news hardware iPhone 14: No model under $1000? For real ?
The iPhone is notoriously bad for the wallet, but this year the iPhone 14 is set to hurt even more than usual, according to a source retrieved from iPhon.fr.
$1029 for the cheapest iPhone 14
The iPhone 14 rumors are waning and the Apple keynote is coming tomorrow at 7pm. So it’s the home stretch for leakers to prove themselves and what people are most interested in is how much the next models will cost.
With the current situation We had long expected the iPhone 14 to rise in price. Between component shortages, conflicts and even euro-dollar imbalances, only a miracle could have kept the prices of Apple’s new smartphone at the same level as the 2021 iPhone 13.
After several leaks of potential iPhone 14 prices in dollars, The iPhon.fr site announces that it was obtained from whistleblowers official prices in dollars for the four iPhone 14 models in France.
Here you are :
- iPhone 14: 1029$ for 128Go, 1149$ for 256Go and 1379$ for 512Go
- iPhone 14 max: $1,129 at 128 Go, $1,249 at 256 Go and $1,479 at 512 Go
- iPhone 14 Pro: $1,279 at 128 Go, $1,399 at 256 Go and $1,629 at 512 Go
- iPhone 14 Pro Max: $1,379 at 128 Go, $1,499 at 256 Go and $1,729 at 512 Go
The difference to the iPhone 13 series is startling. The iPhone 13 mini was there so those who don’t want a huge screen could spend a little less, starting at $809. Unfortunately, that option is gone this year, and the iPhone 14, which will replace the standard iPhone 13, is up $120 to $1029.
The new iPhone 14 Max, which uses the recipe of a non-Pro iPhone but is the size of the iPhone 13 Pro Max (6.7-inch), starts here at $1129, almost the same as the iPhone 13 Pro. According to this information All iPhone 14s would start at 128GB, like last year.
Can we really believe this information about the iPhone 14?
It is already certain that we do not want to believe it. We meet with no model under 1000$, which would be a first for the iPhone. Also in 2017, with the launch of the iPhone X (the first with a 4-digit price), we were able to fall back on the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, which shared the same processor and started at $809.
Bath, We are entitled to wonder where the models with 1TB storage are. The Pro versions of the iPhone 13 boast of offering 1012GB versions for a price of up to $1839 for the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Is Apple abandoning this idea for the iPhone 14? Unlikely, but possible. Few people really need that much space on site and are both willing to spend that much on storage space.
The other question we ask ourselves is: Which models should Apple keep on their side? The iPhone 11 should logically disappear after three years of good and loyal service (and millions of sales). While the iPhone 12 may have another year to go, It wouldn’t be impossible to see the iPhone 13 disappear after just a year.
If the iPhone 13 stays in the range, it should drop its price by $100 to $809. Gold, With the iPhone 14 for 1029 dollars, the 13 series would cannibalize the newcomer with its 220 dollars less seriously.
