I voted no....but I really stopped to think about it. I use my phone for pretty much everything, I use it more than any other device ever... music, social media, camera, internet, spreadsheets, buying and selling stocks, communicating with family and friends, watching movies and shows on my commute, reading books, the list goes on and on... I mean just about everything I do on a daily basis is on the iPhone. When you think about how important the device is and how much you can do with it, the current $969 that I paid seems like a bargain to be honest.... But as is human nature a number that high seems like too tough of a pill to swallow so there's that.
And you can do all that on a iPhone 6 and 6+ still.
 
These huge and massively expensive "phones" as the only new/top end options is such a turn off.
Remember when making something small and sexy was considered a premium feature too?

Agreed.

90% the reason I moved to Iphone from Android is they have no smaller sized phones. I like my Iphone7 (4.7) because it is so damn easy to carry around. Fits in my shirt pocket! Try that with a Note 8. Whats with all the fricking fablets? Would be nice to have a better choice of size in our selections.
 
What if iphone 8 cost 15,000$ like apple watch gold edition , that will shock everybody :cool:
 
no. not for an 8.
but for what a 9 could have in terms of hardware features coupled with an even more advanced feature iOS, then yes.
probably a model 9 iPhone (2018 September) will definitely have value appeal of around 1500 USD.
 
A phone that expensive is nothing for me. I want a good phone with a reasonable price tag,that does what I need it for. Right now,I'm satisfied with my iPhone 6.
 
Absolutely ridiculous price. If it does turn out to be this expensive I'll just wait a year or two and get it for a few hundred on eBay.
 
I believe it won’t end well if Apple doesn't price the 8 closer to its competition. I see people mentioning the price differences with the watch, but those price increases were based on the material and not the actual functions or capabilities of the device. I feel like phones are a different business and don’t see many people paying double for similar features.

Will there be a 128GB model? There isn't on new iPads.

hoping the rumours are unfounded, i sucked it up with the iPad albeit the 256GB was more than i would ever need . I am simply not falling in with their extortion under the guise of giving me value for my ££££s:rolleyes:

Could be 128 and 512 as well if they have less models than 7S.
