iPhone 8 will be sold by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), at a much higher price than many of the fans who are eagerly awaiting its release on global markets would like. Estimates so far confirm the launch of the iPhone 8 at a price that will be at least 1000 dollars, or euros, much more than what Apple is currently asking for its products.
The iPhone 8 could even cost over 1000 dollars in some markets, including the US, but American analysts have a very interesting theory about how the costs will become affordable. More precisely, mobile phone operators in the US will apply massive subsidies for the iPhone 8 in order to sell smartphones at costs that customers can consciously accept.
The iPhone 8 could cost at least 1000 dollars, so the subsidy will have to be very high to bring the price to a value similar to that offered for the iPhone 7, for example. This means that either it will be necessary to conclude contracts for longer periods to buy the iPhone 8, or higher value subscriptions will be needed to cover the subsidy offered by the operator.
iPhone 8 will have a very high price, but still affordable
iPhone 8 will have a similar treatment not only in the US, but also in Europe, or other areas of the globe, because very few people will afford the cost of purchasing the product. 1000 dollars, or euros, is a very large amount for a smartphone, be it the iPhone 8, so many people will look to buy it at a subsidized price, or with the biggest discounts, otherwise many will not justify the purchase.
iPhone 8 could also have a launch without exceptional sales even from the first weekend because people will be looking to buy it as cheaply as possible. In this idea, Apple will have to convince its partners to offer very good promotions for the iPhone 8 from the very beginning, otherwise it risks realizing that few people are willing to spend a lot of money on a smartphone.
"We believe that Apple has plenty of innovation to add to future cycles, such as AR, machine learning, voice integration, 3D sensing, and optical zoom. We believe US carriers are preparing assertive promotions for the launch."
iPhone 8 with such a high price could be hard to reach in many countries where Apple does not have colossal sales, and here we can discuss Romania. Considering the fact that the price of iPhone 8 in Romania will be high regardless of the situation, at least 700 euros with a subscription of 30-40 euros, it is possible that a small number of units will be allocated for our country for the launch.
iPhone 8 will be sold expensively, but there are still options to make the product affordable, even if it will not be the case from day one for everyone.
