If you're thinking of picking up a new iPhone later this year you should probably think again if rumors of a new, higher price are to be believed. Especially if you had your eye on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Historically the most expensive iPhone of all, the Pro Max is reportedly going to break new ground and become the most expensive iPhone ever when the iPhone 15 series is announced this September. That's according to a new report by China's United Daily News.
According to that report the iPhone 15 Pro Max will cost as much as RMB 20,000 which works out to be around $2,900 at the current exchange rate. To put that into perspective the iPhone 14 Pro Max currently sells for $1,099 in its 128GB configuration. Even the range-topping 1TB model sells for just $1,599. The prospect of Apple increasing the price so much is, frankly, insane. But that's what the report is claiming.

$2,900 in 2023 buying power.
Isn’t that like 1,500 in pre-Biden dollars?
What does it do for that kind of money????????/
Why, it raises your kids’ smartphones.
“She is the latest in technology
Almost mythology
But she has a heart of stone
She has an IQ of one thousand and one
She has a jumpsuit on
And she’s also a telephone”
I don’t know what it does special but I want one.
I notice these prices are quoted within China.
Am wondering if Apple has moved so much production out of china, that iPhones in China now must be imported from Vietnam or India.
That’s a bunch of irresponsible hogwash. And this dishonesty will permeate the consciousness of the less discerning among us. The author should be ignored.
Based on my experience with my Apple iPhone 12 and T-Mobile 5G, I’m ready to go back to a desktop wired black phone. The whole system sucks big time. Half my calls do not go through, 98% of those that do connect end abruptly with beep-beep-beep, garbled sound, unreliable ringing of the phone.
The whole mobile system is one-tenth as good as it was 25 years ago with a Moto StarTAK flip phone on CDMA.
The data service works reliably as do mobile apps that depend on mobile data (text, Spotify, sending photos, maps, etc). But voice calls? Bah!
Asinine article based on some baseless conjecture related to Chinese exchange rate. If the 14 Pro Max is $1,099, there’s no possible way that Apple will set the 15 Pro Max at $2,900. That’s not how these things are done.
$3,000 for a cell phone?
A sucker born every minute...
I’ll be taking a loan on my house. I’ve got to have this!
Is it made of gold? Might be a good investment…
You sound as confuse about human anatomy as Dylan Mulvaney.
At least I don’t drink Bud Light.
Yes, I too was wondering if that is the chinese tariffed price for an ‘American’ product.
Agreed, but that won't stop many here from assuming it is and trash Apple and iPhone users.
If it was twice as expensive, I’d want it five times as much. I would give the right side of my brain for one.
