Apple’s iPhone 15 “Wonderlust” event is only a week away, and today a new rumor once again suggests that the iPhone 15 Pro will be more expensive than its predecessor. This time it comes from the news supply chain source DigiTimes and attributes the price increase mainly to two factors.iPhone 15 Pro will be more expensive
According to Luke Lin, senior analyst at DigiTimes Research, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are expected to cost roughly the same as the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. No price increase is expected on these base models. However, it is difficult to say the same for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
According to the report, the iPhone 15 Pro series will see a “huge price increase” this year due to two key changes: a switch from stainless steel to titanium for the case design, and a new periscope lens camera system. On the other hand, even if the prices increase, the iPhone 15 Pro models are expected to be the most popular phones of this generation.
Additionally, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be more expensive than their iPhone 14 counterparts. Many reliable sources have confirmed the price increase claims. What is unclear is the amount of the price increase. Some say that there will be an increase of $ 100, while others say that a very high increase of $ 200 is possible. So at best, the iPhone 15 Pro could start at $1,099 and the iPhone 15 Pro Max at $1,199.
We’ll see in a week if all these rumors are true. Apple will announce the iPhone 15 series and new products such as the Apple Watch 9 on September 12. Pre-orders for the iPhones are expected on September 15, and the devices are expected to launch on September 22.
