Analyst Confirms $1,000 iPhone 8 Due In September

Not too long ago, an inside source claimed to have knowledge about Apple's next iPhone, stating that the phone would have the largest price tag yet.

According to the insider, Apple will price the iPhone 8 starting at $1,000. Now Simona Jankowski, a Goldman Sachs analyst has informed clients in a new report that this will indeed be the price. "We expect the iPhone 8 to have 128GB and 256GB models priced at $999 and $1,099, respectively." The analyst also expects two accompanying models to debut along with the iPhone 8: the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus. Pricing for the base models of those devices are expected to carry over from the current ones.

Currently, this is how the analyst expects Apple to price its new handsets:

Apple iPhone 8 - $999 and up
Apple iPhone 7s Plus - $769 and up
Apple iPhone 7s - $649 and up

Lastly, the Goldman Sachs analyst expects the Apple iPhone 8 to include:

5.8-inch OLED screen.
No bezel, all screen.
3D sensing.
Better, faster memory.
Capacity starting at 128 GB.
A11 processor.
No home button.
Bio-metric authentication.

"With only four months left until launch, we believe Apple has now locked down the design.” the analyst said. So it looks like we'll have to wait until September to see what the tech giant has in-store for us.

2017 iPhone SE Image Leak Reveals Design Changes

For those who are unfamiliar, Apple's iPhone SE is the pumped up version of their iPhone 5/5s. The company confirmed that the SE stands for Special Edition, due to this smaller-sized phone receiving some of the same specs as the iPhone 6s. With a highly anticipated refresh from Apple's iPhone 8 later this year, who would've thought that they'd want to refresh this model as well?

According to a new image leak, that seems to be the case. The image reveals the 2017 iPhone SE under model number ACN79. It appears that this phone will be made out of Ion-X glass with a single camera setup. Oddly enough, Ion-X glass is the same material used for Apple Watch Sport. There are also two holes shown, seemingly one is for the camera while the other is for the flash. Notice how the camera and flash are now aligned vertically, instead of horizontal.
This iPhone SE leak may have reaffirmed previous rumors of the company using the same material as the Special Edition Apple Watch and having a vertical camera setup for the iPhone 8 as well.

Additional details about the next-generation iPhone SE are still a mystery. However, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference starts June 5, so if it's presented there, then we could be close to finding out everything about it.
