iPhone 14 and 14 Pro get price hikes outside the US, even iPhone SE (2022) is more expensive

Yesterday Apple unveiled the iPhone 14 series and during the live stream it presented the same prices as the equivalent phones from last year. There are two asterisks we need to attach to this statement. First, the iPhone mini is gone, which was the cheapest member of the premier Apple lineup. Also the iPhone 14 Plus doesn’t have a predecessor.

Second and more important, that statement is true for the US prices. And Canadian and Chinese prices too. But elsewhere the cost has gone up - after looking at the online Apple stores in several countries we found differences that range from minor to a whopping 25% hike.

iPhone 14 and 14 Pro prices (for the US)

Let’s start with the vanilla iPhone 14, which now stands as the cheapest new iPhone besides the SE (and we’ll talk about the SE in a moment too).

Next up, the iPhone 14 Pro, which is now tied with the vanilla phone as the smallest new iPhone (not counting the SE). The gap between the vanilla and Pro prices is worth looking at as the iPhone 14 uses the old Apple A15 chipset, still doesn’t have a HRR display or Always On, still no telephoto, it didn’t get the new 48MP main camera either.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max, the best of the best and the only phone worthy of the Max name. And with prices like these it better be – it’s starting to make foldable phones look not that expensive. Especially when you consider that the prices in these tables are for the base 128GB models.

Yes, all four iPhone 14 models still start at 128GB. For context, an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max in Germany will cost €130 more if you want 256GB storage.

The iPhone SE (2022) is the cheapest iPhone from 2022, but it didn’t escape our notice that it’s not as cheap as it was at launch. Let’s have a look:
