Keeping in view the Apple’s past pricing strategy for India, it can be assumed that the iPhone 8 model might see a price tag of more than a lakh. But, considering Apple’s recent interest to manufacture devices in India, it is possible that the smartphone might cost at par with the international model.

The iPhone 8 is touted to feature an edge-to-edge OLED display and dual rear camera setup with augmented reality app support. The smartphone might feature a 5.8 inch screen and is speculated to draw its power from a faster A11 processor, designed on a 10nm production unit. Other features of the device includes iOS 11 operating system, virtual home button, cameras with an augmented reality app support, 3D facial recognition and infrared sensor for face recognition in low-light.
