The average iPhone 14 price maybe 15% higher than the iPhone 13 due to the increase in the starting price of the iPhone 14 Pro, but Apple can make the price increase well worth it.
According to Tom’s Guide, recent rumors suggest that the iPhone 14 Pro will be priced at $100 (from $999 to $1,099) over its predecessor, and the same goes for the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which will cost $1,199. Meanwhile, the regular iPhone 14 price will still start at $799, while the iPhone 14 Max model will cost $899.
The price increase can be a little daunting for potential buyers, but there is good news that will make many people accept this. Specifically, for the iPhone 13 Pro series, Apple offers 128GB of internal storage as standard for $999, alongside 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB options that cost an extra $100 each.
Meanwhile, a report from TrendForce indicates that 256 GB will be the standard level of internal storage for the iPhone 14 Pro series, so if Apple adds $100 to the starting price of the iPhone 14 Pro, the price will not make any difference. compared to the 256 GB iPhone 13 Pro. This means Apple is simply forcing users to buy a 256GB iPhone Pro instead of 128GB like before.
Apple is said to hold an event to launch the iPhone 14 series on September 13 before accepting orders for them on September 16 and selling them on September 23. The starting price of the iPhone 14 series can fall to 799 USD.
