Nikkei Asia: Apple will raise prices for iPhone due to high costs
Apple will raise prices for iPhone 16 series smartphones, Nikkei Asia reports.
Media specialists, together with analysts from Fomalhaut Techno Solutions, studied the production costs of the iPhone 15 series smartphones. According to their calculations, the cost of the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max increased by ten percent compared to the cost of production of the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. Based on these data, experts suggested that the trend will continue and iPhone 16 series smartphones will become more expensive.
Thus, the cost of producing the display for the iPhone 15 Pro increased by 10 percent, the body by 43 percent, the processor by 27 percent, and the telescopic camera by 280 percent.
“As prices for essentials and services rise around the world, analysts were surprised that Apple maintained US prices for its latest iPhone models,” the story said. Fomalhaut Techno Solutions specialists emphasized that Apple will be forced to raise the cost of iPhone 16 smartphones, as it will no longer be able to ignore rising component prices and external economic factors.
In mid-October, Nikkei Asia experts said that the cost of components for the iPhone 15 Pro Max was just over $550. This turned out to be 12 percent more than the cost of the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
