iPhone 8 to be called iPhone Edition; Apple currently testing prototypes (you will get the pictures

Apple has been pretty quiet about its upcoming releases, so those who look forward to the next iPhone only rely on insider reports. The upcoming handset has been unofficially called a number of things, including iPhone 8 and iPhone X. Now a new report says the next Apple flagship could be called the iPhone Edition, and it’s going to be rather expensive.

Apple may reportedly call this year’s so-called iPhone 8 by another name. The premium smartphone, which is projected to be launched together with the iPhone 7s and the iPhone 7s Plus at a special event scheduled for September, is now apparently going to be called the iPhone Edition. The name reportedly signifies the handset’s higher end status, which is what the Mac maker also did with the Apple Watch

Price

Previous reports have indicated that the iPhone 8 / iPhone Edition model could have a price tag that reaches upwards of US$1,000 (AU$1,328). This year marks the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, which is why it was previously thought that the 2017 model might be called the iPhone X. Fans are expecting that the special anniversary edition iPhone will be full of new features never before seen in previous models.
