Why iPhone 8 - shameless divorce on money
Apple is preparing a gadget that will make millionaires all owners of repair shops from Cupertino.
The main smartphone of the year is waiting with trembling and excitement. On the one hand, the flagship should be grandiose - a new design and a 10-year anniversary from the time of the first iPhone produce the maximum HYIP around the release.
On the other hand, the iPhone 8 (we'll call it so purely for convenience) already has three confirmed and critical minuses:
1. The disappearance of the most convenient TouchID. In the screen it was not exactly possible to integrate it, so we will be scratched that face recognition is a steeper theme than a fingerprint scanner. It is doubtful.
2. The hellish price. OLED-screens are expensive, so the starting price of 80 thousand does not look like something wild. Moreover, there is a possibility that the cost of the top modification will approach the weave.
3. New screen format. Apple will deliver a frameless display, but it will make a pretty ugly cut for the front camera, the ambient light sensor and the speakerphone. There are two shortcomings at once. Firstly, initially the front-end will be constantly smeared with fingerprints - yet they are accustomed to lowering the upper bar with a quick svaypom. Secondly, it is necessary to get used to a new way of calling a status bar.
Unfortunately, all of the above claims are little things in life.
The main catastrophe that awaits us in the iPhone 8 is the glass case.
Let's remember the iPhone 4 / 4s. I do not know how you are, but among my acquaintances the live and whole "quartet" was harder to find than the beaten one. Some friends even had a philosophy: they changed glasses only after they broke both the back and the front.
But it is important to understand: at that time (2010-2013 - the peak of popularity of 4 / 4s) the repair cost significantly cheaper than now. I broke it, found a couple thousand, put the non-original glass, waited for the next breakdown - a simple algorithm.
With the iPhone 8, everything will be much tougher, especially in the first weeks.
As far as I know, the replacement screen for iPhone 7 Plus costs 10-12 thousand rubles with non-original spare part and 18-20 thousand - with branded glass. In the context of the iPhone 8, these amounts can be multiplied at once by a factor of 1.5 or 2: the increased complexity of the work, and the frightening price of spare parts, will also be affected.
I believe that now the moaning of those who have broken the frameless phone is not audible only for one reason - the devices without frames are still too few. Their production is handled by Samsung, Xiaomi and other Chinese guys - this is still frivolous and unsustainable.
But the release of the iPhone will turn the system over: people are naturally ruined for repairs. Cucked the phone - carried 30 thousand, and then again walk with a broken screen. That's fun, then.
How to be saved?
Very simple, but boring:
1. Accept the fact that the case and film (protective glass) for the iPhone 8 - as an apparatus for artificial ventilation for a hopeless vegetable. It is necessary either to use saving means, or to reconcile, that without them the device will soon die.
2. Look closer to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus - they almost do not split, and for their repair they ask for tolerable money. Moreover, the price of the "seven" will soon collapse.
And one more lifhak:
You better forget about the existence of insurance on smartphones. When you buy iPhone 8, you will immediately be offered to insure it. This is a hoax: if you split the phone, you will at best be repaired for a month and a half, and at worst you will be blamed for the failure. So do not even think to pay insurers - they are scoundrels.
That's all.
Let's hope that the iPhone 8 will still be stronger than rock crystal.
