No, there isn't a good reason, but there's plenty of reasons that Apple will point to

Exactly.
That is an absolute obscene amount of money for a phone (and one that won't even be top of the leaderboards)
With some of the Sim only deals around at the moment keeping your current phone is very hard to resist.
BT have some cracking offers, especially if you and the mrs need to change because they offer discount on multiple plans.
20GB plan is £35 a month for both of you, with a £95 amazon gift card thrown in as well.
Battery recall on the 6S model??
This.
I'll be taking mine in for a fresh battery soon, and going SIM only until the phone actually dies

Usually 50-100 below, I expect £900 for the 64gig.
Tbh cost doesn't bother me that much, I use it so much it probably works out quite cheap per hours use.
Phones are more expensive and the diminishing returns thing has come in to play. The 7plus will have a lot if not more due to touch I'd than the new phone will have.
Anyone buying a phone recently will have a very very good phone. They just have little niches.
Some will always want the latest and greatest but fact is people are keeping their phone way longer. I've just pre ordered my note 8 but had my note 4 for 3 years.

Is £1000 really that much on a phone nowadays though?
For something that you use for 12 hours a day, can do everything with, and with the battery improvements meaning there's no need to change a phone every 12 months anymore (unless you have to have the latest phone), for the cost per use it works out very cheap.

Cheers for that, my 2 year old phone is eligible! I have had this restart issue but just presumed it was a software bug as it doesnt happen too often. Should see me another 2 years with this phone now!

Thats kind of my thinking too. I'll pay it because overall its cheap.
How much do all singing and dancing playstation cost these days?

The top end "8" will be ultra-premium pricing but all the rumours say there will be a 7S-type range too which will be less obscenely priced.
Can't see me changing my SE TBH, had it replaced under warranty a few months ago so it's basically brand new and does everything I want. Maybe if they launch a new SE with upgraded internals and a better screen I might be tempted but I honestly can't see the need for a flagship phone these days.

This, and I think it's because all of the simple innovation has been done already, small improvements in performance or stupid gimmicks are not going to tempt people to spend a grand on the latest model.
Gesture control? Face unlock?
Does anyone actually give a s**t about that rubbish??

This. SE is the best phone about for me. Takes a battering, is quick enough, and small enough to fit in my pocket and it doesn't have the awful round edges!

Rumour is that they want to mark the tenth anniversary with different naming, but then that’s one of those rumours which has come about because it was originally said in the media ages ago and has become nigh-on fact through repetition. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t.
Heard so many variations on it now,
7S, 7S Plus and 8
7S, PS Plus and X
8, 8 Plus and 8 Pro
iPhone, iPhone Plus, iPhone Pro
Now “edition” is in the mix too
TBH I don’t care what they call it, Fred, Wilma and Scooby would work just fine for me, just so long as they don’t call the SE “Scrappy” because I hate that stupid cartoon mutt

Phones are getting hugely expensive. I wonder what providers will do. Wages haven't been increasing so previously providers could spread the cost over a 24 month contract and still offer the affordable monthly cost.
So what happens next. 3 year contract phones ? Phone pcp deals and the provider retains the asset?

A grand is still a huge amount of money! I think phones have gone up in price at a disproportionate rate.. as I was corrected in another thread, the last Xbox was £430 (4 years ago), and this new one coming out is £450.
I looked at my upgrade options for Samsungs the other day, some 24 months plans were near £60 a month.
f**k that kinda money on a phone.
Most people don't replace their telly or laptop every year or two though, a decent laptop will probably do 5 years if not more.
Decent telly will do loads more.

For those yet to achieve CS baller status it's still a fair bit of money, and when you look at the (rumoured) differences between say the 5s (first iPhone with touch ID), they haven't really changed enough to justify nearly a 100% increase in price, they still need to be charged daily and do many of the same things, the 5s can still run iOS11 so they can't be that different.
Fair enough if it's using better materials and is a bit bigger there will be a premium for that, but £400 seems steep. Imo ofc.

i haven't bought a tv for about 5 years. My MacBook Air is 4 years old.
Consumer habits with mobile phones will most probably change.

Yeah I made the move to an S8+ as I knew the large screen iphone 8 would be a stupid price. Pretty chuffed with it tbh the change from ios is nice too as I've had iphones since the 4 and have become pretty bored of it.
When they stop making phone calls?

@brisa4984 - you can rent a phone from Apple iirc.

It doesn't quite work like that though, you don't carry around your TV over those five years, you don't really go out drinking with your laptop using it to take photos etc.
Phones need to be somewhat expendable, which isn't the case at a grand!
