In Germany, the Pro models always cost 1149€ and 1249€ for the max models. Now, their pricing starts at 1299€ and 1449€ for the max. Can you explain why? The dollar prices stayed the same in the US, why do I have to pay more in Europe? AFAIK the exchange rate of dollar and euro is 1:1
I am aware, that taxes still go on top of Apple’s announced prices, while here it’s already included in the displayed price.
The USD is a lot stronger than it used to be compared to the EUR; gone from 0,75:1 last year to 1:1 this year so the phones have actually become less expensive in Germany compared to prices in the US 😅

Accounting for VAT, the entry iPhone 14 Pro is 13% more expensive in Denmark than in the US, making the $ to DKK prices ~1:10 ($999 to DKK 10,499) like it's been for generations actually...

Dynamic island gives me touchbar vibes.

No USB-C for transferring giant files yet?

Cameras look insane as always. Love the new color.

On the other hand there is a bigger gap than ever between the Pro and non-Pro so in effect a defacto price increase.

What bigger than ever gap are you referring to? The price differences between comparable storage size 14/14 Plus and 14 Pro/14 Pro Max models is $170. The price difference between comparable storage size 11 and 11 Pro models was $300.



Also amazing was the $200 price drop on the 13 no?

The iPhone 13 price drop is $100, not $200.
 
These will be new prices of iPhones in Europe, no matter what will happen to Euro exchange rate. No way Apple is going to lower prices even if/when Euro gets stronger in the coming years.
 
they say the price hasn't increased?? in UK the 256gh iPhone 14 pro is £160 more than last years 13 pro!
 
These price increases in Europe is a bit hard to shallow, but a damn nice upgrade from iPhone X!

I will need to find a deal with a carrier to take the heat of that price hike though. No pre order from Apple from me this time. :(
 
EU people, we have only one way to protest: DO. NOT. BUY. IT. DAY. ONE.
This isn't Apple's fault. It's the fault of EU politicians. Amazing so few people protest against them destroying the value of the currency.
Pro tip : maybe you can snap up a discounted 13 pro still. It should go up in value the coming months!

Apple will have bad year in Europe. Increasing interest rates push up mortgage payments and electricity prices are sky high with at least five fold increase.

Even though the price would have remained the same many people will most likely have to cut spending. With the increased price I feel that it is over the pain point for many of those who don’t get it from their work.

Also, as you mention, you pay 20% VAT in Germany, they pay 0% VAT in the US (and local taxes are only calculated at checkout as opposed to German VAT) - in Denmark with 25% VAT, this fits neatly: $1149 = DKK 8536. DKK 8536 * 125% = DKK 10,670. Price in Denmark is DKK 10,499. $1149 = €1160. €1160 * 1,20 = $1392 so you're actually getting a €93 discount! 😅
Great upgrade but im not paying the extra! Certainly when it the same price in the us!
 
I'll be preordering the Prince Purple iPhone 14 Pro Max on Friday. It's too bad Apple doesn't give you instant credit for your old device. Best Buy does - only when you pick up the phone in store. So I'll be preordering through Best Buy. Ugh.

I was able to walk in and get a 256GB iPhone 13 Pro Max on release day at the Apple Store but that stressed me out.
 
All you haters that came at me with notch better than pill. tsk tsk tsk.

😜
I don’t know, the pill looks absolutely annoying for watching movies or anything else full screen with the screen held horizontally. Way worse than the notch.
