Apples iPhone 8 May Cost 1000
Those planning to line up for Apple's expected top-of-the-line smartphone might want to start saving. The premium version of the new iPhone, which Apple is set to unveil on September 12, may cost around 999, according to a new report from The New York Times. That would make the new iPhone cost over 300 more than the 649 iPhone 7, and about 230 more expensive than the 769 iPhone 7 Plus. It's unclear whether the 999 figure refers to the iPhone's starting or maximum price Apple typically offers iPhones with different storage options, with additional storage usually adding about 100 to the price. It's not the first evidence indicating Apple's high-end phone may cost nearly 1,000 Fast Company previously reported the same, saying that a special tenth anniversary edition model would have a price tag "very likely north of 1,000." This 999 version may be a special model launched alongside two other new 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhones, as Bloomberg reported.
