14 DAY TRIAL // Apple is expected to unveil the next-generation iPhone next month, and sales will begin in a few weeks after that, so with a little luck, if you’re living in the United States, you might be able to get your hands on this phone in late September or early October.
For those living overseas, on the other hand, this could take longer than expected, and since it’s the new iPhone we’re talking about here, the wait is super painful. So the next logical step is to fire up the browser, go to eBay and see who sells the iPhone and ships it worldwide.
$2,000 to be the first getting the iPhone 7
This seller, for example, already takes pre-orders for the iPhone 7 Plus and promises to ship all over the world, obviously, with priority shipping that costs extra. The Plus can be yours for $1,600, according to his pricing, even though we don’t know exactly how much the device is going to cost at Apple, but it’s very clear that this is more than the official price anyway.
In addition, depending on where you live, the shipping cost can be anywhere between $10 and $100, and add to this other taxes, such as customs for Europeans, and you pay nearly $2,000 for the iPhone 7 Plus. That’s around €1,750 for readers on the Old Continent, which is quite a lot if you want to be one of the first who gets an iPhone 7.
In case you’re wondering, the Plus is that model coming with more exciting upgrades, as the iPhone 7 lineup seems a rather dull overhaul of the existing 6s. The Plus, however, will come with a dual-camera system, 3GB of RAM, up to 256 GB of storage space (the version you can pre-order here, however, comes with 128 GB of storage and in Space Gray) and other small upgrades that you might not even care about.
The name of the phone is not yet confirmed, and there are contradictory reports right now, with some people saying that it could be called iPhone 7 while others claim it makes more sense for Apple to launch it as iPhone 6 SE. Expect full info to be provided in the first half of September at Apple’s press conference.
