Expectations for the iPhone 8 are very high. The tenth anniversary iPhone (next year will be ten years since the launch of the first iPhone) is going to have a very difficult time not to disappoint with everything that is being talked about it. And we haven't even started 2017 yet. As if that were not enough, now the information assures that the iPhone 8 will beat the sales record that is in the hands of the iPhone 6, with about 150 million units sold next year, which is not bad considering that it is expected to go on sale in September. Some features such as wireless charging will be the stars, and contrary to what was said at first, it seems that it will be present in all models, not just at the top of the range.
It is said that there will be three models for 2017, of which two will be equivalent to the current iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, with the same screen size and the same dimensions but with new materials, such as a glass back and a metal chassis. . The other model will be completely new, with an AMOLED screen and curved, and according to rumors it could lack frames, as it seems that fashion now imposes. This iPhone 8 AMOLED would be the most expensive model, and it would have some exclusive functions, But wireless charging won't be one of them, because all three models will. What we don't know is if the wireless charger will be included in the box or not, or if it will be included in all models. Apple may go for the conventional charging cable for the "cheapest" devices and reserve the charger for the "Top" iPhone.
Much is also said about the screen size of the iPhone 8 AMOLED. Dispense with the frames would allow you to increase the screen size to 5,8 inches, but it may be that with the curved edges the touch surface is smaller, not exceeding 5,2 inches. Be that as it may, it will be very difficult to reach 150 million units, considering that the iPhone 6 sold 120 million in that period and taking into account that there are not so many new markets to expand.
The news itself is amazing, people are looking to save to buy an iPhone 7 and these futurologists are saying that the iPhone 8 will sell more than the 6, I hallucinate. 1 year ago I bought the iPhone 900s plus 6gb for 64 euros and I still haven't gotten 20% of what the mobile can offer me. I do not believe it. so much consumerism, 1 year ago I stood up. They can already get the 7 on the 7s on the 8 on the 8s that I don't care. these Apple every year wants us to spend 1000 euros on a mobile. I no longer get caught, and that I had the 3 the 3gs the 4 the 5 the 5s and the 6 checking accounts I will have spent about 5000 euros for the apple coffers. are we crazy or what?
The shit of the year ... if they take out 3 models and one of them with amoled and curved, the others will eat them with potatoes, apart from that they will not have stock until the next 3 months as is happening with the jetblack model and that is a color ... in short I hope and wish that they do not make that abnormality
Marcos Cuesta, you are not exactly the one best suited for lessons in consumerism and saying that they are not going to sell what they have in mind. In my opinion there are not many people who buy mobile phones at "your pace", however there are many other people who do not have the latest Apple model and we wait to buy the 8.
In my case I am very clear that I will be a possessor of the iPhone 8. Until now I have had 3G and currently 4s… ..waiting for the longed-for 8 !!!
I believe that everyone will know how they spend their money. But the truth is that I'm sick of them putting their hand in my pocket. I have used more equipment for more than 20 years, but when you pay so much money for a device (I live in Canada and here you have to add steep taxes to the already high prices), at least I would like Apple to respect our investment and not expire the teams that people put so much money on.
Now they just announced that they will expire MacBooks from 2011, for example. Why? And the people who paid 2000 dollars for one of those computers and still use it because it works well, should they go buy a new one?
You have every right to be a fan of Mac or whatever you want. I was, but I'm starting to get tired of the abuse of this brand.
I bought the first iPhone in October 2007 and I plan to buy the iPhone of 2017, for sure.
