Iphone 8, so i guess it's for the iphone "7s"
The more I think about this release the more it's looking like a big clusterf&$k. The 7S are supposed to be Apple's premium flagship phones, but now we have another next generation released right along side it? I know it's just a name, but releasing a special 10th anniversary X or Edition iPhone seems a lot better than releasing the iPhone 8 right next to new 7 models.

Perhaps since they're all getting design tweaks they'll all be called iPhone 8. I like that idea.
More interesting than the name I think is the 64GB (if this is indeed real). The iPhone 7 was the first time in 7 years the base iPhone moved from 16GB (to 32GB). Would be strange to see the base jump again so quickly. 32 and 128 were such good options (for Apple) as 32 was enough as a base, but getting quadruple the storage for $100 more is such an easy sell. Hmm.
Its probably done to accommodate the $999 Edition, so instead of selling the 256GB 8+ for $969, they're selling it for -$100, which is $869, and selling the Edition for +$30, which is $999, as it wouldn't make sense to sell the 8+ for $969 and Edition for $999, now you have two phones in the same price range ($900-$1000) with only a $30 difference.
Also storage prices are falling.

It's gonna be more than a little funny if they call the 7S the 8
Really reaching there, Apple.
