iPhone 13 design and size |
Ahead of the new iPhones going official, several details
about the upcoming phone have surfaced online in the form of rumors and leaks,
giving us a hint about what to expect. Now, details about the phone’s pricing
have leaked online.
Every year, the pricing of a new series of iPhone is one of the announcements Apple fans are waiting to hear. While the company is still approximately eight to nine months away from launching the iPhone 14 lineup, a new leak claims it could be sold at a higher price range than its predecessor.
Apple is widely anticipated to discontinue the “mini” model
in the iPhone 14 lineup. But the tech giant is still expected to announce four
new phones this year.
There are two expected standard models with 6.1-inch and
6.7-inch screens that could be called iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max,
respectively. There are also two Pro models predicted to have the same display
sizes that could be named iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Over the last couple of years, the prices of new iPhones
have not changed that much. The iPhone 13 mini, the cheapest in the latest
series, is available starting at $699.
But the first information on the iPhone 14 prices suggests
that it will change in 2022. LeaksApplePro, a leaker with a mixed track record,
recently claimed that “Apple is currently considering” selling the base model
starting at $799. The same tipster added that the price changes may have been
caused by increasing production costs.
The leak further suggests that Apple would retain the $200
price difference between the standard and Pro models and that the $100 increase
is being considered for all models in the iPhone 14 series. That means the
starting prices for the rest of the models could be $899 for the “iPhone 14
Max,” $1,099 for the “iPhone 14 Pro,” and $1,199 for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models are expected
to feature a major redesign. Apple is rumored to replace the notch with a
pill-shaped hole-punch cutout, while the standard models would reportedly sport
a “refined notch.”
Leaker ShrimpApplePro said the new hole-punch would look
similar to the Samsung Galaxy S10+ selfie camera, and the Face ID hardware
would be hidden under the display.
As with other leaks, it is best to take these bits of
information with a grain of salt. As mentioned, the launch of the iPhone 14
lineup is still far off — possibly in September — giving Apple enough time to
make some changes.
