As the countdown to the launch of Apple’s new flagship phones begins, the price of the iPhone 16 series is eagerly anticipated. Expected to be unveiled in the fall, we explore the latest price predictions for these flagship models.
iPhone 16 Price and Recent Price Trends
Apple has managed to keep the base model iPhone prices stable over the last few years. From the iPhone 12 to the iPhone 15, the standard models were sold at a starting price of $799 in the United States. The Pro models remained at $999.
In addition, last year saw a price increase for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which was introduced at $1,199. Apple cited increased storage capacity and advanced camera features as the reasons for the price hike.
According to a report by Nikkei Asia, the production costs of the iPhone 15 series significantly increased compared to the previous generation. The same source estimated the production cost of the iPhone 15 Pro Max to be $558. In this scenario, Apple had to either raise prices or sacrifice profit margins. By increasing the price only for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the tech giant chose a middle ground.
Rumors suggest that the iPhone 16 series, especially the Pro models, will feature more advanced camera technologies. According to Economic Daily, Apple will use much higher quality lenses to produce thinner and lighter phones, which will increase costs.
While some sources indicate that various changes are planned to reduce the costs of A17 Bionic chips, it is generally believed that the iPhone 16 series will be a more expensive product package compared to the iPhone 15.
In light of this information, the iPhone 16 is expected to be sold at $899, reflecting a $100 price increase. Similarly, the iPhone 16 Plus is also anticipated to see a $100 hike, bringing its price to $999 without surpassing the psychological barrier.
Lastly, the iPhone 16 Pro Max or iPhone 16 Ultra model is projected to be priced at $1,299. In summary, each new iPhone model is likely to see a $100 price increase. Given the uncertainties surrounding exchange rates and Apple’s policies, it is challenging to make an early prediction about the price in Turkey.
