The thing I don't understand about this is, who would buy the 7S if the 8 is also available (or is going to be shortly after)? I get there a budget conscious people, but wouldn't they just opt for a iphone 6S or 6 on a deep discount or even an iPhone SE?
This. The article didn't really explain why, other than "reasons". From a marketing and sales perspective why release an iphone 7s and 8? "Because technologies" isn't a reason.
Because no OLED screen maker would be able to meet Apple's demand for screens if they updated both 7s and 7s+ to OLED. If they produce a limited edition, more expensive 8 model with OLED, new materials, and new tech it won't kill the supply chain. By fall of 2018 they would be able to go all OLED on all models.
But why introduce a third model just to add OLED to some of the product line? Why not limit OLED to the Plus?
"why Apple is likely to release both an 'iPhone 7s' and 'iPhone 8' this year"
...because no one wants to buy an iPhone 8 SE....
I do.
I really want a phone with the small form factor of an iPhone SE, but state-of-the-art innards and camera (and 3D Touch!).
Check out his other posts. He's just trolling.
I know. But he's really bad at it, since his posts are defeated with a single-line argument. No interpretative wiggle-room for him. So I obliged. Fish in a barrel.
