Yikes to the Pro is up $100?? that's relatively significant and will for sure make people think twice if they need to upgrade....
The iPhone 13 Pro 256GB is $1099 which was $50 less than the 256GB iPhone X. I am not surprised we are seeing a price hike, but like you said, for the Pro model, a starting price of $1099 should include 256GB as standard. Kind of crappy they sold a 128GB 13 Pro that wasn’t even full featured due to inadequate storage. That’s on Apple.Of course if they made 256GB the base model, this wouldn't be so bad, but they won't...
They will, especially whenever the phone has a 48MP camera.Of course if they made 256GB the base model, this wouldn't be so bad, but they won't...
True true true, and don’t forget significantly better cameras and ProMOTION. iPhone 14 Pro will bring us AoD…and that’s basically it according to rumors. I am definitely not upgrading my 13 Pro until the 15 Pro with expected USB-C.I have an iPhone XS Max since 2018. I'll prob buy the Pro Max 13 if I see it discounted heavily enough after the 14 is released - I can afford the 14 but why waste money? There is actually little point upgrading to the 14 imo. And no real point upgrading unless you phone is getting slow. My XS Max is still totally fine and I could wait another year easily unless iOS16 slows it down. The 13 is a decent upgrade because of the significantly longer battery life.
Absolutely they are fully taking advantage of this opportunity. There is a break point for me personally, where I see a price and decide if it's just too far. Poor example, but one nonetheless- I went to Publix recently to shop, saw my go to Popsicles (outshine, the fruit ones). 6 pk was priced now at 5.99. I looked, thought $1 per, and put it back, not going to happen. There is just a point where enough is enough. Same goes for the 14 pro, as I am on the 12Pro. Can I upgrade, sure- will I? maybe, depends.Its been pointed out by economists that inflation seems to get worse due to companies raising prices more then they need to in order to mitigate costs. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/retail-price-gouging-lowes-amazon-target-accountable-us/
Apple may well be inflation resistant, but by raising prices they can increase their margins.
The camera itself is going to be on another level tho. I don't think it's worth waiting for only USB-C. Might as well upgrade if you can. Remember tomorrow is not promised.True true true, and don’t forget significantly better cameras and ProMOTION. iPhone 14 Pro will bring us AoD…and that’s basically it according to rumors.

One way to get out of debt is not buy on credit. iPhones last many years now.Jokes on them, I’m in debt either way
Woo if that's for a free large fry, it's worth like $20I predict they will lower prices and include a five guys coupon with the Pro.
Heck I barely even pick stuff up anymore. I see the tag, stand there with my mouth hanging open, and then walk away mumbling and shaking my headAbsolutely they are fully taking advantage of this opportunity.

I refuse to buy this year’s iPhone because the price hike is not sufficient enough for my needs.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?
If it ends in 99 or 95 ($499 or $999), it's pricing for the budget conscious. If it ends in 00 ($500 or $1000), it's status conscious. It's a marketing tactic. $999 and $1000 is practically the same. $999 feels like a value because 9 < 10, whereas $1000 feels like bragging because 10 > 9.Still, starting the phone above that magical $999 mark is one of those 'psychological' things that could hurt sales.
ok, then I'm all for itThey will, especially whenever the phone has a 48MP camera.
I know he’s been good for Apple’s shareholder’s but Tim really is cringy. I love Apple products and many of the products they’ve released recently, but Tim has always been a cringy character in my opinion.“We’ve got some new prices for you and we think you’re gonna love it.”
Agreed. In either case this won't be anything newThe iPhone 13 Pro 256GB is $1099 which was $50 less than the 256GB iPhone X.

Yep, the largest transfer of wealth. We’re headed quickly to a world where Elysium is reality.If you expected otherwise… look at what’s going on in the world right now
Yea, totally, but everyone who follows him in the keynotes are even worse. Borderline creepy even. Like that watch guy who is wheezing the entire time, what with that?!I know he’s been good for Apple’s shareholder’s but Tim really is cringy.

Im not sure why you see to rejoice on thatYou can tell, Apple is so confident!
Apple is about to sell iPhone 14 like hot cakes. Generating massively billions of dollars for the company.
Yes this why they are so obsessed with MarsYep, the largest transfer of wealth. We’re headed quickly to a world where Elysium is reality.
