The iPhone 15 launch is coming. Except for the surprise, his arrival should take place in the first half of September, and according to the latest information, this new generation of smartphones will be much more expensive than the current one. We don’t have official details yet, but various sources are talking about it an increase of up to $200.

It is important for you to note that the price of the iPhone 14 and all its variants has remained unchanged in the United States. In Europe, we had to expect a significant increase in prices which was generally due to inflation and the weakness the euro had against the dollar at the time.

At the moment the situation has improved. the euro rallied against the dollar, and that should be enough for Apple to reconsider the selling price of its other star terminals on the old continent. What I mean by this is that this rumored price increase could primarily affect the US market, but could be minimal or even non-existent in Europe.

What I’m saying makes sense and it’s the case that in Europe the price of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, to give the most expensive example, is 1,469 euros including taxes, which would be $1,587, while said terminal has a value $1,099 in the United States, tax free. The difference is huge.

If Apple raises the price of the iPhone 15 Max Pro in Europe to €1,669 would get into Marshy ground. The stated price would be extremely high and would overcome an important psychological barrier for consumers, namely 1,500 euros. I don’t know how much this would affect the sales of the terminal, but it is clear that in the current economic situation, many consumers would eventually feel a strong rejection and look for cheaper options.

As for the iPhone 15 Pro, the source says that its price could increase by 100 dollars-euros, which means that in Spain its price would become €1,419and in the United States it would cost $1,099. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus could remain at the same price level as the current generation, or will be more expensive by a maximum of 50 dollars-euros.

This price increase would be justified by the increase in the production costs of these new terminals and also Apple is rumored to be using titanium in the Pro models, the material is stronger and lighter than steel, but at the same time more expensive. There are fewer doubts left to clarify, but if this price increase is confirmed, the iPhone 15 will further distance itself from the average consumer.
