Based in the United States, Apple is one of the main actors of the smartphone market with its iPhone series. Apple is preparing to introduce the iPhone 14 family, which will be the new models of the iPhone series, and aims to offer more powerful Pro and Max models in these phones.
It is now considered normal for the price of almost every device to increase due to factors such as global inflation, chip crisis, and raw material crisis. Meanwhile, Apple is trying to make higher prices acceptable, at least by creating a distinctive difference between its products. Regardless of the company’s strategies, iPhone 14 prices are constantly subject to speculation.
Will the iPhone 14s get a raise?
Dan Ives, the head of Wedbrush Securities, a popular analytics specialist and investment advisory firm, said that prices in supply chains are rising, and therefore, there may be a $100 increase in price for the basic version of the final product, the iPhone 14. In his statement, Ives stated that the company had to overcome the increasing procurement costs.
If Ives’ claims are true, we can see the iPhone 14 on sale for $ 899. iPhone 14 Max $ 999, iPhone 14 Pro $ 1099 and iPhone 14 Pro Max $ 1199 can take their place on the shelves with price tags.
On the other hand, there are those who oppose this view. With the start of iPhone 14 production, more rumors about the smartphone began to emerge. The striking point in these rumors is the claims that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 will have the same chassis and largely similar parts. In this case, Apple can prevent the increase of $ 100 for the iPhone 14 by acting by removing the oil of the fly. Otherwise, even the entry cost of a person who will start using an iPhone will have increased from $ 699 to $ 899.
