iPhone 8 is set to be unveiled at an exclusive media event held in the Steve Jobs Theatre, located in Apple’s new California headquarters, on September 12th.
The next-generation smartphone will sit alongside two iterative updates to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, colloquially dubbed iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus.
The all-new premium iPhone – believed to be named iPhone 8, iPhone Edition or iPhone Pro – is rumoured to ship with a dramatic new industrial design and feature-set.
Unfortunately, Apple looks set to charge a premium for the privilege.
Tipster Benjamin Geskin, who has shared a number of details and leaked components ahead of the iPhone 8 launch, has published the purported retail prices for the new handset.
According to the leakster, Apple will ship three iPhone 8 models with three storage configurations.
The phone with 64GB of inbuilt storage will retail for $999, 256GB for $1,099 and a new 512GB tier for $1,199.
It’s unclear whether these prices factor in US taxes.
Earlier this summer a report from The New York Timesclaimed the new premium iPhone would start from $999, which aligns with these prices from Benjamin Geskin.
Apple’s current smartphone line-up of devices starts at £599 for the iPhone 7 with 32GB of onboard storage, but quickly rises to £919 for the maxed-out iPhone 7 Plus.
This would comfortably place the entry-level iPhone 8 above the most expensive configuration of the other iPhone models.
