Other Which 2018 iPhone Interests You? Price Prediction

[lyceumHQ]

I got the 8 last year. Interested in seeing the price of the smallest phone they release this year.

If it’s £1000 like the current X then the 8 will be my last iPhone.

None of them interest me at present, but we’ll see, they need to have the zoomed view option to be of any interest to me.

And it’ll be..

$750 - 6.1”
$900 or $1000 - 5.8”
$1150 or $1250 - 6.5”

IMO

6.1”. $699 / $849. 64gb/128gb
5.8”. $899/ $1049 64gb/256gb
6.5”. $999/$1149/$1349. 64gb/256gb/512gb.

 

[Kram Sacul]

5.8 - Too soon to uggrade from the X
6.1 - Too cheap
6.5 - Too big

 

[aakshey]

6.1”. $699 / $849. 64gb/128gb
5.8”. $899/ $1049 64gb/256gb
6.5”. $999/$1149/$1349. 64gb/256gb/512gb.

Incorrect.

All phones will have 64 and 256 GB variants.

OLED phones will also have 512 GB variants.

6.1” 699 849

5.8” 899 1049 1299

6.5” 999 1149 1399

6.1 - Too cheap

Wouldn’t that be a refreshing change but I think you’ll be wrong there lol. I have a feeling that devise will start at £699 if we’re lucky with the largest storage tier being £799. I think the previous prices iPhones used to be of £615 are long gone.

You Can’t tell another Member they are “incorrect” when you _don’t_ have verified information of the pricing information yourself. Unless you have a direct source how you could provide what Apple is about to release for pricing and storages, then feel free to post that for everyone else to see.

You’ll see it when it happens. I don’t need to explain anything right now.

Gee, that's a bit harsh Mr. Terminator.
I'm taking your word for it that you've got the low down on the variations and prices.
Quite often I've seen the real info posted in the forums a few weeks prior for various Mac products and people shoot it down, but it often turns out to be real. My gut says you know!

So with that knowledge know locked in, I'm going for the 6.5 with 64GB as I've never run out of space on my 6s 64, so even with bigger photos and video sizes, I can't see me needing more than 64gig. 999 it is! or 120,000yen...

 

[aakshey]

The only thing from that I can guarantee is:

If OLEDs come in 64 and 256 (regardless of whether they also have 512 GB as well or not), then 6.1 will come in at least 64 and 256 as well.

Everything else might be a bit approx or an estimate.

But it is guaranteed that if there is no 128 GB with the OLEDs, then there won't be one for the 6.1 either. The chance of that happening is as as low as the 6.1 being under USD 600. Which is negligible and can be thus considered absolute that it will definitely be over USD 600 or more, just like it will probably have the same capacities as the OLEDs, barring the 512 GB variant perhaps.

Now if the OLEDs get 128 GB, there is a high chance of the 6.1 being 64 or 128 GB whereas the OLEDs might then skip the 64 GB.

It is common sense.

Too optimistic I think, but not long till we find out.

One must be very careful when making assumptions based on ones theory of common sense.

I understand the argument you make in this post. With the price of storage not coming down anytime soon, and IMO Apple's very limited ability to negotiate on NAND storage I feel the 6.1" could be 64/128. While 256 is nice the vast majority of users targeted by the 6.1" rarely approach even 80gb in need. Offering no 256 option on the phone that will account for well over 50% of sales in Q1-Q4 2018-2019 (after the "Cough, Cough" availibility delays) could be a successful strategy to drive more customers to iCloud Services. Further enhancing Services Revenue. Personally I think the 6.5" for 2018 may very well be the last with 3 choices of storage. IMO Apple is looking to move the entire line to 2 storage options. I also can't see 512 on the 5.8". I can see some wanting to carry around large amounts of video not in cloud services with a 6.5" but thats it. It's too easy and affordable to stream ones music these days to have 300 gb of audio on a phone.

Of course these are simply my assumptions. Could be correct, could be incorrect.

6.5

I got one of those dummy ones and it's literally everything I want. I can't wait!!

The more I use the X, the more I like the size.

So, price-wise & size-wise, the 2018 5.8" & 6.1" interest me.

The 6.5" only interests me in terms of how its screen handles content. The more I think about it, the less I desire to carry such a large sized (& weighty) device in my pocket.

I would prefer a 5.4” like the current X.

 

[garethjs]

I’m personally opting for the 6.5, but I think 6.1 will be the clear winner because of the price point and it offers face ID.

When has price point ever determined better sales with iPhones?

The iPhone 6.1 will be similar to the sales of the iPhone 8 last year IMO

Every single poll suggests this

 

[Lyn2012]

Personally I’d like a 5.5” screen, like the Plus phones. Just remove the bezels to leave a smaller form factor with a more useful (IMO) 16:9 ratio screen.

The 6.1” iPhone is rumoured to look like the X and be significantly cheaper. To the average consumer who doesn’t look into features and specs, this will be a new look and affordable iPhone. I’ve read quite a few articles and YouTube Vloggers who expect it to dominate the mainstream this year.

I would imagine Apple will want one of their new devices appealing to the core consumer rather than some of its major markets in Europe especially having old devices like the 6S and 7 outselling the new releases. The X ended up selling well but was also niche in the global sense. Apple need a new mid tier offering to replace what currently exists IMO.

 

[jossix]

Based on current pricing structure this seems very plausible.

hopefully bigger does not mean longer. The x is a long enough phone .

This is interesting. So the predicted 6.5" loses 16:9? This means when viewing most Youtube vids 'zoomed to fit' (fullscreen) on its screen, you'll be losing content, as is with the current X?

If so, that's dissapointing.

 

[puma1552]

I am still infatuated with my 8 and I dread the thought of playing the Apple quality control lottery again (can only get lucky so many times), but right now all phones interest me, but probably the 5.8". The 6.1" would interest me most if it wasn't going to be decontented - I want a flagship again. Although the fact the 5.8" screen is basically just a longer iPhone 8 screen is sort of a turn off - would like a little more width too.

EDIT: I should say if we still have Face ID gen 1 then my likeliness of upgrading drops significantly. I still believe we won't get it until 2019 (similar to the 2 years it took to get Touch ID gen 2), but who knows.

 

[dominiongamma]

Going from an 8 plus to an 5.8. The xl seems so big lol

Meh, you're losing a tiny chunk from one edge. It also depends on what media player you're using. Some stop short of the notch area when zooming. The photos app does this.

A 16x9 screen with a notch would be pretty terrible. At least with the current X's screen it doesn't impede on 16x9 content.

You're currently losing content on at least the top/bottom for most vids.

The impeding notch doesn't bother me when watching Youtube, but the content lost on the edges does. Videos look much nicer displayed on the X's entire screen, but only if you can see everything (bar what the notch covers).

 

[joeblow7777]

I don’t think that any of them interest me based on what I’ve seen/heard. I haven’t heard a compelling reason to replace my 8 Plus, and I didn’t really expect to.

When has price point ever determined better sales with iPhones?.

I never even mentioned ‘sales’, I stated because of the cheaper price point it will be more favored, two things you are confusing that are not mutually exclusive. The consumer. I think it’s fairly obvious the 6.1 LCD iPhone will be more favored if it offers similar capabilities with Face ID and a new form factor to the other models with a cheaper price tag. It’s been rumored for months that the 6.1 LCD iPhone will start approximately between $700-$750 under the more expensive 5.8/6.5.
