Despite inflation, iPhone 14 won’t be as expensive as we thought

At least that’s what the rumors suggest, and whenever we’re talking about an entry-level model. FROM MacRumors they echo the alleged price leak of the base iPhone 14, which, despite global inflation, will maintain a starting price at the level of the iPhone 13 since last year.

Logically, this is an unconfirmed extreme, but the absence of a cheaper model, still limited to the iPhone mini that came with 12 and 13, would keep the price of the base model. The much-rumored rise will be more model-focused premium from Apple, i.e. for iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.

This is an important point, because this year, if the rumors are confirmed at launch, we will see the iPhone 14 Plus, so those who are looking for a larger terminal will no longer have to resort to the very expensive Pro Max. What you see is yes, its price has increased due to the quality of its materials and the fact that they will carry new Apple chips.

Keep iPhone base prices down despite economic slowdown

This is exactly how Apple will keep prices down: by keeping the chips (and some of the components) of the iPhone 13 in the iPhone 14, It will also reduce costs and therefore keep last year’s prices for the base model.

If you pay attention to this relationship of reasons collected in the Korean edition vesselApple will not raise the price of its next flagship entry-level device to boost sales and offset declining demand amid a slowdown in the global smartphone market.

Apparently, and according to MacRumorsThe decision to freeze the price of the base iPhone 14 was made “at the highest executive level” despite the company facing higher production costs.

If Apple releases the iPhone 14 at the same price as last year’s iPhone 13, it would be the second year in a row that the price of the base iPhone remains the same: $799.
