iPhon.fr survey result: an iPhone for more than 1000 euros, possible or heresy? Your opinions are clear!

The now classic Keynote
Apple's fall release could be around a month away. It should be
special this year, since on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, a new
Quite innovative model should be presented on stage. Thanks to a few
rather well-placed informants and other leaks, the robot portrait of
the device was ableclarify these
weeks.

Probably incorporating many new features such as
wireless charging, an OLED screen, face recognition and much more
others, it could be that, apart from the classic increase in iPhone prices of
generation to generation, the iPhone 8 could break all records in terms of
of price.
A recent article saw it easily surpassing the 1,000 euro mark. Ce
figure could make people cringe, it was preciselythe object
from our latest survey. More than 3,300 of you responded and
very many to ignite the comments! Today is the time to
consult the results of the choices and opinions!

The numbers

To the question “are you willing to pay 1,000 euros, or more, for an iPhone 8
?", four answers were proposed: "Yes, I have already put this price in
an iPhone, I'll do it again", "Yes, the machine looks very complete, I
will do if convinced", "No, not the means", or "No, never such a price for a
smartphone".

Of the more than 3,300 responses counted during the writing of this
synthesis, you are43% say they never want to wear such
amount in a smartphone. For 17% it is also no, but for
a reason of financial means and not of principle. This makes3
people out of 5 for whom the answer is no for an iPhone 8 beyond 1,000
euros.

For 13% of people who participated in the survey, it is possible to
give this price, having already done so for a previous model.

Finally, almost 27% of you are waiting to see the characteristics clearly.
to make the purchase, but would not be against such a price, as long as the
machine is worth it.

Comments and analyzes

In the comments, it is less asserted, the two camps having made
to hear quite passionately indeed. In particular, we can read
several times the expression “madness” used to qualify such a price. He
is true that in comparison with a "telephone" from a few years ago, or a
entry-level model, paying in 2017 for a device at this price can be shocking.
Some people think that it is just a matter of "getting even more into the
pockets" for Apple.

This is where the camp of those who justify this price by
after-sales service of certain quality, an investment in R&D, a price
at resale superior to other smartphones on the market, and beyond that, the
fact that heyou have to think more in terms of telephone, but
handheld. A smartphone today is both a console
game, camera, MP3 player internet browser and for some more
only used a computer!

Finally, there are of course more measured comments which hope
that Apple will maintain an accessible range as the iPhone SE currently is,
below the 500 euros mark, while for others, if the iPhone 8 is too much
expensive, they will turn to the iPhone 7s. Unfortunately, also not sure that
the latter find themselves far from 1000 euros, given the prices of
models 7…

In the end, the yes/no debate for an iPhone 8 at 1000 euros or more is passionate,
affecting directly the portfolio and indirectly the possibilities
financial of each. However, only for readers of iPhon.fr, which
form a specific community interested in tech and already possibly
iPhone owner, it's rather no for an iPhone 8 at 1000 euros. The no
will it be more assertive for a more general population? Or the machine
will be able to seduce and make you forget its price? The question remains.

A big thank you to those who took the time to respond!
