TrendForce: iPhone 14 price hikes may be smaller than expected

31 August 2022
In fact, the vanilla iPhone 14 may be a bit cheaper than its predecessor - though not as cheap as the mini was.

            Ahh yes, inflation and rising component costs, but the greediest company in the world is going to drop the price of their products? Nice joke. 🤣 Trend force clearly just wants attention at this point...

Battery capacity might increase a bit. Nothing really significant to differentiate it from Iphone 13, which after price cut from launch of Iphone 14, will be a better choice.

                usb c, please

                  I would like apple to announce the iphone 14 series as "a16" chipsets - a number upgrade to lure customers to upgrade, but at the same time, the true a16 chipset should be called the "a16 Pro" for the iPhone Pro series

                    As regards the question of Mini, I think the most reasonable thing to do would be to merge the SE and Mini lines, and update it every 2 years. The SE design is pretty outdated now and the next SE could use the form factor and design of Iphone 13 mini. Basically, the next Iphone SE could be a mildly update Iphone 13 mini at around $499 price point.

                    SE and Mini lines combined still account for around 10% of total iphone sales, and it would not make commercial sense to abnadon this space altogether.

                      Anonymous, 01 Sep 2022Nobody questioned that the others outsell it. Please think ... moreNo they didn't know that the mini will sell this bad. That's why they lowered orders for the 12 mini twice while the other models sold strong. They tried again with highly improved battery life which was the no 1 complaint people had and 13 mini still performed miserably. People don't want small phones anymore! Get over it 🤷‍♂️

                        I wonder what are the upgrades for Vanilla Iphone 14 compared to Iphone 13. As per reports, chipset is the same, design is the same, display is the same and there is no news about any meaningful camera hardware upgrade. Might as well rename the Iphone 13 as Iphone 14 and sell it at $699. Iphone 14 Max can be launched at $799.

                          +100$ or +200$
                          Still a good price compared to global inflation....
                          Thank you Apple

                            The mini is in less demand than the bigger ones but has a demand none the less. Apple themselves for sure knew before making it that the mini would sell less than others.
                            It still sells

                            So why don't you go practice something called logic.

                              “Small” price hike for US MSRP can mean 20 to 30% price increase in some markets, on top of Apple’s already obligatory 30% markup.

                                  That means 14 pro max will be equivalent of ~2k $ in Pakistan

                                    Pricer lower prediction is never right...
