The problem is their inferior storage options mean it is just a $30 difference between the 64GB iPhone 8 Plus and 128GB iPhone 7 Plus - a tricky choice for some. ![]() ![]() iPhone 7 Plus - new prices: 32GB ($669), 128GB ($769)Īlso making things interesting is Apple’s $100 reduction of the iPhone 7 Plus which now comes in just two storage levels for a more budget friendly $669 and $769.Typically where Apple gives it also takes, so 2017 sees the iPhone 8 Plus double its entry level storage (from 32GB to 64GB) but increase its starting price and lose 2016’s oh-so-popular 128GB ($869) sweet spot: Storage And Price - Better Base, Higher Costs I suspect Apple’s upcoming ‘AirPower’ wireless standard will improve power delivery when it arrives in 2018, but this is likely to be expensive and incompatible with Qi’s existing 15W standard. Meanwhile wireless charging only works at 5W when Qi typically works at 7W and even has a fast 15W standard supported by rivals such as Samsung.
