Apple iPhone 8 may not have a release date but it sure has a controversy surrounding it. First things first, the new Apple device faces tough competition from brands like Samsung which are also lining up new launches.

The iPhone 8 has many firsts to its credit and one of these is the OLED screen. The phone is also one of the most anticipated releases of the year. However, its price may put it out of the reach for many Apple fans.

MacRumors claim that the device featuring Apple's most advanced technology till date is actually expected to cost anywhere around 1000 USD. This price tag will put it out of the reach of many gadget lovers. Additionally, the iPhone 8 may end up becoming Apple's most expensive device till date.

Some good news too!

Even though the price makes the phone unaffordable for many, there is a ray of hope for Apple lovers with a smaller budget too. There is a possibility that Apple will release iPhone 8 along with some lower priced versions, Cleveland reports. This lowering in price will also mean that fans will have to let go of some of the features. Whether or not fans are prepared for that is something that only time will be able to tell. It would be interesting to see what are the features that Apple chooses to get rid of.

No release date yet

Apple iPhone 8 release date is not yet confirmed. Apple is currently busy testing various prototypes built around the same technology. Perhaps, they want to identify the best materials that will aid in achieving their goal of mass production for the iPhone 8.

There is a possibility that Apple may choose to break tradition and introduce the budget models before the grand launch of Apple iPhone 8. However, as of now, these details are not confirmed.
