Its hard to believe a may-be $700+ phone would come without dual camera.

Let's get something straight first: With Apple there is _NEVER_ any budget item. Ever.
They strictly sell luxury items at several hundred percent markup. Strictly.

FinnishInquisition, 06 Aug 2018You do realise the Apple SoC's are about 2 years ahead of the Qualcomm/Samsung/MediaTek SoC's,... more1. The performance difference between Apple & QC, which used to be quite apparent, is almost non-existent today. Androids today have started beating iPhones in speedtests.
2. Yes, they provide 5 year of software support (it wins when compared to Android's 3-4 years), but that alone still nowhere justifies the ever increasing price tag on the iPhones. Add to that, the never ending list of cost cutting that Apple makes on their so called "flagship" devices. Add to that, their proprietary port, for which you need to pay extra for any accessory. Add to that, them using a cheap material for their back camera lenses, and shamelessly calling it "sapphire". Add to that, charging exorbitant prices for repairs, despite bleeding the customer already for over 200% profit on a single device purchase. Add to that, providing a 5V/1.2A charger with their 1000 USD flagship, when even 100 USD Androids provide 5V/2A chargers (and are bashed for not providing fast chargers). Add to that, using the same design for 4 years in a row, still charging 800 USD (apparently because Apple does lot of R&D)

FinnishInquisition, 06 Aug 2018You do realise the Apple SoC's are about 2 years ahead of the Qualcomm/Samsung/MediaTek SoC's,... moreYeah the software support to throttle the phones, the processor+os combo which is proven to be slower than flagships in speedtest, we're preserving the battery they say... They're no better than the other companies in terms of making old phones obsolete especially with ridiculus 550 usd for cracked back...

Dr. Chillo, 06 Aug 2018Budget iPhone means, an outdated junk for the price a flagship AndroidYou do realise the Apple SoC's are about 2 years ahead of the Qualcomm/Samsung/MediaTek SoC's, and Apple provides software support for 5 years or more, unlike Android manufacturers, right?

Hey GSMarena, never put budget and iPhone words in one sentence. Thanks.
Kiyasuriin, 06 Aug 2018Is it just me? Or that budget IPhone looks like a remastered iPhone 4?It would have been, if not for the rounded/bulging edges. Now it looks more like a huge iPhone 8.

I'm expecting that huge camera to be low light capable and has all flagship camera tricks.
Budget? It has glass back so... $600-700?

Makes sense. Smaller sensors in dual set up is what is considered premium
