Wherever you go in the world, you can see that iPhones are among the expensive phones everywhere. But one of the biggest advantages, at least for Americans, is that the starting prices of the best models have remained the same since the launch of the iPhone X.
But this may change; With the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, this trend seems to be broken and a price increase may occur. At least in a research note seen by MacRumors, it’s clear that Haitong International Securities (an investment firm in Hong Kong) tech analyst Jeff Pu thinks so.
Pu underlines that this price increase will actually pay off. The iPhone 15 Pro Max will have a periscope lens. We’ll likely see a new A17 Bionic chipset on both Pro models alongside a titanium bezel, solid-state buttons and more RAM.
While price increases aren’t necessarily good news, this could be a year of major upgrades for the Pro and Pro Max models, so you can at least feel like you’re getting your money’s worth.
Pu doesn’t say exactly how much the price could go up, but since it comes from a reputable source, it can be said to be a reliable claim. It is also clear that with the rising inflation around the world, Apple is doomed to make a price increase in the near future.
Of course, we can’t say that in many other regions outside the US, price increases are so rare…
