Apple may also be about to phase out the 32GB storage option for this generation, according to a recent report by TrendForce, in favour of 64GB and 256GB configurations.
Want a new iPhone 8?
There has been much speculation as to how much the premium iPhone is going to cost, but thanks to a new report in the The New York Times, that speculation may finally be put to rest.
A study released by the ad company Fluent found that just 13 percent of American consumers said they would buy the new iPhone if it costs more than $1,000. The phone would be packed with 3GB RAM.
As far as the regional variation in the prices of the device is concerned, U.K.is believed to get a price factor corresponding to USA dollars. The new Apple TV will support 4K video and include HDR support, it says.
The component in the image below was posted on Weibo, which usually the source of iPhone leaks like this. However, the 512GB modules will be manufactured by Samsung and SK Hynix. India, on the other hand, might witness an exorbitantly expensive iPhone shipping in the country. We'll keep you updated on the latest. Pacific Global Investment Management CO now owns 72,866 shares of the iPhone maker's stock valued at $8,439,000 after buying an additional 415 shares in the last quarter. Apple may introduce a 3D sensing camera along with this device as well. It would even rival high-end computer prices, with Apple's ultra-slim 12-inch MacBook starting at $1,299.
Significant average selling price growth, coupled with what is likely to be non-trivial unit growth (as Apple taps into the pent-up demand for iPhones with a newer, sleeker design) should drive some nice iPhone revenue growth for Apple in the coming year.
So folks, this is what Apple is cooking inside its kitchen to serve some delicious devices for the real tech enthusiasts.
According to French website Mac4Ever, it states that the official unveiling of the iPhone 8, the iPhone 7s, and the iPhone 7s Plus will take place on September 12 as carriers have been informed by Apple to prepare for the launch.
