iPhone 15's Record High Production Costs Could Push Up iPhone 16 Prices
The iPhone 15's production costs are appreciably higher than those of last year's iPhone 14 models, marking record high component prices that...
Right? MacRumors is pretty trashy in the sense that they keep repeating this clickbait shit.
Except the iPhone 8 was $999… Apple just called it the iPhone X and also released a cheaper phone called the iPhone 8
Lol, of course it will. These devices will keep inching on the pricing with every release until we stop buying them.
Don't get me wrong, the iPhone is a superb smartphone. If I were Apple's CEO, I'd probably have and unspoken target to push the prices up as long as unit sales weren't impacted too much. As soon as sales taper off, I'd lower the price overnight and hand it to marketing to spin the story for the masses.
This always gets said, but there hasn’t been a price increase in years.
If collectively everyone stopped buying them the price would go down.
Did you see the lineups of people buying them? Even locally here they had to have security people and queues to keep things organized. And people in some countries were lined up in the hundreds to buy and resell at even higher prices than what they paid.
There are lots of people with enough disposable income to buy them even at current prices.
STFU about pushing up prices.
Still have my 13 Mini and see no reason to "upgrade". The difference between model generations is less than paper thin these days, especially if you're not into using your phone as a camera.
Great :( I was gonna hold out until the 16 for an upgrade, but was hoping it would maybe be cheaper (big ask I know). The 15 is already pricey imo
My advice would be to wait for the 16 to buy a new 15, you still get a brand new flagship phone at a significant savings. Also it's not like there are many feature differences between each model these days.
To the average user there are zero differences.
I think they need to at least double the price.
With credit agreements, anyone can afford them and I feel uncomfortable talking on my iPhone when next to a poor person with the same model.
If they are serious about being a luxury brand, they must do more to them out of the hands of poor people.
Please take a break from the computer, and go touch some fucking grass
They are obviously being sarcastic.
