Heres What We Think the Price Tag Will Be on Apples New iPhone
Apple is getting ready for a keynote on September 12, where the company is expected to announce a new line of iPhones. Ahead of the event, one of the biggest questions on everyone's mind is what will the new iPhone's price tag be?, Apple is expected to announce a special 10th anniversary iPhone, currently thought to be called the iPhone 8 or iPhone X. This next-gen iPhone is set to come with a number of new features, including an edge-to-edge screen and facial recognition. It may also be missing a conventional Home button. The New York Times has reported that this model could end up costing as much as 999. However, the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus models that are also predicted to be announced will likely have a lower price, for those who don't want to spend close to 1,000. When the iPhone 7 was announced in September 2016, prices started at 649. Prices for the slightly upgraded and physically larger iPhone 7 Plus model started at 749. Apple also launched its iPhone Upgrade Program when it debuted its iPhone 6s line in 2015, which allows customers to get a new iPhone each time Apple releases one for just over 30 a month the price varies in accord with model configurations, say picking one with more memory. It's unclear if the iPhone 8 will be included in this program, or if Apple will restrict it to only the new iPhone 7s models.
