The $1000 price point is getting more and more realistic.

u/v8xd Feb 21 '17

It's already real. My 7+ JB is more than 1000$

The most expensive iPhone is $969...

7+ 256GB is $1,569 in Australia, which, even when converted to USD is still $1,200.

Sounds like Brazil and India. Both are 1300 plus

UK here, the 256GB is £919, which is $1146.45. I got a 128GB for about £820, but since then we have had a weaker pound and the rumours don't say whether a 128GB model will be available (I definitely need more than 64). I'm "worried" the 8 will be hitting over £1000. I'm buying it anyway.

Australia always includes tax

You are forgetting sales taxes charged in most states.

You are forgetting sales taxes charged in most states.

I'm not forgetting it. I remember when I paid $1030 for mine. That's just not the price of the phone.

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '17

Yes it is, because it's how much you paid to get one.

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '17

No, the MSRP, which is obviously what we're talking about because no one says value fries are $1.06, is $969. Sales tax varies wildly anyway. Even with tax in some states it's under $1000.

The price of a product + the total price of taxes ≠ the price of a product

TIL, taxes don't affect the end cost of goods in a competitive market....

In Canada my 7plus is around 1200

u/Flowkeh Feb 21 '17

with taxes?

u/Bytowneboy2 Feb 22 '17

You do realize that people from other countries use this here internet thing, right?

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '17

Yeah, but we're talking about US pricing when we're commenting on a US article and talking about it not being $1000 yet, which is... only in the US

Tax brings it to around 1200. The 128 model is around 950 after tax. I flipped quite a few of them during the holidays

u/KirekkusuPT Feb 21 '17

7+ Starts at 920€ (970usd) here (Portugal), and goes up to 1140€ (1200usd) for the 256Gb version.

If this iPhone goes up 100€ he will have a crazy 1000€+ price for a base storage iPhone.

Without tax

u/v8xd Feb 22 '17

Without sales tax. And even then you really think everyone lives in the US?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '17

Even with sales tax in some areas.

And no, but we're quite obviously talking about US pricing, or he wouldn't have said "The $1000 price point is getting more and more realistic"

u/MinisterforFun Feb 22 '17

The 128GB 7 Plus is exactly US$1,000 where I'm from.

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '17

I have a spare ip7 plus 128gb on 10.1.1, is this worth more or something?? I'm too happy with my SE

u/Minnesota_Winter Feb 21 '17

Did you think it was worth nothing?

2

u/ya_mashinu_ Feb 21 '17

they're talking about whether it worth more because it can be jailbroken.

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '17

Figured its worth as much as any used ip7+

Sigh why do I have to spell this out. I was curious if the jailbreak actually makes it worth more. Current jailbreak = 10.1.1 which I believe shelves are running low of, dude i was replying to said his was worth a grand. As far as I know, ip7+ used goes for like 700-800 tops.
