Apple's widely rumored high-end iPhone with an OLED display is expected to cost upwards of $1,000 (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/08/2017-iphone-8-1000-plus/), but UBS analyst Steven Milu**vich believes that a base 64GB model could start at $850 to $900 in the United States. That price point would be similar to Samsung's new Galaxy S8+ (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/03/29/samsung-galaxy-s8-unveiled/), which starts at $840 to $850.

Milu**vich said the flagship iPhone could start at under $1,000 as part of Apple's "mainstream luxury" pricing strategy. He also believes the 5.8-inch device will be competing at a screen size disadvantage compared to the 6.2-inch Galaxy S8+, leading him to predict Apple will adopt similar pricing as Samsung.
Milu**vich thinks that a 256GB model could cost between $950 and $1,000, so the iPhone could very well be the first smartphone in the United States to have a four-digit price tag. He also predicted that the tentatively named iPhone 7 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-7/)s and iPhone 7s Plus will start at around $649 and $749 respectively.
An excerpt from Milu**vich's latest research **te obtained by MacRumors:Contrary to some perceptions, Apple prices quite competitively. Apple likes to position its entry-level products at the mid-market with "Pro/Plus" products close to competitors at the high end. Therefore, we do **t think Apple will stray far from the price point of Samsung's most expensive model at $840-850 and will keep the entry OLED model at $850-900. Apple's 256GB OLED model could be $950-1,000, but the 256GB 7 Plus already is $970.The research **te cites UBS Asia hardware analyst Arthur Hsieh, who estimates the factory cost of the tentatively named iPhone 8 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-8/) could be $70 to $90 higher than the iPhone 7 Plus, which starts at $769. Milu**vich's prices appear to be merely predictions based on this information, rather than inside sources.
In addition to an edge-to-edge OLED display with narrow bezels, the iPhone 8 is expected to resemble the Galaxy S8 in many ways, including wireless charging (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/09/2017-iphones-wireless-charging/), ** physical Home button (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/08/25/apple-to-eliminate-home-button-in-2017-iphone/), and potentially 3D facial recognition (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/01/21/apple-touch-id-facial-recognition-iphone-8/) and/or iris scanning (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/10/iphone-8-iris-scanner-digitimes-rumor/). Touch ID might be embedded (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/01/21/apple-touch-id-facial-recognition-iphone-8/) in or under the True Tone display (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/03/31/iphone-7s-7s-plus-8-true-tone-displays-rumor/).
Milu**vich maintains a "buy" rating for AAPL with a $151 price target. AAPL closed at $144.77 on Tuesday.
