I hope you've been saving up for the next iPhone.
Goldman Sachs said in a research note Thursday that the iPhone 8 could start at a whopping $1,000. The next iPhone will boast a 5.8-inch display with OLED technology and 3D-sensing augmented reality capabilities, the firm said. That reaffirms many of the rumors that have been floating.
"With only four months left until launch, we believe Apple has now locked down the design," Goldman Sachs analyst Simona Jankowski said in her note.
If you can't swing the pricey iPhone 8, there's still the rumored iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus, which will likely have similar pricing to the current phones, which start at $649. Jankowski doesn't believe the 7S and 7S Plus will get the OLED display, and said the features will be similar to this generation, aside from a faster processor and potentially larger battery.
An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment.
