However, we are a few months away from the iPhone 14 launch date, however, almost everything about them has already leaked as schematics, 3D prints and screen protectors have appeared. Some time ago, the possible price of the iPhone 14 lineup was also leaked, predicting a price hike that an analyst has now revealed may be true.
We are living in a tumultuous time in the international market and there have been analysts who say this could affect Apple if this continues over time. And those affected will especially be the company’s users who live outside of the US and want to buy new devices like the iPhone 14.
Frightening prediction about iPhone 14 price!
Although Apple posted record profits for the first quarter of the year, The company warned that current-quarter revenue would suffer between $4 billion and $8 billion due to five issues that CEO Tim Cook himself described. Apple’s second-quarter 2022 revenue could be affected for the following reasons:
- Parts shortage
- COVID19 disruption in China
- Exchange rate shortfall
- Loss of revenue in Russia
- Inflation reduces health Consumer Purchases
With that in mind, an analyst has revealed that iPhone prices could increase outside of the US when the iPhone 14 lineup launches in the fall. Chris Caso warns that the problem with exchange rates can be long-lasting, and while it can affect all Apple devices, it’s usually more noticeable around the time of new releases.
However, we see the influence of FX and Russia as more permanent and now worry that Apple may have to appreciate the local currency when it launches new products in the fall if the exchange rate remains unchanged here. When this has happened in the past, rising local prices have had a negative impact on unit demand.
The price of the iPhone hasn’t increased since Apple launched the iPhone X in 2017. Only with the arrival of the “iPhone Max” did we see the price increase, but the “base model” remained the same price. $999, or 1,159 euros. This year, that could change, although it’s a move Apple should think about because it could seriously affect device sales.
