Apple is set to launch the three new iPhone models on September 12Pre-orders will reportedly begin three days laterKuo blames Samsung for rumoured high prices of iPhone Edition
The new iPhone models are all set to be unveiled on September 12, and for the first time, the event will be held at the Steve Jobs Theater on the Apple Park campus. The anticipation is understandably high, given Apple is celebrating ten years of the iPhone, and everyone is expecting big things from the Cupertino giant. The spotlight is going to be on the anniversary iPhone rumoured to be called the iPhone 8, iPhone X, or iPhone Edition. Leaks have been numerous, and fresh ones indicate that the new models will go on pre-order as soon as September 15. Furthermore, KGI Securities' Ming-Chi Kuo also has released a fresh note indicating that the new anniversary iPhone's prices are very high due to Samsung's monotony in OLED display panels as of now.
Starting with the launch information, German website Macerkopf claimsthat pre-orders of all the three 2017 iPhone models - recently rumoured to be called iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone Edition - are expected to begin on September 15 i.e., three days after the launch event. A previous rumourindicated that the iPhones would go on sale on September 22, giving fans a week to pre-order the phone and become early adopters.
The iPhone 8 / Edition / X is expected to sport a bezel-less OLED display panel, while the other two iterative updates are going to stick to LCD panels. A fresh report from Kuo, published by 9to5Mac, claims that the price of the anniversary iPhone is going to be very high solely because of OLED display. Because Apple has to rely on Samsung solely for OLED display supply, the South Korean giant is charging a huge amount for the order. This has forced Apple to increase the price of the smartphone, something that it doesn't desire to do, but it reportedly has no option left. Apple is rumoured to price its OLED iPhone starting at $999
