On Wednesday, According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple’s next iPhone can be more expensive than its predecessor.
Kuo believes that the average selling price of the combined iPhone 14 lineup may rise by 15 percent in comparison to the iPhone 13 lineup.
The standard iPhone 13 model starts at $799 (with carrier discounts), while the Pro and Pro Max models bump that price up to $999 and $1,099, respectively.
While Kuo doesn’t mention price predictions for individual devices, he believes the ASP of the iPhone 14 lineup (Pro models included) could be around $1,000 to $1,050.
He blames the average selling price increase on a potentially more expensive iPhone Pro and Pro Max, as well as a higher shipment proportion.
In June, According to The Sun, Wedbush Securities analyst Dave Ives said that he expects the iPhone 14 to cost $100 more than the iPhone 13 due to price increases impacting on the global supply chain. For the moment, a rumor from Korean leaker Lanzuk indicates that Apple will only rise the price of the Pro models, not the base iPhone 14.
On April 1, 1976, Apple was founded as Apple Computer Company by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne to develop and sell Wozniak’s Apple I personal computer.
