Any amount Is too much. (For real)
Ok seriously though, if the starting price for 512GB is $1499 then that’s too much.

For the lackluster regular iPhone the $799 are too much already. Does anything suggest Apple is going to raise prices? I would only get a pro model with the LTPO panel to begin with, I'd rather get a year old pro that has better hardware than the latest non-pro model. And for the latest pro model $999 is my limit. Or at least I've never considered the other storage options since USB2.0 was too slow to really make use of it, perhaps with USB-C that changes on iPhones for the first time.
If the 15 is more than $200 over the 14, that'd be enough for me to consider downgrading the storage or possibly wait another year.
These devices are getting so expensive... Yes, you get some for trade in but especially for the larger storage sizes, Apple resale (to Apple itself) is horrific.

The cheapest iPhone 14 is currently Fr.730 here in Switzerland ($825, €760, £650) and I wouldn't pay much more than that a month or so after it's come out.
It depends on what new features exist. Therefore the question cannot be answered until 9/12. Due to vision changes I am moving to the Max size, but I could go with a 14 Pro Max if the 15 price went way up.
But TBH odds are that I will buy a 15 Pro Max no matter what the price is.
5-7% YoY, basically anything 4% above inflation ... Ugh, thinking about it makes me violently ill. But it's all write-offs anyways 😋
I’m trading in my 14PM to Apple, so a 512GB 15PM without th trade in hopefully don’t surpass $1499.
$1399 for a 256 Pro Max is my limit
Trading in a 12 Pro. $360 trade-in right now. Hopefully it retains a $275-$300 price after the announcement.

Thank you very much for reminding us about this! £999 was painful then, look where we are at now…
It must be said that Apple are pushing what’s reasonable every year, or actually we are kind of beyond but they have managed to blind us. Yes, yes, it very much depends on e.g. the payback models there is from the operators etc, but come on, it is a lot of money into phones now. If you think about it, and how not sustainable it is, it’s crazy. Haha will stop ranting now.
That said, I’m thinking more in lines of keeping a phone much longer than before. Which makes me more inclined to buy the top of the line to make it last as long as possible, with as much storage as possible…. Kind of a paradox isn’t it. So with that thinking, let’s say you can have a iPhone at least 5 years, and you should have a cost of max £300 a year, gives £1500 max. But that’s a 5 year investment then! How many of us can start having a phone 5 years…
Don’t want to give up my polished gold 12P yet, I’ll wait for awhile. At my age I don’t need the bleeding edge anymore.
"Today, Apple announced that although they only sold one iPhone 15 since launch, the $1 Billion price tag easily covered all their costs".
256GB up to $1499 for me. If this was the case then I would upgrade every 2-3 years.
