Yeah I'll be keeping my 6 and waiting for them to work the kinks out of a new design. I never need the latest and greatest anyways.

Especially considering built-in obsolescence. I will keep buying cheaper "inferior" LG phones that allow me to swap out the battery and add more memory as needed.

So will this $1,000+ phone still break when I drop it, or is that still not an important feature to have for a $1,000+ phone?

They are reportedly shifting to flexible plastic OLED screens which are shatterproof. I've seen rumors that the back may be glass though, so that'd have the same impact vulnerabilities. But if it's the back it's a lot easier to protect with a case.

I need some scratch resistance.

What would this price increase look like monthly with Next though?

It's only natural that Apple would now switch to actual premium displays since the cost has come down dramatically. Now they can justify a price increase and boost their profit margin since their sales are declining.
It is/was absolutely a scale problem. Apple orders 250 million phone screens per year. When less than 10 custom made machines are able to be manufactured per year that make the entire global supply of OLED displays, adding 250 million screens per year was nye impossible. Not to mention OLED has had its problems with color saturation.
Also, the phone isn't going to start at $1,000. That's just going to be the upper echelon of the pricing tiers.

Which is right around where the 7 is right? So this article was pretty pointless.

I do like my ipads.

Article I saw had a 10 year anniversary iphone at 1k, with 2 other iphones at normal pricing (meaning a plus maxed out would approach 1k).

Where can I find a decent new truck for $40k? Maybe in 2010....

You watch. They'll add a god damned touch bar with emojis to the back of the phone and call it a modern marvel. I've been an Apple fanboy for years, but this shite is getting downright depressing.

What's the point of making it super thin if I have to put a case on it.

I'm sure a TON of morons will buy....instead of course, of getting the same features in an android with half the price....
Idiots will always be idiots. Apple is fools gold and continues to trick the clowns that they "need" all new stuff and peripherals.

No, the question you should be asking is "What's the point of making it super thin if the battery life is still really bad."

Are they skipping the 7s and going straight to the 8?
