iPhone 8 is on its way to being really great. After a few years, it has Apple come up with both a new design andoneIt will also come with new features. A completely new design and a chassis made of glass and steel are expected. So far, we know that it would iPhone 8 (iPhone Edition) could have a curved display, Touch ID in the display, a top-notch processor or the most powerful mobile graphics chip of all time.
As for the design, the upcoming flagship model should reportedly have a curved display, albeit a recent one message od Macrumors claims that this will not be the case. According to the latest reports, everything indicates that iPhone The 8 won't be a cheap device - according to new reports, the base version will cost around $1000. But why is it so expensive?
The question has now been partially answered by DigiTimes, which published a report yesterday that the production of one OLED display supporting 3D Touch technology will be $6 more expensive, which is about a 60% increase compared to the production cost of a 3D Touch display for iPhone 7 to iPhone 7 Plus. So, in order to Apple kept the margins, the price of the phone will have to go up as well.

DigiTimes specifically reported that OLED iPhone will use a new thin touch layer for touch sensing. The report also said that the manufacturer will not start shipping the layer until the fourth quarter of this year, which suggests that iPhone 8 will arrive on the market later than its siblings (iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus).
The report also states that the OLED panel will need a new type of sensor for the aforementioned 3D Touch. The new 3D Touch modules will require a more complex manufacturing process, which in turn willoneAs a result, it will make production more expensive. For a concrete idea, the production of the 3D Touch module is currently at iPhone 7 to iPhone 7 Plus 9 dollars.

Other reports and leaks are also surrounding the display.

Well, even if the production of the display cost $20, so what... They will make it a $300 thing... No comment... Bye Apple... Nokia is coming back :-)
So does that mean it will be $6 more expensive? Rough
I don't want a curved display and I don't want such a big monstrosity either. I hope the iP SE successor will be a normal size with a normal display.
That's good, at least not everyone will have it :D
But probably Apple doesn't he want
Do you think? Also, if someone wants it and doesn't have the money, can they buy it in installments or borrow (rent) it from some big electronics retailer?
On the other hand, what is being written so far is just guesswork, nobody knows anything yet, everybody just wants to be smart?
Moneylenders are already washing their hands when they lend money for those supposedly revolutionary iPhones. About which there are only speculations, in the style that a wish is the father of an idea :-)
iPhones are starting to become even more overpriced pieces of shit!
You pay for quality, but you probably don't understand that
There won't be a curved rear display.. I can already see how Apple shits and says "Fuck, that ace seven from Samsung is really cool. What about putting our logo on it and burning it for three fives? It will be wireless, isn't everyone going to buy that??''
I really enjoy these speculations :))
Just speculation
"So far we know that iPhone 8 (iPhone Edition) could have a curved display, Touch ID in the display…” … I've heard this before with the 6S and the 7, and it never happened anyway….
