Last month, Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives said that Apple was working to secure the supply chain around the new iPhone, although these arrangements would have consequences for the consumer’s pocket.
In a timely manner, the analyst indicated that in the previous scenario, Apple would apply “a price increase of 100 dollars (about 2 thousand Mexican pesos) for the iPhone 14”.
Ives noted that “prices have increased throughout the supply chain and Cupertino needs to pass these costs on to the consumer in this launch.”
In this way, considering that the projections indicate that Apple will kill the version to favor the launch of a larger standard iPhone, we have that this entry model could be sold for 799 dollars (16 thousand 578 pesos), which means $100 more than the iPhone 13 mini cost last year.Well, now these forecasts sound stronger and stronger and now it is the renowned laker yeux1122 who, on the Korean blog Naver, claims that Apple will keep the price of the iPhone 14 at $799, the same price as the standard version of the iPhone 13.

The most recent report states that this decision was made by “the highest executive level” after considering “the global stagnation of smartphones and the decrease in demand.”
With this in mind, we can expect the rumored iPhone 14 Plus/Max to start at $899, which makes perfect sense.
The matter would be good news. And it is that without an iPhone 14 mini, the entry price would remain in a certain way; however, the benefit will not be for everyone.
These prices, designed for the United States, do not consider taxes or inflationary pressure, factors that would mean, for example, that the iPhone 14 could cost more than 900 euros in Spain.
For now, there is nothing left to do but wait until September to be certain about it.
