Apple iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models, which are two highly anticipated smartphones in the tech industry are reported to see major price hikes compared to their predecessors. In the latest report, Tim Long, an analyst at British bank Barclays, said the prices of the Pro models will see a significant increase while the vanilla trims are said to be unaffected.
Earlier, it was reported that Apple may increase the price of Pro models in order to keep a good cut to increase their revenue in the declining smartphone market. In a new update, MacRumors has obtained a new research note which says iPhone 15 Pro costs up to $100 more than the iPhone 14 Pro, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max is $100 to $200 more expensive than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. He believes pricing will remain similar for the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models.
Here are the reported prices of the upcoming iPhone 15 series in comparison with the iPhone 14 series:
iPhone 15 (unchanged): $799
iPhone 15 Plus (unchanged): $899
iPhone 15 Pro: $1,099 (up from $999 currently)
iPhone 15 Pro Max: $1,299 (up from $1,099 currently)
iPhone 15 Pro Max is also said to get a periscope technology which will allow users to take up to 6x zoom photos without blur which is much better than the iPhone 14 Pro models. However, Apple has not confirmed anything about the upcoming smartphone series.
