“I will not buy the iPhone 8,” USM senior and longtime Apple customer Evan Jones said. “There’s no real reason for me to get one.”
“I’m excited to see the releases, but I don’t intend to buy them,” junior Jessica Fields said. “They’re just too expensive.”

“I’m not going to change. I like the UI [user interface] of both their computers and phones,” Jones said.
With Apple launching another generation of innovative Apple products, users are expecting an interesting year from this company. The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus launches Sept. 22 while the iPhone X will be coming to stores Nov. 3.
