With just a week left for the Apple iPhone 8 to debut, the tenth anniversary iPhone might shock fans with its pricing. With a predicted price of $1,199, the iPhone 8 translates to Rs. 76,700 in terms of the Indian price.
Benjamin Geskin posted the probable prices for this year’s iPhone, and the storage variants show a big difference in price between them. The Apple iPhone 8 may come with 64GB, 256GB, and 512GB models. This means that the good old 32GB and 128GB are out of the picture.

According to leaks by Benjamin Geskin, the iPhone 8 64GB variant will be priced at $999 (Roughly Rs. 64,000). The bigger 256GB variant will be available for $1,099 (Roughly Rs. 70,400), and the 512GB variant will go for a whopping $1,199 (Roughly Rs. 76,880).
This puts the iPhone pricing and memory very intricately. While you pay $100 (Roughly Rs. 6,040) extra for upgrading from a 64GB to 256GB variant, you end up paying $100 more to double up the storage from 256GB to 512GB.
