iPhone 14: Rumoured price and the factors surrounding it
According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple could increase the price of the iPhone 14 by about 15%. Currently, iPhone 13 is priced at $799 (Rs 63,990 in India) with prices rising to $999 and $1099 for the Pro (Rs 1,19,900) and Pro Max (Rs 1,29,9000). The iPhone 13 Mini is priced at $699 (Rs 69,900), but it is heavily rumoured that the iPhone 14 will not come with a mini version. According to Kuo, the Average Selling Price (ASP) of the iPhone 14 could be between $1,000-$1,050. The price hike has been chalked up to the price hike of the iPhone Pro and a ‘higher shipment proportion’.
— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) August 10, 2022 Wedbush Securities analyst Dave Ives believes that the new iPhone 14 could be priced around $100 more than the iPhone 13 due to the rising supply chain costs. So, after launching the iPhone 13 for exactly the same price as iPhone 12, it seems that Apple will be hiking the price of the new iPhone this year. Prices in India could also be affected by inflation and the Rupee taking a hit against the dollar.
