Always there are a few months left for it to become official the announcement of iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro, but there are already countless rumors about them. Without going any further, we recently covered some pretty cool 9to5Mac renders that show off its design, along with some other news.
Some are good, and some are bad, as unfortunately happens in this case. iPhone 15 Pro Max price leaked, and that is not encouraging. It will go up, and not badly. The rumor comes from China, a place where they usually know these things with some advance, being the country where Apple mainly manufactures.
And we keep increasing: the expensive iPhone Pro Max
The iPhone 13 Pro Max had a launch price of 1,259 dollars in USA. The 14 Pro Max, from 1469 dollars. 210 dollars more. This is due to the unfavorable exchange rate of the euro against the dollar. However, the price of the iPhone itself has not changed. In the US, it’s still $999 (the Pro) and $1099 (the Pro Max).
You see the problem, right? What will happen now that, it seems, its price will increase in the United States? It seems that in USA and other countries it will increase even more. According to the outlet publishing this news, the price is expected to increase by 20,000 yen, around $150.
If we make a simple rule of three, we see that this increase, and taking the exchange rate as a constant, This would mean that the iPhone 15 Pro Max would be around 1670 dollars in its basic configuration. Nothing bad. Hopefully it comes with at least 256GB of storage (insert canned chuckles).
Either way, you have to be fair to Apple. Those of Cupertino have not raised the price of their products for a long time. They can’t do anything about currency changes. Ever since the iPhone X, which was introduced in 2017, the $999 has always been consistent. In fact, with this strategy Apple We can even say that the price is falling from year to yearnot having updated it for inflation.
we all knew that sooner or later it would happen. Production costs have increased a lot, along with the aforementioned inflation and other expenses to consider. Nobody likes having to pay more, but Apple is, after all, a company and like all of them wants to make money.
