Sales of the iPhone in India have been so strong for Apple that it even mentioned the price at yesterday’s event in San Francisco specifically knowing that consumers were watching. Sometimes availability is limited on new colors, especially when Apple uses new production methods to get the finish in question. But if you value a great deal on the size of your phone, then surely the differences do matter a lot, and most likely you can easily get to pick which iPhone you will get your hands on. Lately it has inflated those sales by adding in those from China and pre-orders.

Another Apple distributor in India, Rashi Peripherals, confirmed that the new iPhone sales will commence on October 7, but did not reveal if it will follow the USA -like midnight launch. With this in mind, we consider what lies ahead in their next device: the iPhone 8.
Apple’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller’s answer to this issue is for customers to purchase a Lightning Dock for $49, as it features an integrated headphone jack.
For those that are still planning to use the old school headphones with a 3.5mm jack, the Rockstar supports the Lightning to 3.5mm turnaround as well.
In fact, Apple made a particular point of saying the new 32GB phones would be the same price as the woefully abysmal 16GB phones they’ve been selling thus far. You see, not only is Apple able to deliver better digital audio through the Lightning cable, but the removal of the port has created the space Apple needed for the Taptic Engine and a stereo speaker system.
The new smartphones come with Apple seeking to reverse declines in sales of the iPhone in an increasingly saturated global market, and boost its Apple Watch. The 128GB version costs £699 and the 256GB version will set you back a whopping £799.
