A research on the prices of Apple’s iPhone smartphones has attracted attention. Last month, Apple introduced its new smart devices at an event it organized. For example, Apple’s long-awaited iPhone 13 series starts at 11 thousand 999 TL.
A new study looked at iPhone prices around the world and their rise and fall over the years. Since its launch in 2007, the price of the iPhone has increased by more than 80 percent worldwide.
iPhone prices have risen more than 80 percent
According to a study conducted by Self, the price of iPhones has increased by more than 80 percent. The research showed that compared to the original iPhone, new models globally are currently up an average of $400. According to MacRumors, the iPhone 13 costs $437 more than the original iPhone in 38 countries.
So, what are the factors that cause the increase in iPhone prices? The primary reason for the price increase is more advanced technology and increased production costs. Inflation and Apple’s policy of increasing prices to counter economic growth also affect prices.
However, according to the study, many countries experienced inflation and growth in purchasing power during this period. “Our research shows that Apple has increased iPhone prices 26 percent more than local inflation rates. ” said.
In addition, the researchers created a map to show iPhone price changes in more than 30 countries over 14 years, with GDP calculations. According to this map, the biggest increase in iPhone prices is in the United Arab Emirates. It turns out that the last iPhone costs more than twice as much as the first model.
