Yes I agree. Also I really wonder how Apple is going price the new iPhones and how much price cut are they ging to give to the older ones.
The current prices are:
- iPhone SE - $429
- iPhone 11 - $499
- iPhone 12 Mini - $599
- iPhone 12 - $699
- iPhone 13 Mini - $699
- iPhone 13 - $799
Ignoring the prices of the Pros since Apple always discontinues them.
The expected prices when the iPhone 14 releases:
- iPhone SE - $429
- iPhone 11 - Discontinued
- iPhone 12 Mini(5.4inch) - $499?
- iPhone 12(6.1inch) - $599?
- iPhone 13 Mini(5.4inch) - $599?
- iPhone 13(6.1inch) - $699?
- iPhone 14(6.1inch) - $699/799?
- iPhone 14(6.7inch) - $799/899?
Since keeping the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 at the same price would not be beneficial to Apple and it would probably cannibalize the iPhone 14 since both are exactly the same size just that the iPhone 14 will have a better front camera. And also it doesn't make sense. So Apple will probably price the iPhone 14 a $100 higher. But who is gonna get the iPhone 14 for $100 extra just because it has an upgraded front camera?
This is why Kuo's rumor doesn't make sense. An upgraded chip can compensate for the extra $100 but just an upgraded front camera can't.
I don't know how Apple is going to price their upcoming lineup and if you guys have any thoughts about it please let me know.
