Yeah, one of my best friends is like this. He always gets the cheapest current iPhone the summer before the new models come out every two years. I always tell him the new ones are coming, but he just wants to save some money and you can get deals ahead of the new device launch. So that's what he does. He has the current iPhone for 1-2 months and doesn't really care. There are a lot of people like this. We aren't regular people because we're on MacRumors so we don't understand.
I think the iPhone Pro will be priced at least $200 more than the iPhone Plus, but not more than $400 more. If I had to guess, $999 for 64GB, $1099 for 256GB, and $1299 for 512GB. Although they may not offer a 512GB model yet, BUT that model could justify some of these rumors about a price north of $1200. If that comes true, I'll be paying $51.16/mo for the 256GB model on the iPhone Upgrade Program. This will cost me an extra $175/yr over my 128GB 7s to have a high end OLED 3X retina device with wireless charging, dual-cameras, new design, better water proofing, 3-4GB RAM, improved camera with 4K60 front and back, Face ID and longer battery life in a smaller package. I'd pay that no problem.
I haven't seen any rumors but I bet the speakers are also better, and things like the flash might be brighter, and the laser module might make auto focus lightning quick with the potential of better depth recognition for more accurate portrait mode. And from what I understand, Sony is the camera manufacturer of the iPhone 7, and they have a new 19MP sensor that can shoot 1080p video up to 960fps. What I'm not sure about is how good that sensor works in low-light situations and therefore suitable for use in the iPhone. But we might see some crazy advancements like that on the horizon. I see devices like the iPhone destroying the low-end dSLR and low-end mirrorless markets within five years. It's why companies like Sony are investing more in higher end APS-C such as the $1400 a6500 and the $4500 full-frame a9 and haven't updated their low-end APS-C a5100 or low-end full-frame A7II in years. Apple wants to produce a device that has a camera that can do really crazy stuff and appeal to these "prosumer" users and I think the iPhone Pro will be THE platform for all kinds of crazy smartphone camera development in the coming years.
This make sense to me EXCEPT for having a 64GB variant. I’d say, not unlike the Jet Black, they’ll have a higher price and forgo the lower storage tier.I think the iPhone Pro will be priced at least $200 more than the iPhone Plus, but not more than $400 more.

So Apple won't call it iPhone 8 because of the Galaxy S8? You mean how Apple didn't call it the iPhone 7 because of the Galaxy S7? Oh wait.....
And iPhone Deluxe? Never. Makes iPhone Pro sound appealing.
To be fair, I applaud Apple for increasing the SE storage from 16gb to 32gb several months ago. Is it enough, no. 64gb w/o expandable storage is the bare minimum. But Apple can get away with "memory upgrades."

Leak from Foxconn showed 64gb/128gb for that hideous new "Copper Gold" color. But then again, 256gb should be the max for this upcoming OLED model.
Historic data.
So just rumours then.. no facts then. Considering how inconsistent the rumours have been, I'll trust my instinct if it costs from 1100 or more it'll have 128GB starting size.

It won't start that high though because Apple is making a 64gb model as confirmed earlier by a leak.
Rumours and historic data ain't the same. Rumours don't have any base other than "supposed" leaks. Historic data is right in front of everyone.
You should know better then to believe any leak... no one has a c,use this year, that's been very obvious from the contradicting rumours every week. Apple has controlled them very very well.
Doesn't mean a thing! Apple has never priced a phone, if it prices it this high, before as a starting price so their is no previous business model you can go by.
I predicted that the iPhone 8 will start at $969 for 64GB and that the larger 256 GB model would be $100-$200 higher. It has already been rumored that the iPhone 8 will only come in 64GB and 256 GB options.Many many many people would consider your estimated price to be one utter total rip off! And that includes Apple fans, for the reason you predict it'll come with 'only' 64GB non expandable storage.. it better come with 128GB minimum for that 970 dollars you predict!

Until you want to use 4K60, lol. At least iOS 11 video sizes are smaller. Hope they re-encode iCloud libraries.With device trade in promos, I believe I will get the iPhone 8 I want. It would be ideal for me if the $949-$999 iPhone had 128gb storage so I can freely film in 4k without issue, but 64gb is sufficient for me. I have a 32gb 7+ right now, but I use Google Photos to store images. Plus, don't have many games installed on my phone. If people make the iPhone last 2+ years, then it is worth the price. If people upgrade yearly, the iPhone 8 is a crap buy.

When I looked it up, it seems like HEVC will allow roughly double the data for the same file size, so 4K60 shouldn't be too bad. But yeah, 4K video files are huge and since I upload everything to my 2TB iCloud storage, I end up having plenty of space on my device. But if a video is more than a few weeks old, it moves off my iPhone entirely and I have to stream it, which can take a long time. I wish Apple would serve up device-optimized videos from iCloud because I don't need full 4K playback on a 720p device. I always want to record the best video quality possible because I have a baby and a toddler and want archival footage for when they're older. But part of me is wondering if I should just keep it set at 4K30 and enjoy the smaller file sizes!I had 4K off on my S8+ even with a 64gb SD card because those files are so damn big to transfer anywhere.
Assuming there will be a 7s and 7s Plus as well, I'd think those two will keep the same storage/pricing structure as the 7/7+.
That said, I'd imagine that a 64gb iPhone 8 will be $849 and go up from there with a 128gb being $949 and 256gb at $1049.
Saw that too, expecting the iPhone 8 to be around 1300-1400 CDNWell the Red phone is going to cost from 1100 I believe, but that is something a bit different, but the new Ultimate phone is going to cost 'from' $1050 in Canada confirmed! And it's got a design a bit like the iPhone 8:
