My understanding was the USD $1K mark was for the cheapest. If they were introducing a luxury version I wouldn't be so upset.

- alistairSH 9y agoI thought the rumor-mill had Apple introducing two phones tomorrow - the 7 replacement AND the expensive phone. The naming conjecture has muddled the discussion a but, I think.
- dhimes 9y agoI see. I guess I was confused by this: (FTA:) "The company will also enter new territory on price: The latest phone will start at about $1,000, compared with the $769 minimum for its current top phone, the iPhone 7 Plus." So they are comparing 'top' to 'top' here. Got it.
- alistairSH 9y agoYeah, I think that's just comparing current top to new top. My guess is we get a 7 replacement (named 7S or 8) and an ultra-premium (named 8 or iPhone Edition). Or, maybe not, and there is no real 7 replacement. Just the ultra-premium, and the 7 stays on as the mid-level, maybe with $100 price reduction (and the 6S is retired).
