Cook suggested rumors of a radically redesigned iPhone 8 were causing some customers to hold off purchases of current iPhones to wait for the likely more handsome one to come.

It’s a new iPhone manufacturing season, which means we’re bound to see plenty of iPhone 8 and iPhone 7s components leak from Asia before Apple actually unveils the phone next month.
Now, a new report claims that Tim Cook will take the stage on September 12 to announce the iPhone 8, iPhone 7s, and iPhone 7s Plus.
Reports have suggested that the iPhone 8’s availability will be limited at launch.
– It may have 3D sensing feature and new AR which demands more storage capacity.
The date was reported by Mac4Ever, and fits squarely in the traditional mid-September timeframe for Apple’s fall product launches. Both iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus will offer marginal upgrades like wireless charging, but they would retain the physical home button. This rumor claims that there will be 64GB, 256GB, and 512GB options of the iPhone 8 available when it launches. However, the latest report shows that the wearable device is unlikely to support phone calls. Fast Company had previously said that the luxury iPhone 8 will cost not less than a whopping $1000, may be slightly higher.
APPLE is gearing up for the launch of the iPhone 8 later this year. This would bring the iPhone 7S and iPhone 8 in line with the iPad Pro lineup, which also starts at 64GB for the standard model. The one that is receiving the most attention is the purported iPhone 8, a special high-end version that will feature a new design and near bezel-less OLED display.
But even just a 10% to 15% jump in iPhone revenue in the 12 months following the iPhone 8’s launch could more than justify Apple’s current stock price.
A separate rumours predicts that the iPhone 8 could come with a 3D sensor which can also mute notifications by simply looking at the display.
Due out this fall, Apple’s new smartphone arrives with lofty expectations.
