iPhone 8 it could cost over 1000 dollars at the time of launch on global markets, and here we are talking about a minimum starting price for the new Apple smartphone. The very high price of the iPhone 8 would be based on the fact that Apple intends to use only premium components for its new smartphone, but theoretically this is what it does with every new model.
The iPhone 8's OLED screen will be much more expensive than standard LED screens, but an increase in RAM memory, storage space and the implementation of wireless charging would increase the price. At the moment, the iPhone 7 Plus with 256 GB of storage space costs over 1000 dollars, and the iPhone 8 with similar features could be just as expensive.
It is very hard to believe that Apple will sell the iPhone 8 in models with less than 128 GB of storage space, but since the iPhone 7 Plus 128 GB costs 950 dollars, what if the iPhone 8 costs 1000? The price difference is small and Apple will charge a very high price for the iPhone 8, which it will justify through the premium components used, or the investments in development.

In terms of design, it seems that the iPhone 8 looks like a thin piece of glass with no elements to interrupt its fine and curved lines. Moreover, the fingerprint reader would be relocated under the screen, and the sensors of the front panel would have exactly the same location, as many people expect, even a few months ago.
The new virtual Home button for the iPhone 8 is still in development, but will be ready for release in the fall, but the rest of the buttons could also be removed. Yes, you read that right, Apple would like to remove the volume and power buttons of the iPhone 8, all to make the smartphone look as beautiful as possible for customers.
"It remains unclear how the technology will be applied, however. It could be used to recognize the user's face for authentication. It could also be used in the camera to provide better image resolution. It could even be used in some form of augmented reality application, according to our source."
For the iPhone 8, Apple is also developing a technology for 3D scanning of objects, which can be used for facial recognition when unlocking, or other functions for augmented reality. Finally, we find out again that the 5.8 inch screen and the glass case will be supported by a metal structure, the whole design being an exception.
