iPhone 8 – Very Expensive Screens on the Black Market

The iPhone 8 has screens sold on the black market at extremely high prices because we are talking about very important components and sought after by buyers.

iPhone 8 has been in full production for several weeks, and this means that all the components of the new smartphone have already arrived at Foxconn and Pegatron, and they have been assembled by the partners Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. So far I haven't seen any video clip of an iPhone 8 assembled and ready to be put on sale, but most likely it won't be very long until that happens.

The iPhone 8 has until then presented what appear to be two real OLED screens that are used for assembly, and their selling price would be a colossal one. According to one of those who keep showing us information about the iPhone 8 before the launch, the screens we see in the images below have a selling price of about 5000 dollars on the black market in China at the moment.

iPhone 8 is an extremely awaited smartphone, and any information available in advance by Apple's competitors, especially by Chinese cloners, is very important. In this idea, the prices for iPhone 8 components stolen from the Foxconn or Pegatron factories are very high, for the Chinese they reach two or three times the annual salary of an employee on the production line.

iPhone 8 is still not unusual from this point of view because the prices were similar in past years for iPhone components and more. More precisely, even the sketches for the new iPhone models can generate similar amounts for those who steal them, so two OLED screens for an iPhone 8 that is a few weeks away from release can end up costing even more.

The iPhone 8 has these OLED screens produced by those from Samsung for the Apple company, the Koreans winning contracts worth several billion dollars. Basically, Samsung, Apple's biggest competitor, knows in advance what kind of technologies those from Cupertino want to use for the iPhone 8 screen, but that won't help them at all now, but only when they launch the Samsung Galaxy S9.

iPhone 8 is to be presented by the Apple company in the middle of next month, but the official launch should take place on September 22. The iPhone 8 should be put on sale at prices starting from 1000/1100 dollars, or euros, but for now there is no consensus regarding the rumors that bring into question the price of the new Apple phone.
