If true, I'll probably just use my 6 until it dies.

Can someone also predict the winning power ball numbers? I need to buy a winning ticket.
I'm already spending 1200 basically for my iPhone and apple care so it doesn't bother me.
I disagree. 32 GB is more enough for my needs, but I Understand it's dependent on the user. I think 64 GB was the common median at one point, but 32 GB is sufficient how one manages their files and data.
And people still bitch about a $1.99 app in the appstore. 
If this is true, it is for the plus model. Or maybe even the plus "edition" model as is being predicted.
Rest assured, the $650 regular model isn't likely to go anywhere.

I really can't get excited over a phone anymore. Give me something new apple!
At that price it won't be $49 more like $69-$79/month.
This is the problem with today's world. You can't just be happy with the money you were making before, you have to absolutely gouge the customer at every opportunity. Record profits or nothing. Greed is good, etc. I make a very, very poor capitalist.
I seriously don't know if I can keep up with Apple at this point. I'm a systems analyst/BI programmer and can barely come up with the money for their products. If they want to price me out of the market I guess I'll go back to Windoze and Android.
This means in England it will be £1000+ which is quite shocking as its approaching MacBook pricing.
You would be surprised but market research companies do exactly this.I assure you Apple does not do pricing research off internet forums.
My $649 iPhone 7 is $32 a month in the iUP program, so I think 50% more at around $49 or so sounds about right for a $1,000 iPhone. Not saying that's a bargain or anything, but I think it would pencil out to around that $49 mentioned.
I buy my phones unlocked and use them on a $30/month plan. The average person is paying closer to $100/month for their subsidized phone plan. How exactly am I being a sucker?
How much will you pay up front though? its not going to be $0 + $49/month. its probably more like $300-$400 + $49/month
So I can get a Galaxy S8 with facial scanning, OLED, wireless charging, and minimum bezels for $300 dollars less and the s8 is selling in record numbers. And most of these features Samsung has last year...
What exactly is the next iPhone bringing to make it worth that much more?

Well, the iPhone 7 128GB is $750 USD and the iPhone 7 Plus 128GB $870 USD.
A potential iPhone "Pro/Edition" 128GB that sits higher than the Plus at $1000 USD isn't really surprising at this point.
iPhones have essentially become the primary computer for most people. At this point I feel like you should be able to buy one, like a computer, and use it for 3-4 years.

I wouldn't be surprised, I know market research companies do this. Apple, famously, makes very little use of such companies.
For those prices it better include "10-bit" (LiveColor / Wide Color / Vivid Color) "capture & display" ... otherwise, the 7s Plus will be the one In Big Demand in September.
but be quick when the pre orders start: 0.4 seconds AFTER the pre orders starts, you are looking at at least 6 to 8 weeks shipping times and all models wiil be massive on backorder.
Why don't you people wait and see the next iPhones features, AND declared price tag (rather than ****ing rumors) before being so damn cynical about it?
