Earlier this week, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said he expects iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max to be more expensive than the current iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max variants.
Of course, we are still a few weeks away from the official announcement and, as of now, everything is just speculation, but there’s a lot already rumored about the iPhone 14 Pro – which will likely be a great upgrade.
I estimated iPhone 14 series ASP would increase by about 15% (vs. iPhone 13 series ASP) to $1,000-1,050 (USD) due to two iPhone 14 Pro’s price hikes & higher shipment proportion.
In June, Trendforce reported that iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max could start with a 256GB storage option, ditching the current 128GB base model.
With that, a $50 price increase for double the base storage would be a great addition for users, especially with Apple making the most important update to iPhone cameras in years with this update.
Additionally, US carriers also offer great discounts apart from trade-in options, which means many users won’t ever notice that price increase with a combined carrier plan or after trading in their current iPhone model.
Do you think this price increase could affect whether you would buy the next iPhone Pro model?
