The iPhone 7 Plus is Apple’s current flagship smartphone. The iPhone 8 is the 10th anniversary edition of the iPhone as a brand and device. Hence, unlike the iPhone 7 Plus whose design has become familiar, the iPhone 8 is a hot topic for discussion. We did an article recently where we talk about what we know about the iPhone 8 so far. Keeping that as our base for iPhone 8-related information, we think a comparison between the two will be inevitable in the future. After all, a new iPhone means the old ones become cheaper. With that said, let’s kick off this iPhone 8 vs iPhone 7 Plus comparison.
iPhone 8 vs iPhone 7 Plus Price
| iPhone 8 Price (expected) | Rs 80,000 |
| iPhone 7 Plus Price | Rs 72,000 – Rs 92,000 |
We all know how steep the pricing of iPhone 7 Plus is. Reports suggest the iPhone 8 may come for $1,000 or even more. Going by current conversion rates, that comes out to be Rs 64,200 (conversion rates subject to change).When it comes to India, taxation and duties will inflate its price even further. So, a tag of Rs 80,000 does not seem to be that off the mark. On the other hand, the iPhone 7 Plus already costs up to Rs 92,000. So, if the iPhone 7S Plus is indeed coming expect its prices to come down by Rs 15,000 at max. In essence, neither phone’s price will be approachable to a large number of people. So, calling this round of iPhone 8 vs iPhone 7 Plus a tie will not be a bad idea at all.
