iPhone 7/Plus What will be the next Budget iPhone?

[jo.Lo]

Hi folks,
After discontinuing the iPhone SE and making the 7 the new low-end device, what is to expect this fall?

The background of the question is, that my company usually offers the cheapest iPhone as business device and I could probably wait until October with my order.
I really would like to have wireless charging because I could use it in my car, that‘s why I hope for the iPhone 8.

Probably the 8 will take over the 7’s price points this coming September.

Your thread title is probably one of my biggest annoyances, there’s no such thing as a ‘budget’ phone with Apple. They make an entry-level iPhone, which will be the iPhone 8 once the iPhone 7 will be discontinued. That said, the next entry level iPhone in the future Will probably be the 5.4 inch iPhone rumored to be for 2020.

Well, sorry. I‘m not a native speaker and didn‘t think about the correct wording that much

Has there been any statement from Apple or Suppliers yet if the 7 will be removed from the lineup this year?

No statement, but usually one new lineup in one old lineup gone.

You don’t need to apologize, it’s just a common misconception when others label ‘budget’ for an iPhone, when Apple doesn’t manufacture anything budget in the iPhone line up.

As for the iPhone 7, it is absolutely slated to be discontinued this year, being the iPhone lineup is expanding with new models, therefore Apple discontinues the oldest model in their lineup, which would be the iPhone 7.

I don't anticipate seeing anything new this fall as far as budget options are concerned, since that same demographic probably isn't interested in upgrading that often. If the 7 is discontinued, the 8 would probably see a price drop. But I think the XR is the real budget iPhone that also has the latest features.

 

[now i see it]

All the budget iPhones are at Swappa. You can buy any model you want

Agreed, but the 8 series will probably be slightly more expensive due to 64GB base storage, maybe $30-50 more.
