According to a new rumor, Apple will not increase the price of the 6.1-inch iPhone 14.
About the iPhone 14 we already have everything very clear. A similar design, except for the double hole in the screen that replaces the notch in the iPhone 14 Pro, important improvements in the cameras, a limited processor in the iPhone 14 range, and even the colors in which it will be available. We have also heard rumors about prices and now we have new interesting information.
According to a post by account “yeux1122” on the Korean blog Naver, Apple will not increase the price of the regular iPhone 14 in order to boost sales and offset declining demand amid a slowdown in the global smartphone market. That is, the iPhone 14 price will be $799the same as the iPhone 13.
An important decision from the highest spheres
Reportedly keep the price of the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 this year is a decision that was made “at the highest executive level”despite Apple facing rising production costs and ongoing supply chain problems.
Although it may seem like good news, there are a few things to keep in mind. On the one hand, it is expected the normal 6.1-inch iPhone 14 is a fairly discreet evolution compared to the iPhone 13. It will continue to use the same A15 Bionic processor, or a version with slight improvements, we will still have the notch and there would be no design changes.
In addition, although it is true that the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 will not go up in price, the price of access to the iPhone 14 range will increase. This year we will not have the iPhone 14 mini, so the cheapest iPhone in the new range will be 100 euros more expensive than the iPhone 13 mini. In return we will have the iPhone 14 Max, a device that will probably cost $899 and will capture a large volume of sales.
It should also be borne in mind that this information refers to the normal iPhone 14, the Pro models will probably increase in price. The information we have speaks of $100 price increase on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Maxso it seems that there will be a greater distance between the two ranges, both in terms of performance and price.
