iPhone 14 expected to cost $100 more than the iPhone 13, prices in India can be around Rs 90,000

San Francisco: The upcoming iPhone 14 by Cupertino giant Apple, is all set to be unveiled this September. However, the iPhone 14 cost is likely to be $100 more than iPhone 13, says a new report.

Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives said the firm believes “a $100 price increase is coming for the iPhone 14”, AppleInsider reported citing the Sun. Roughly this means that in India the starting price of the iPhone 14 series cost will be as high as Rs 88,000 to Rs 90,000. The iPhone 13 debuted in India at Rs 79,900 in September 2021.

“Prices have been increasing across the whole supply chain, and Cupertino needs to pass these costs to the consumer on this release,” the analyst was quoted as saying.

Various elements within the components industry are raising prices for various reasons, such as Samsung raising chip production pricing by 20 per cent in May, following other foundries.

According to reports, the Covid-related lockdowns have also caused problems for Apple’s supply chain, with partners working to catch up on production.

A recent report said that the iPhone 14 and Pro models will come with 6.1-inch screens, while the Max and Pro Max models will be equipped with 6.7 in-inch screens.

However, the tech giant might discontinue the 5.4-inch iPhone mini this year.

Meanwhile, another report mentioned that its Pro version may come with ‘Always On Display’ due to a better screen refresh rate.
