According to the Chinese social media site Weibo, the price of the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro model may be increased to create a price gap from Apple’s iPhone 15 Plus smartphone. However, this information has not yet been fully verified.
The current prices of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max smartphones are $999 and $1099 respectively. If the price increases, it will be a record for an Apple smartphone.
It is believed that some exclusive features will be added to the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus smartphones. Currently, these features are offered only in the Pro model. Examples include Dynamic Island and a 48-megapixel camera.
There is going to be a big difference between pro and non-pro devices in terms of price and features. Apple is going to undertake a new strategy in determining the price of the iPhone 14 to iPhone 15 series.
The iPhone 14 series Plus model smartphone is available for $100 less than the Pro model. Jeff Pu, a technology analyst at Haitong International Securities, supported the bullish claim.
The price of the iPhone 14 model was estimated to increase by up to $100. But in reality, it did not happen. But outside the US, Apple has recently raised the price of the iPhone multiple times.
This happened due to fluctuations in the foreign currency values of various countries outside of America. The price of the new series is likely to increase in the future due to the current inflation in the US. Moreover, it may be to retain certain profits of the company. According to Apple’s usual schedule, the iPhone 15 series of smartphones may be released around September. The new series of Pro models can add up to ten additional features.
