And Apple TV. You can already read about each of these Apple products on the Trashbox. Passions subsided, let's now look at the Russian prices of the company's new products.
Apple Watch Series 3
Despite the almost unchanged design, the new generation of Apple smartwatches received a significant update in the form of LTE support. Otherwise, the wearable device has a more powerful processor, improved software based on WatchOS 4, slightly increased autonomy, support for streaming Apple Music directly to headphones, bypassing the smartphone and, of course, new straps.The Apple Watch Series 3 will go on sale September 29, with pre-orders starting September 15. The cost of new items will be from 27,490 rubles, interchangeable straps - from 3,990 rubles.
Apple TV
Apple's set-top box finally gets 4K support and a more powerful A10X processor. Now all content can be viewed in 4K HDR format, which is already quite a lot in iTunes. And in the near future it will be even more, since Apple has an agreement with the largest film studios on this matter. Those who have previously bought HD movies will be pleasantly surprised - the company will upgrade them to 4K resolution for free.
Apple TV 4K pre-orders begin September 15th. The prefix will go on sale at a price of 13,490 rubles with 32 GB of internal memory and 14,990 rubles for the version with a 64 GB drive.
iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus
The "Eights" were replaced by the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, skipping models with the "S" index. For the first time since the iPhone 4s, Apple is returning its glass case (for wireless charging) to its smartphone, updating it with a new processor with a graphics core of its own design, adding support for augmented reality and ARKit.
iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are expected to go on sale starting September 29th. Prices in Russia were distributed as follows:
- iPhone 8 64 GB - 59990 rubles;
- iPhone 8 256 GB - 68990 rubles;
- iPhone 8 Plus 64 GB - 64,990 rubles;
- iPhone 8 Plus 256 GB - 76990 rubles.
iPhone X
The main favorite of the event was certainly the iPhone X or the tenth anniversary version of the iPhone. Apple named it the company's most innovative smartphone and will set the standard for years to come. The device has lost the mechanical Home button and fingerprint scanner, received a frameless design and a new Face ID facial recognition system.
The official Russian price for the 64 GB iPhone X will be 79,990 rubles, the 256 GB version will cost 91,990 rubles. Pre-orders will begin on October 27, the novelty will appear in stores only from November 3.
This year, the new iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X ended up in Russia much earlier than usual - the older model arrived in Russia with the “first wave”. True, this did not have a positive effect on Russian prices, and if before that the price tag for the new iPhones was simply surprising, now the cost of the top-end iPhone X is dazzling. But what about iPhone prices in the rest of the world?
To find out, we analyzed the prices for the iPhone 8 and iPhone X (minimum configurations) in dollar and ruble terms in nine countries, including Russia, and came to very interesting conclusions. Countries are placed in ascending order of price - so the picture looks even clearer.
It turned out that among the countries examined, the cost of the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X in Russia was the highest. It's no secret that not everyone can afford to buy a smartphone for 60-80 thousand rubles, but you want to use the latest technological advances. You can, of course, use the old proven “save up” scheme, but this will probably be delayed at least until the release of the next iPhone, and besides, you want a new smartphone now, and not in a year.
Another way that many have been successfully using for several years is to take your favorite iPhone in installments. A convenient service for the selection of such goods is provided by Home Credit Bank: it has collected all the goods that are most often taken by installments, including household appliances, electronics and, of course, smartphones.
What is the advantage of such a delay? First of all, you are guaranteed to receive an iPhone or any other product for the amount indicated on the site (the price is the same as that of partner stores). No imposed insurance, extra charges and interest - the cost is final. In addition, the installment system is very simple, and you don’t have to go anywhere: you leave an online application, the employee comes with a contract directly to your home or office, after which you already have the coveted smartphone within three days.
So, the iPhone 8 Plus can be taken in installments for six months for only 10,832 rubles per month. In essence, you simply get rid of the need to pay the full amount at once and break it down into equal convenient payments.
Home Credit Bank provides a wide range of products, including smartphones from Apple of previous generations - the same iPhone SE.
And, by the way, it has a convenient application for iOS (link below), where you can see all the products in stock on your mobile device and also leave a request.

People who prefer a brand have long been interested in the question: how much does an iPhone 8 cost? What will be its cost after the release, and how much the price will differ from the previous version. You can find out the opinion of experts on this matter and understand how the price will differ from previous options, what factors will influence it.
Where does the cost of the iPhone 8 come from?
It is worth saying that the iPhone 6 appeared in 2015. The seventh issue is its improved version, the release of which was planned for 2016. Speaking about the iPhone 8, it is worth pointing out that the time of its appearance will be no earlier than the second quarter of 2017.
Accordingly, the developers have almost 2 years to create a new model, where you can fit a huge number of new applications, change the very appearance of the gadget. Experts point out that the appearance of the iPhone 8 will be very close to the iPad.
As for the price, most likely it will vary in the range from 90 to 100 thousand rubles. Certainly, some are surprised by such an estimated cost for the eighth version of the iPhone, because 5, 6, 7 were more affordable. Why did it happen?
The fact is that the cost of the iPhone 7 is approximately $ 850, based on the fact that the model has 128 GB of memory. The higher cost of the iPhone 8 is justified by the fact that this is a new model that will use innovative developments. 
The reason for the increase in prices for the new model
In addition to everything, it is worth considering the fluctuations in the exchange rate, which also have a significant impact on the final cost of the requested product. Undoubtedly, some people claim that the sixth and seventh models are more than suitable for them, so they do not think about buying the 8th. But in many ways this decision is justified by the alleged high cost of such a model. So it will be more permissible for people who are not limited by financial capabilities. They will be able to afford such an expensive gadget.
On the other hand, such a price for iPhone 8 is only a guess. The final verdict of the manufacturer will be known only at the moment when the new model enters the market. By this time, additional currency jumps may occur, or its stabilization, and some conceptually new decisions may also be made during development. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately talk about the cost of the new iPhone 8 a month or a half before its release.
Apple products are one of the most popular in the world. Many global manufacturers of such equipment are guided by its quality.
One of the most anticipated products is the iphone 8, which entered the market quite recently. You can get acquainted with its characteristics on the official website.
Model overview
Iphone 8 is a powerful and unique device. The model is characterized by several distinctive parameters:
- The body of the phone is made of aluminum, and the back panel is equipped with durable glass. The color scheme is limited to only three colors - black, gray and gold.
- The system is powered by a 6-core A11 Bionic processor. In general, the cores work up to 70% faster than the 7th predecessor.
- The camera has a resolution of 12 megapixels. With it, you can shoot videos in Full HD format. It should be noted that the system determines the boundaries of objects in focus much better.
- The device is charged wirelessly.
Models B of the iPhone X and iPhone 8 Plus were also introduced to the market, which are distinguished by the presence of more powerful algorithms. This is achieved through a special piece of intelligence that can adapt to the lighting, as well as determine the face.
The latter function is used as a way to unlock the device. Also, these phones are able to recognize the emotions on your face, turning them into the appropriate emoticons.
Price policy
The cost of the new iPhone 8 may vary depending on the amount of memory that is built into it. Thus, a standard US phone model with a 32 GB drive will cost the buyer only $649. The most expensive version is the 256 GB version, which will cost $549.
As for the iPhone 8 Plus model, its price ranges from $769 to $969. Please note that these prices are valid for the USA only.
As for our country, the gadget will cost much more than in its homeland. So prices for the iPhone 8 start at $920 (UAH 26,000 is the cheapest model).
A device with a 256 GB drive will cost the user already 1180 greenbacks. iPhone 8 Plus lovers will be even more disappointed as they will have to shell out between $1,300 and $1,700.
It should be understood that these amounts may vary by individual stores, depending on the popularity of the product and the exchange rate. But the phone is unique and its cost is consistent with the functionality and build quality.
A lot of information has come out this year to draw the right conclusions. Of course, not everything is 100 percent accurate, but I can tell you the release date, price, and what the iPhone 8 will be like in general.
The best part about the sources of the leaks is that most of them took photos in previous years as well. And as you know, most of them were true.
What will the iPhone 8 be like?
Now let's quickly go over all the points of the new flagship. Just a few words about every moment, which is more or less reliable today.
Appearance.
The front of the smartphone will change entirely. Now it will be an OLED screen (after all, Samsung received the order) with almost no bezels and the display is planned to be about 5.8 inches.
In terms of size, it will be somewhere between the current iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 PLUS. But as sources assure, due to the new display, it will be necessary to increase the thickness to 8.6 mm instead of the previous 7.1 mm.
Many are inclined that the case materials will be glass and aluminum. So get ready for the fact that the phone will be very easy to break. But if there is a cover, then in principle this is not a problem.
Fingerprint scanner. As you remember, the first leaks were with a scanner on the back cover. Fortunately, there are more and more rumors that the fingerprint scanner will be placed on the screen.
Samsung also wanted to use this technology, but due to the timing and unstable work, you yourself know what happened.
We also forget about the new touch-sensitive Home button, which many users liked so much. In the iPhone 7, it has proven itself quite well and perhaps it will come in handy somewhere else.
Camera.
Now it will be vertical, which is very unusual for the iPhone. So far it looks so-so, but these are just leaks.
The flash moved in different ways, but if you lean towards the majority, then it will be between the cameras. In fact, both options look pretty good both from the bottom and in the center.
The front one, most of all, will also be double, and there can be two reasons for this: 3D photos and, of course, just face recognition.
Fast charging.
A big bias should be made precisely to the battery, because Apple has long been behind even Chinese brands.
So we are waiting for fast charging technology and, of course, wireless charging. How they will approach this issue, we will be able to see only after the presentation.
But I think they should come up with something practical and preferably revolutionary. After all, this is the first time that Apple has to play catch-up.
Characteristics.
This is probably the last thing Apple fans are waiting for after they get the same design for three years in a row.
However, we are waiting for the new A11 processor and 3 GB of RAM. With modern iOS, all this will work with a bang, because there have never been problems with performance.
Indeed, today even the potential of the old iPhone 6 has not been revealed. And if game developers continue to release pixelated games, then who knows why all this power is needed.
When will the iPhone 8 be released?
Now let's move on to the most important issue and here I want to talk about the future cost of the iPhone 8 and, of course, the release date of the long-awaited flagship.
I think everyone understands that everything will happen in September. But you and I are such people that we love exact dates. And then a very reliable source reports that the presentation will take place on October 17th.
Why this particular number is still unknown. But this is very unusual, because they never made presentations on Sunday.
The start of sales is scheduled after September 25 in America and, according to tradition, about a month later in Russia - this is after October 25.
As for the future price, there are only rumors so far, but unfortunately those that speak of an increase in the old options prevail.
The basic version will start at $ 1,000, and at the start of sales you yourself know what awaits you.
Results
We all understand that these are all just rumors and the most reliable of them can be called the appearance and characteristics. Everything else can actually change 10 more times.
So here are the news for today and now you know the approximate release date and of course the price of the new iPhone 8. It remains only to wait for September and find out the truth.
