According to The New York Times, the almost bezel-free iPhone we've been hearing about for the last several months will sell for "around $999", about $350 more than the standard iPhone does today.
The new iPhone 8 is expected to come with some wonderful features: a bigger screen, wireless charging capabilities and facial recognition to unlock the device, according to The New York Times.
CTS, located on Progress Way in Harrison, helped make the first water-resistant iPhone and Apple Watch.
The price hike may be extreme for some, yet carriers will ease the pain by spreading the cost over a two-year contract.
Apple is all set to launch its most awaited iPhone. It has always been rumored that Apple would build its own 4K TV, and supposedly it had begun testing a model a few months ago.
In other news, Apple CEO Tim Cook appeared at the Capital Factory tech incubator in Austin today and said the company's App Development with Swift curriculum will roll out to more than 30 community college systems this year. Bit by bit, info is starting to leak out about the soon to be released iPhone 8 and the changes could be revolutionary for the modern cell phone.
The said 4K resolution will provide the pictures on the Apple TV with more details and its HDR capabilities will add on more vivid colours on the screen. Still, the increase in price will have you shelling out over 50% of what you have to pay for the 4.7-inch iPhone 7. With inflation, the $499 retail cost of the earliest iPhone model would equate to just $590 in 2017, indicating that Apple has purposefully raised the prices of its flagship device. The iPhone 8 is likely to start at 64GB, a size not available for the iPhone 7. This camera will act as an iris scanner, but it will do so much more than that. There could also be a bigger play here from Apple. Moreover, Apple has reportedly incorporated several new features on the device which includes a 3D face recognition unlock, fingerprint sensor behind the display, OLED screen, and wireless charging.
Employees at Foxconn recently confirmed that the iPhone 8 would keep the Lightning connector rather than the reported USB C, as well as feature wireless charging.
