Apple is set to unveil the new line up of iPhones on September 10 during a launch event in the US which will begin at around 10:30PM IST. While the iPhone lovers eagerly wait for the new devices, the discussions around them revolve, not just around the specs, but around the price. The tech giant has been consistently raising the Apple iPhone prices over the last few years. It has even drawn criticism for the same and the big question is - Will the iPhone prices go down this year? It is being hazarded that the new iPhones may even come with a discount that is nearly 50%! That is exactly what certain reports are quoting experts as saying. Notably, this will be quite to the contrary of what Apple has been doing so far, which is, iPhones that have come after the first one, have been mostly launched with a massive price hike, especially the 'Plus' versions.
