iPhone 14 will be more expensive than its predecessor due to increased component costs [Gerücht]


from Sarah Petzold –
Anyone who is flirting with the purchase of the new iPhone 14 will probably have to put more money on the table than with the corresponding predecessor model. Because as several analysts claim, the price will probably increase by 100 US dollars due to more expensive components.

Increased prices as a result of inflation do not stop at the electronics industry either. According to current reports, the new iPhone 14 will also be affected, with Apple fans expecting price increases of around 100 US dollars depending on the model. The reason for this is apparently the increased cost of individual smartphone components.

More expensive components and additional features cause prices to increase

Dan Ives, analyst at Wedbush Securities explained:
“While the base iPhone is the same price [wie das Vorjahresmodell] When the new model launches, we expect a $100 price increase for the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max due to recent increased component prices and additional features in this new model.”

The well-known industry insider Ming-Chi Kuo had already announced an increase in the price of the iPhone 14 Pro models and assumed that the prices for the iPhone 14 line-up would rise by around 15 percent overall – across all models. That could mean that the iPhone 14 Pro won’t launch for around $1,000 like the iPhone 13 Pro, but could cost $1,100 instead. The magical 1,000 mark would then be exceeded.

Ultimately, every buyer has to decide for themselves whether the improvements compared to the iPhone 13 justify the price increases of the iPhone 14. The iPhone 14 Pro should at least appear without a notch, but with an A16 chip, improved memory, a 48MP camera including 8K support and iOS 16. The iPhone 14 Pro is also rumored to come with at least 256GB of storage, which is twice as much as the cheapest iPhone 13 Pro models.
