Apple is currently gearing up for an event to showcase iPhone 15. However, mobile gamers have started to worry following reports claiming the upcoming iPhone to be an expensive one. Furthermore, the pro version of the upcoming iPhone could be significantly more expensive than its predecessor.
In an article by Digitimes, it is claimed, “The pricing of the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus will not see much of a change from the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. But the Pro series is likely to suffer from a major price hike because of the chassis upgrades from stainless steel to titanium and the periscope lens upgrade, which is only for the Pro Max, for performing 5-6x optical zoom.”
Multiple reasons are causing this price spike. The economic blowback, coupled with fluctuations in USD and inflation can be the primary cause of the increased price. While it is hard to pinpoint the cause, the device however is offering some major upgrades for the increased price.
