iPhone 8, how much it costs and how many will pay the price for the new smartphone, we learn from a new study that presents a rather difficult future for the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, if the rumors are true in September. Until now it has been speculated that the iPhone 8 will cost over 1100 dollars, or euros, but no one knows for sure if Apple will choose to launch such an expensive smartphone, or if it will think seriously in the end.
iPhone 8 is so important that the well-known British bank Barclays did a recent study to see how many people would be willing to pay over 1000 dollars for a smartphone. To everyone's surprise, only 11% of those who participated in the study would be willing to spend this amount of money for the iPhone 8, so you can imagine what is behind such a launch.
iPhone 8 with a price of over 1000 dollars would have been bought by 18% of those who already own an iPhone, and this matters more to those from Apple. Even if only 18% of those who own an iPhone would buy the iPhone 8, we are still talking about a potential of over 100 million sales that the Apple company could generate with this smartphone just thanks to its die-hard fans.
iPhone 8 - how much it costs and how many will pay the price
The iPhone 8 will be too expensive for the rest of the world, as most study participants only want to pay around $580 for a new smartphone. Considering the estimated price for the iPhone 8, it is still about a large percentage of people who would be willing to pay so much money for the basic version of the device prepared by Apple.
The iPhone 8 will be almost as expensive as the most expensive version of the iPhone 7 Plus, but this one also registers slightly lower sales than the others. Only those who have a lot of money at their disposal pay over 1100 euros for an iPhone 7 Plus with 256 GB of storage space, and this does not apply to the vast majority of Apple customers, so the strategy for the iPhone 8 must be thought through.
"Barclays said that just 11 percent of its survey respondents would spend more than $1,000 on an iPhone. Most folks only want to spend $582. The tables turn a hair in Apple's favor among current iPhone owners — 18 percent of consumers who already own an iPhone are willing to spend more than $1,000."
The iPhone 8 could also benefit from substantial subsidies from mobile phone operators to reach an affordable price this fall. Moreover, those from Apple could extend the iPhone sales program in installments so that more people will be convinced to buy the iPhone 8 in the fall, so it is announced to be an extremely interesting period for those from Cupertino.
