iPhone 7 and 7 Plus prices allegedly leak ahead of unveiling

A key factor for many prospective buyers will be how much the latest duo costs. Those in China, apparently, can be expected to pay the following amounts for the various configurations:
iPhone 7
32 GB – ¥5288 ($790)
128 GB – ¥6088 ($910)
256 GB – ¥7088 ($1060)
iPhone 7 Plus
32 GB – ¥6088 ($910)
128 GB – ¥ 6888 ($1030)
256 GB – ¥7888 ($1180)
The USD values are mere exchanges of the Chinese numbers, and so don't necessarily reflect the prices Apple will charge at launch in the States. Prices tend to vary dependent on market, too, so straight-up currency conversion is not entirely useful in this case.
To give some context, though, the 16 GB iPhone 6s costs ¥5288 in China — the same alleged price as the 32 GB iPhone 7. Likewise the 64 GB retails at ¥6088 — the same figure that prospective buyers may be expected to shell out for its 128-gig version of its successor. If the leak is accurate, only the new 256 GB versions of the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus will incur a fee for their storage double-ups. The top-end iPhone 7 could cost an extra ¥200 ($30), while the iPhone 7 Plus maxed-out at 256 GB could run up an additional ¥100 ($15).
Does this mean that Apple will simply give the cheapest and middling iPhones double memory and charge exactly the same price across the board? It certainly doesn't — there aren't any guarantees that this will even occur in China. With that said, it doesn't mean it can't happen either, so here's hoping that the extra flash memory doesn't prompt a major price hike.
We'll surely keep you informed on any further info regarding the iPhone 7 duo as we close in on the launch, so stay tuned.

So 128gb instead of a 64gb, for relatively the same price. I like that.

LOL. Remember Apple Liam? You get the same hardwares from old iPhones embedded into iPhone 7. I don't get why their smartphones are overpriced.

So according to the second picture, the Apple iPhone 7 will look like an Exynos 7 SoC render...?

Just get the 6s once the update comes out you'll have all the software features as the iphone 7. That's a waste of money, no headphone jack, all you gain is a f1.9 camera vs f2.2. Possibly better water resistance, that's it. We'll see what they do, though. I don't have high exceptions of cool features.

I don't like the idea of them ditching the headphone jack. I see the convenience of Bluetooth headsets but I'm not going to spend a ton of money on a good pair unless it's worth it entirely.

The problem is in the principal. Why take something away you need an can use only to resell the same thing back to you? There will be an adapter, sure? What if you lose it? Or you can rebuy lightning headphones. It sounds like a scam to milk people.
Its the same as their $100 storage upgrade they know 16gb isn't enough so you can pay $100 for 48GB. It's all a scam its not whats best for the customer, but whats best for Apple pockets.

The problem is, those dual firing speakers are on the same side.

I'm keeping an eye on the Nexus and the iphone launches. More than likely I will be holding on to my 6P and waiting until next year unless the new nexus turns out to be substantial.

I think the one that needs to learn how to read is you. He was talking about the non plus iPhone 7. It still comes with the low resolution HD display, even though it is giving you an extra 16gb of storage, a slightly newer camera, no 3.5 mm Jack, slightly larger battery. For the extra $130. It's not worth it.

Those are Chinese prices for the iPhone, which is the same as iPhone 6s. But you get upgraded storage. In the US it will cost the same as previous model, in the the U.K. it will cost the same as the previous model.
Read. Comprehend. Connect the dots.

My mistake. I'm not ignorant. Just made an error, but my point stands.

Wow, just checked it, they are talking about Chinese. Why did this guy get off on me being ignorant - he's the one being ignorant than. And not knowing and going with it is being ignorant - I guess he's being a hypocrite as well.

Nope, you need to read this again xD The entry iPhone 7 will cost the same in China as the 6s, therefore the price won't go up. (Also keep in mind that prices in China are higher than US, so iPhone in US costs 650$ = and in China it costs 790$)

I don't understand why we have to explain it - EVEN THE DAMN article points it out. The 256gb is the only one that will add $15 to the + model and $30 to the regular model - but you're doubling on the 128gb and it's a "built-in" storage which is light years faster and extremely more dependable than the most expensive external storage solutions.
