Some curiously bad news from Mac Otakara in regards the new hardware in the iPhone 8. The pain point is Nikkei claims the iPhone 8 will be the most expensive smartphone Apple has ever released. Whilst Apple is keeping quiet, Taiwan Mobile is pushing the ‘new’ iPhone as a special limited-edition promotion. As all of Apple’s development focus switches to mobile hardware, does Apple still want to be a PC manufacturer? It's no accident that several Mac models have not been updated in many months, but it's also true that Apple faces real constraints in dramatically expanding its Mac sales.
