iPhone 8 predicted pricing starting at $999. Buy or Pass?

Ok, I’ve said no way on anything over 800, but you know what......I’m still somewhat under the Apple reality distortion field created by Steve Jobs, it’s fading but you just never know, and if this happens at Apple Park I might Just fall for it.
 
curious to hear if people are ok downsizing from a plus model to the 8, i understand the screen to body ratio is better on the 8 but i’m not sure i would like the feel of a smaller phone, will there be an 8+ model in the future one would hope

Yeah that’s been on my mind, if the sensors and cameras are just crazy bonkers I’ll would be willing to downsize...not happy about it though;)

i will surely go for 8+. will not be downgrading to 8 from 7 plus!
 
Buy, I have the 256GB 7 Plus which is basically right @ $1k I just want a smaller form factor with the same size screen.

See I want the same form factor I have currently with my 7+ with larger screen. This is another reason why I can't purchase an iPhone 8. Essentially I'm not actually gaining very much, next year they'll release a plus size for sure. Can just sit and wait it out, haven't seen much that really gets me excited about this year's products.
 
Seems like analysts are saying $999 (64GB) $1099 (256GB) $1199 (512GB). The 2nd tier is a no brainer, even if you are a hobby video/picture taking. Especially at 4K, it will eat your storage up quick.
 
Even though the analyst are saying $999, there's still a part of me that is hoping for $899 with a $100 lower starting price on the other 7S models. Even for a special edition, $1000 just seems a little too high. I guess we'll find out for sure in Tuesday.

I have the new Samsung S8 now for about 3 weeks, what I have noticed in these 3 weeks; I can be much, much more productive with my S8 then with my iPhone 7 (which is eating dust in the drawer) or any of my previous iPhones (3GS/4/4S/5/5S/6/6S) from the past.
And I can still use my iPads en 2016 MacBook Pro just perefectly fine along with my Samsung S8.

I think a lot of people whould like to run a company where they have their loyal fanbase ''by their balls'' and therefore also the control of their wallets/money when it comes to smartphones in this case! :apple::apple:

I don't want to seem rude, but it looks like you were one of those who bought the newest iPhone every year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At 1k for an iPhone I'm out. Crazy
 
PASS

For $930.00 the note 8 includes a wireless charger , a microsd card, "Touch ID lol" and AKG high end earphones.....

This is the better deal and better device. Saves you the 500 dollars Apple will charge for these extra items total. SMH
That's why no one should complain about the Note's pricetag.

And don't even mention the ones who carry credit card balances forward month after month by choosing to pay just the minimum due.

It's mind-numbing to think so many do this...

They are just being American. The Bankers need the debt so that they can trade.

Even with all the included options and accessories that the Note 8 has, it really comes down to what someone prefers for the platform with iOS or android. The hardware is one thing, but the operating system is on a totally different level. Both are good, it's just personal preference what someone is used too or likes better.

I just can't see that happening as Apple won't reduce the price of the 's' as it means reducing the price of the 2016 phones even more. If they being the new 's' models in at last years prices they will put daylight between the new oled phone and the 's' flagship model

you will care when you are still paying it off next year and you want next years model.
If you can't afford to pay for it then don't buy it
 
My 6S Plus was $850 plus Applecare plus tax, around $1050. Best phone/portable computer/comm device I ever had, zero regrets.

Would I spend that much or even 20% more for a substantially improved model while getting $200 back for my current phone?

Oh, sure. :apple:
 
100% buy. The other iPhones are trash compared to this.

I think Applejuiced's theory is closer to reality. At $1k I am taking a pass on getting a new iPhone and so will loads of other people. Apple would take a solid hit in the butt on that price point and lose a heck of a lot sales. I just don't see it happening. That price point's too high unless it's a super premium model.

I hope this is true so I can finally get one without waiting 3 months. I'm looking forward to the high price point to decrease demand.

You still have to pay it back, if you don't have money and can't afford it you shouldn't get into debt.
 
I'm on a 2-year refresh cycle, and the 7 is still working fine for me, so I'll be passing.

Hopefully, v2 will iron out all the v1 issues just in time for my next iPhone :D
