indulge my tech, anime and comics addiction.
Gonna stick with my 7, but I don't be upgrading to IOS 11 as every update seems to introduce performance issues on any IPhone that is not the latest thing out.
For me, it just really depends on the features introduced. A redesign isn't going to cut it for me this time.
