iPhone 8 Said to Have 3GB of RAM and 64GB/256GB Storage Options

[tann]

$950 and $1050 then!!

I have a 7 plus and 3gb of ram is nice, but I often find myself switching to a laptop because my phone can't handle certain websites. I think 4gb of ram would've been better, most phones have it.

You realise that 3 GB on iPhone is similar to 6 GB on Android with garbage collection, due to the extra memory needed for the GC. But, what website requires 4 GB of RAM, that sounds strange.

I am wondering how cases will sufficiently attach if the display is edge-to-edge. Even more broken screens incoming.

The same exact way current cases work. iPhone is already CURVED glass, now there is just a screen under it

LOL!

The Shadow will have to take off his mask for facial recognition and his true identity will be revealed.

I sold my DSLR a couple years ago and replaced it with "bridge" camera and couldn't be happier. It does all I need it to do (and more) and I saved thousands. In my estimate the only people who really need DSLRs are some professionals and for everyone else it's just a dingus waving contest. I also have a 6 Plus and it's the camera I use the most because it's always with me.

But here's the deal: if I'm going to pay a premium price for a phone then I a want competitive camera. Not an "average" camera or a "good enough" camera (relative to other smartphones, of course). The problem is when Apple charges $800 yet image quality is on par with 2 year old used Samsung Galaxys you can find on ebay.

You mean the premium price is because the iPhone can run stock quote apps better than the competition? lol.

No, i mean Apple stock is up because the camera is good enough.

The cases will work via augmented reality

They put the iPhone 7 at 32, 128 and 256 sizes - and at the same price points that the 6s were at 16, 64 and 128.

Touché

 

[mattopotamus]

I'm still on the 6. Apple has fully killed my desire to upgrade every year or two anymore. Now they're just "meh". Another phone.

It is not an apple problem, it is the nature of the phone market. Phones have finally peaked.

 

[dampfnudel]

If it's 256 at the 128 price hooray. If it's Apple trying to put the squeeze on customers it's really shameful.

That definitely would be shameful, but with Apple lately...

 

[apolloa]

Hahahaha over $1000 plus and only 64GB! Apple truly knows no bounds
When it comes to price gouging if it turns out to be true!

And we're all awaiting the next big thing. It may be a longer wait this time.

 

[MH01]

Funky , but keep the costs down .

 

[filmantopia]

It better be much more revolutionary than that…

Awwww, 3D laser facial recognition, wireless charging, new likely gorgeous steel/glass bezel-less design, and a fingerprint scanner embedded into an OLED display are not "revolutionary" enough for you? Not sure you remember when it was exciting that you could put photos on your iPod.

 

[PinkyMacGodess]

I like that 'blob' wallpaper/lock screen.

 

[filmantopia]

I'm laughing at all these people ready to open their wallets for whatever absurd price Apple pick out of the air for this fabled device - which will be a let down, money grabbing scheme anyway. People need to become better, wiser consumers. Stop justifying Apple's s**t.

Sorry, but if you're talking about a device I have next to me 24 hours a day, which I use constantly for countless purposes-- it matters to me when it has a better design, a better display, enhanced security, and any features that make it more pleasant or fun to use. For me this is easily worth a premium price.

Thank you! It's nice to hear some sanity on this board. These things aren't a toy anymore - they're vital to many people's lives - for work and personal use. For a lot, they're primary information gateways. They deserve to be good.

it's like 1,000 for the 256GB not 64GB

 

[anson42]

Yes and your plan will go up in price. Significantly.

It may, or it may not. I'm willing to accept a price increase but I think it's still very premature to know if and what that would be. Let's revisit this conversation quite a few months from now...

 

[Ballis]

This is all good news but I wanna know more about the camera. Does it still protrude? Please say it does not.

That wasn't my point. I apologize for hurting your feelings.

 

[oldtime]

I'm starting to wonder if the highest end model will be upwards of $1500. And I'm also starting to wonder if I'll just give Apple the finger, keep my money, and move on if it is.

A $1500 phone would be insane, even for Apple.

 

[BoltmanLives]

A $1500 phone would be insane, even for Apple.

After $199 with subsidy? I'm surprised people shill out $749-949 every year or two times # of family must be nice not to need that money. Whats $46 a month for life to have the latest iPhone?

Its ok you can watch drone videos of Campus 2

Pretty sad Apl seems to be creating another tier for higher ASP to see who bites , while making all others feel less fortunate..good job apl and your elitist plans like the $500 increase for Macbook pro and the new Iphone X/Pro whatever,

See this is what happens when people just keep buying at whatever price apl assigns at full MSRP, they will not learn and keep pushing ASP up as people balk and leave, the biggest fans will pay anything and they know it. Pretty sad for mini incremental changes and new Colors.

I love the Apl fanboi argment..."But they make the most profit of anyone even with low market share"....Exactly

 

[RoastBeefSammy]

it suggests rumored 3D facial recognition capabilities could supplement rather than fully replace Touch ID"

I'd rather press my finger against the glass than my whole face. How is this an improvement??

 

[DUIduckSAUCE]

This was almost 3 years ago, iphone 6 /6+ were the last iphones with 1gb. Software an apps have become more complicated since than. Why always these stabs from the past?

Because fanboys were saying it was enough on the 6s when it clearly wasn't.

 

[bigjnyc]

I find it hard to believe that Apple will literally deliver on everything the rumor-mill has come up with.

New Sizes
Edge to edge display
no home button
3D camera
OLED
3GB of RAM
new overall design

Just seems like only half of this stuff is possible YoY for innovation's sake. If they do all of this stuff, what will next year's iPhone get?

This! Every year around this time the rumor mill works itself in to a lather with outrageous rumors and claims.... Then Apple releases maybe 1...... or 2 if we're lucky. I can't believe people aren't used to this by now! We are hamsters on a wheel, Apple is going to drip features out slowly like a feeder.
