Very American article. Think I speak for Europe when I say we wait with baited breath whether we are clobbered again like we were last year!
I understand the site is called “Mac Rumors” and they’re trying to keep the excitement level high leading to the official iPhone announcement. But this piece is completely unnecessary. Everything that is in it has been mentioned in just about every iPhone article over the past month.
And, for the record, I agree with those who feel Apple’s product iterations are out of control. There should be no minor updates just for the sake of an update. Slow down to every other year. Likewise, iOS and MacOS updates should slow down to every other year. Meanwhile, Apple can work out the bugs instead of introducing dubious new “features” that no one asked for.

But that's what happens when you build "brand awareness" and let's give Apple credit for that. What Apple has done to their brand is no different than what Sony did for the Trinitron TV (okay showing my age here) or the PlayStation, or Harley Davidson motorcycles, or Gucci, or Rolex. You can probably come up with your own list. The fact of the matter is that's what companies try to do and create. Apple is really no different and are capitalizing on that. I however, have never owned an iPhone because I don't feel the need to spend over a $1000 on a phone.
Cant agree more. Mini is a perfect phone for people who do some sports since you dont even know youre carrying it in your pocket. Unlike the Max version which is basically a small inch flat TV in your pants.
Anyone thinking that Apple won't bump up the prices everywhere if they do in the US are delusional.
Those 256gb sound nice, until you start getting those nasty iCloud pop-up messages how there's no more room to sync your data and you have to get 1TB storage because Apple being apple doesnt offer anything between 200gb and 1TB. But the price goes all the way to 10€/month...
Inflation is reported as a rate and gets compounded. It is still > 0 which means prices have increased since a year ago.
totally agreed with you, i stopped upgrading since the XS Max, i currently have the 14 pro max but this will be my last iphone i dont see my money worth buying another iphone, so looking forward to get the new galaxy S24U when it comes out.
It will cost as much as Apple can squeeze out of it's consumers.
iPhone 2TB. I’m buying it I don’t care if it’s $2000. I’m poor but $1000 I need. I get paid in 2 weeks for my barista job
the problem is the people still going online and buy it, there's groups of people that dont know nothing about tech but still buys an iphone, other's they just want the latest iphone, others they just got used to iphone and buys it......
i was the one that want to have the latest iphone and as a long time apple consumer, i dont see my money worth buying another iphone.
if people would really notice how badly they are getting ripped off, they will stopped for a moment and look at another options.
Apple is not only way behind others but is also a greddy company, since steve jobs passed away and jony ive left, Apple is lost and simply they dont care about the consumer anymore.
Inflation has reduced from 11% (Oct 22) to 6.8% (present rate) though. I would expect prices to come down, although we know they are being held artificially high by supermarkets and most retailers. I doubt Apple will be honest if the rest are not.
if this is a joke, HAHAHA very funny, but if it wasn't you're a very bad joke dude.
It’s a "very American" article because MacRumors is a "very American" website based in the "very American" state of Virginia.
As far as prices go, you got "clobbered" last year because of the strong USD. However, even though prices went up last year in Europe they still remained fairly inline with prices in the U.S. For example, when the iPhone 14 Pro launched last year, starting prices (excluding purchase taxes) in USD were $999 in the U.S. and around $980 or so in the UK which was not significantly different.
Since the USD is weaker this year against the € and £, even if there is a price increase in the U.S. that doesn't necessarily mean there will be one in Europe.
While Apple may hold the price constant others don't. After the X-mas season EVERY new iPhone can be directly purchased for at least 15% off, sometimes north of 20% with spring lurking.
In the UK absolutely noone, lucky to get £50 off at places like Argos and John Lewis 6+ months later.
Yet the head of MacRumors (Arn) has stated not more than a couple of years ago that he estimates that roughly 50% of the readers of the site are from outside the US.
The same in Northern Europe. No carrier deals, no price drops at all at Authorized Apple Resellers as they are not allowed to do so per their "agreements" with Apple.
