I want to see the muppets who'll spend a grand on a 256 GB iPhone if it comes to that. $700 I can see through financing, which is the logical option, but a grand which would likely require downpayment regardless of customer and or credit status.
Got a tip for us?

I must be one of those "muppets" then, but I'll buy unlocked from Apple on day 1, here in the UK.
This i my input on the subject:
Apple isn't a "decrease-price-kind-of-company"
I would say, that base models would increase from 16 to 32 GB without increased price. In that way, it will me more affordable to people. 16 GB just doesn't cut it anymore.
As someone said...Apple should stop stackpiling their money, and invest them in better products, at human pricetags. "We love our customer" as Tim allways says...be he should be saying: "We love our customer, if you got the wallet for it. We charge premium-prices for medium-quality devices"
Don't get me wrong...i should probably get a tatoo over my a.-.h.o.l.e "Property of Apple", cause i love them. I would never buy an Android. But they need to start thinking straight again (that's NOT a gayjoke btw) and really start running Apple like Steve did. Quality. Quality. Quality.
That's my 2 cents about it...

loss margins? Do you even know the pricing increase of 16gb to 32gb in china, when it comes to manufacturing? guess?
I doubt they'll make each jump $150. They've always been $100 increase per tier, and I feel a lot of people would stick with the smaller sizes rather than pay an extra $150. I plan on getting the middle tier if it's $749, but if it's $799, then I'll stick with 32gb and save myself the $150 per phone.
It's always fun to dream.

Wow. You're right. I could be totally off base then. I haven't considered an iPad since I bought my iPad 4 because it still can't do anything my phone can't do. I'm clearly not their target demographic because I have zero interest in upgrading my iPad until it can start functioning as a computer, and it seems positively absurd that anyone would pay an extra $300 to add 200gb of storage to a device where you don't even have access to the file system.
But again, I'm probably not representative of the general population. I also think it's ridiculous that they upped the price of the iPad by $50 for the base model simply because they tagged on the "Pro" name. It's just marketing if you call all your devices "Pro" but you don't have a non-pro model. Why don't they just rename them again "iPad Super Duper Awesome Pro Status Extreme Much Better Than Anything Else Top Shelf Amazing Edition" and raise the price again?
Am I the only one who sometimes tries to do things on my iOS devices but ends up having to go to a PC because it simply won't work on an iPhone or an iPad?
Yes, I guess I'm a dreamer on the cheaper prices. But sometimes dreams come true.
I sometimes use my iPad first because my Air 2 is faster than my iMac 2011. And I can lean back in my chair with the iPad on my lap to read an email. Of course typing a response takes longer, but sometimes I'm just reading attachments off of an email.
Samsung has been increasing the msrp prices on their Galaxy phones.
I remember msrp for att model was $549 for the Galaxy S3. This was 2013.
Apple raised the msrp for iPhone 4 around April 2011(from$599 to $649) which was weird since iPhone 4 has been out since June 2010.
Anyway. The msrp price of the Galaxy s7 for att is $694 now.
I suspect a price increase for the iPhone especially with them leaving the 64gb model and going from 32gb to 128gb to $799 like one of the posters said. And the plus model will have $100 price point difference.

There is now a $120 difference between the regular and Plus models, before it was $100.
