Kuo: Apple to Increase Prices of iPhone 14 Pro Models

[compwiz1202]

I’ll wait for the courageous USB-C iPhone price rise.

I mean maybe that could justify an increase but not barely incremental increases when people can barely afford needs. 80% profit on zero is ZERO

Not surprising. Inflation is hitting everything right now.

Still, starting the phone above that magical $999 mark is one of those 'psychological' things that could hurt sales.

The question is whether it matters?

It's not a low-end product. Certainly there are some weirdly price-conscious people for whom spending 10% more for a $1K phone they don't really need is a turnoff, but I feel like if you really want a Pro you're going to get it, the same way there are people plunking down top dollar for maxed, er, Maxes right now.

That would mean that the 1TB iPhone 14 Pro Max would cost almost $3000 with AppleCare up here in Canada. Ouch

The price of computers, processors, flash memory, and video cards has been plummeting the past few months.

My solution is a used phone or previous gen from now on - an iPhone that is priced more than the new MacBook Air is a bit too much for me.

 

[blairh]

This has been rumored so I'm not surprised. Most likely...

iPhone 14: $799
iPhone 14 Max: $899
iPhone 14 Pro: $1099
iPhone 14 Pro Max: $1199

[Stromos]

Gotta keep raising the price otherwise poor people might be in our ecosystem. Those green bubbles are important to know who not to associate with.

I am completely kidding but I love the Apple stockholders in this thread.

It’s nuts. At the end of the day it’s just a fancy rectangle!

 

[Aoligei]

I want to pay more. Just because you don't want to pay more, don't assume everyone wants the same features as you? Ok?

Your reply doesn't make sense. It is like saying, if Apple doesn't increase in price, then there won't be new features.

But why would you want pay more? If you can get iPhone with all the features at same price, why would you want pay more?

 

[mantan]

If there was a real reason to upgrade from a specification point of view, it might be a reasonable price increase, but if it is just a price increase with no additions, I'd be disappointed.

Narrator: He ended up disappointed.

 

[macrumors3000]

Great. I love paying more! iPhone 14 Pro pill & punchhole is a status symbol! I can't wait to show it off on instagram!

 

[NoGood@Usernames]

Surprise!

My 12 Pro should suit me just fine for the next year or two at least...

Apple Marketing: If the price ain't "Whoa!!?" it ain't "Pro"

 

[Marswarrior462]

I’m glad I bought the 13 Pro Max last year rather than waiting another year. It’s already the most expensive thing I’ve bought so far

I'd rather get a reconditioned mint iPhone 11 for $150 and buy a MacBook Air with the savings.

Who cares about poor people? Apple user would be special, noble, who has endless money, filling with joy with that shinny Apple log.

These disgusting poor folks should only buy Android, we Apple users doesn't want have anything to do with these people. /s

Have you heard of a thing called "sarcasm" ?

 

[Fried_Gold]

This was guaranteed.

Apparently I didn't get your sarcasm... Sorry about that

Considering that Apple is removing the iPhone mini, a 15% increase price for the regular iPhone 14 will be a steep increase of the lineup starting price

Apple has never been a charity, but this price rise will hurt

I really doubt we are going to see anything like a 15% price increase in North America on the regular iPhone 14. The increases are expected to be mostly (if not entirely) on the Pro and Pro Max, plus there will be a new Max model. The expected elimination of the cheaper mini plus increases on the upper level phones is what will drive the overall average increase.

 

[azentropy]

My growing concern is that the 13 mini won't get a price cut or might just be discontinued all together.

Hard to justify buying a lightning device in 2022. It’s like having micro usb with bidirectional cable.
