A thousand yuan price increase for iPhone 14 Pro?
Oct 04, 2022| A thousand yuan price increase for iPhone 14 Pro?
The price of the iPhone 14 Pro may rise from 7,999 yuan for the iPhone 13 Pro series to 8,999 yuan, local media reported today, citing supply chain rumors. The price increase of 1000 yuan roughly corresponds to the $100 range in the North American market.
Rumors of price increases are commonplace for Apple. Earlier, Gurman said in a report that the iPhone 14 price hike will be halted this year.
In the end is the price or do not rise......
Our guess is that Apple will likely raise the price of the iPhone 14 Pro series and keep the price of the standard iPhone 14. Up, but not quite.
Let's break it down. This year's iPhone 14 model dropped the Mini, the smallest and cheapest, and now includes the 14 Max (known as the Plus) between the 14 and 14 Pro, with a larger screen but positioned as standard. Mr. Gulman predicts that the iPhone 14 Max will be at least $200 cheaper than the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which translates into a price range of 2,000 yuan.
The iPhone 14 starts at 5,999 yuan, the iPhone 14 Max starts at 6,799 or 6,999 yuan, the iPhone 14 Pro starts at 8,999 yuan, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max starts at 9,999 yuan.
Key among them is the price of the iPhone 14 Max. It's the first iPhone in years to have a larger screen than a venti, and it's expected to be the biggest seller this year. To boost sales of the iPhone 14 Max, Apple will need to secure the price difference between it and the 14 Pro.
Apple learned that lesson with the iPhone 12, selling early Pro models out of stock. Because the difference between 128GB iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro is only 1500 yuan.
Budget-conscious consumers may prefer the iPhone 12 Pro in exchange for a higher-quality Samsung screen, a better body, and a more Pro camera system...... Presumably, with this year's iPhone 14, Apple will avoid knife mistakes.
