According to a new Apple exclusive, the iPhone 15 will cost more than many people expected.
Key Highlights :
A new report from Haitong International Securities tech analyst Jeff Pu (via MacRumors), claims Apple will increase prices for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max worldwide. Pu cites hardware upgrades, including a new titanium chassis, solid-state volume and mute buttons, the barnstorming A17 chip, increased RAM and a periscope zoom lens as the primary drivers. The analyst is the most recognized name yet to throw his weight behind talk of price rises after recent leaks claimed the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max may increase by as much as $200 each. Assuming the same storage options, this would result in the following price points: iPhone 15 Pro: $1,199 (128GB), $1,299 (256GB), $1,499 (512GB), $1,699 (1TB) iPhone 15 Ultra: $1,299 (128GB), $1,399 (256GB), $1,599 (512GB), $1,799 (1TB) Interestingly, this would open a massive $400 gap to the iPhone 15 (from $799) and iPhone 15 Plus (from $899), as standard iPhone models are expected to be unchanged. It might also be genius. The reason for this is carrier contracts. Most iPhones are sold on contract and a $200 price increase, while a shock for buyers, would be relatively easy to swallow when spread over a 2-3 year contract.
