iPhone 14 & iPhone 14 Pro price hike won't be very steep, reveals report

Even before the official launch of iPhone 14, the Apple device seems to be creating the right buzz around it. The highly-anticipated next-generation device will be unveiled at Apple’s ‘Far Out’ event slated for September 7. While key details such as pricing, technical specifications are under wraps, numerous reports are hinting at several possibilities.

According to a latest report by TrendForce, iPhone 14 is likely to be cheaper by USD 50 (about Rs 3.969) compared to iPhone 14 that started off at USD 800 (about Rs 63,512). The latest addition, the iPhone 14 Max may cost USD 100 (Rs 7,939) more than the base model. This hike may put the price of the Max model at around USD 850 (about Rs 67,481) or USD 900 (about Rs 71,451). Both, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are likely to get a hike of USD 100.

Reportedly, Apple is anticipating better sales with its iPhone 14 line-up and it has informed the suppliers that it will ship close to 95 million devices. The Cupertino-based tech giant has reportedly instructed its suppliers to increase the number of units by 5 per cent. This is in contrast to the company’s earlier expectations.


The price difference between the standard and Pro models also indicate that the iPhone 14 will miss out on some crucial updates that will remain exclusive to the Pro variants. The Pro models will come with the powerful A16 Bionic chipset, 120Hz LTPO displays, LPDDR5 RAM, upgraded FaceID system, always-on display function, enhanced ultra-wide cameras, 48MP main sensor that supports 8K video recording, etc.
