The iPhone 14 will likely be announced next month. While analysts and whistleblowers have been reporting on this upcoming phone all this year, the closer we get to its release date, the more we hear about it. The latest rumors are about the price of the iPhone 14 series.
According to user yeux1122 on Korean blog Naver (via MacRumors), Apple will keep the iPhone 14 price at $799 despite supply chain volatility and price increases. They mention that the decision was made “at the highest management level”, saying that Apple took into account the “stagnation in the global mobile phone market and declining demand.”
It is important to take into account several things. For example, the base model iPhone 13 starts at $699 with the iPhone 13 mini, while the regular iPhone 13 starts at $799. According to yeux1122, Apple will stay at $799 for the 6.1-inch iPhone 14, although it will now be the cheapest option for those looking for the latest iPhone.
With that in mind, it’s likely that the rumored iPhone 14 Plus/Max will start at $899 if Apple only follows up with a $100 increase, which makes sense.
While manufacturing costs and global volatility may drive up the price of the iPhone 14, it’s important to note that Apple is cutting back on several new features that the iPhone 14 Pro will have, such as higher pixel quality, premium finishes, a new processor besides a third camera. lens, LiDAR scanner, new design, etc.
Last but not least, it’s important to consider that yeux1122 has mixed record tracking. They were partially right about the iPad mini 6 and iPhone SE 3. They said it would support MagSafe charging (which it doesn’t), but they were right about the 4GB of RAM. By the beginning of the year, they said that the iPhone 14 Pro could have 8GB of RAM, which of course we have yet to confirm.
