-Trix-, 07 Oct 2022That's not Apple fault. Without current world situatio... moreSure, that is why in my country (European country), Pixel 7 series (from Google, an American company) cost exactly the same like last year Pixel 6 series (not even 10EUR more). While iPhone 14 series are 250EUR more expensive.
Apple must be answering to different laws. Lol.

    [deleted post]I was thinking the same, fake make Apple relevant hype article. I'm so sick of hearing about Apple. No other manufacturer gets as much attention as apple does in the tech world.

      Hardly newsworthy who cares

        That can only be because of the brand new camera bulb design!

                  That doesn't change the fact that it is basically the same phone as the iPhone 13 and terrible value compared to the cheaper iPhone 13 Pro.

                    All the more reason to go Pro this year because this shows how much of a better deal the Pro models really are than their non-Pro counterparts, in North America at least.

                      What there is to justify? IPhone cost more to make than before and yet Apple kept same price, well done Apple! No wonder the 14 Pro sales are sky high

                        build a PC at original cost. No extra cost. Meanwhile the phone can be expensive like Fairphone. It cost €579 while 14 is about the same hmmmmmm

                          The SOLE blame on smartphone prices is on carriers in the US. Any and all subsidized pricing over years or months is predatory and monopolistic. Smartphone subsidies should be banned worldwide

                            Moving the volume button cost a lot!!! Wow!!!

                              Production of the iPhone 14 Pro Max costs $501, a huge increase from the $461 cost of its predecessor, and the main reason is the A16 Bionic chip, costing $110 alone.

                              Yess, a huge one indeed. But still, no complaints because they start at the exact same price. Non pro models should be discounted $150 so that more people buy them

                                $501 for a phone while my dumb country is pricing them above $1700. How fair lol.
