Analysts say Apple's iPhone 14 Pro is still the start of 128GB, despite rumors of a price increase
CTOnews.com Earlier this week, analyst Guo Mingxi claimed that Apple's iPhone 14 Pro model will be more expensive than the iPhone 13 Pro model. Guo did not disclose the exact price, but he said that the average price of all four iPhone 14 models will increase by about 15% overall.
TrendForce previously predicted that the iPhone 14 Pro model storage space will start at 256GB, while the iPhone 13 Pro model storage space will start at 128GB. However, Haitong International analyst Jeff Pu predicted today that the iPhone 14 Pro series models will continue to maintain the initial version of 128GB.
In the latest research report, Jeff Pu believes that Apple's new iPhone 14 Pro series models will still have the same storage capacity as the iPhone 13 Pro models, including 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB.
CTOnews.com has reported that according to recent supply chain surveys, Apple is still maintaining the same initial production of the iPhone 13 series and is expected to produce 91 million units in the second half of 22 years because there are no major problems in the supply chain. The next thing to look at is the pricing and time to market of the iPhone 14.
It is rumored that the iPhone 14 Pro's main new features include: a new A16 chip, replacing bangs with "pill + punch screen," upgrading to 48MP main camera, and support for 8K video recording. It also supports front-facing camera autofocus, larger 6GB memory and AOD info-screen displays showing lock screen time, date, widgets and newly added status bar battery percentage.
Apple is expected to release the iPhone 14 series in September. It's unclear whether the iPhone 14 standard models will also go up in price, as they still feature the A15 chip and lack some of the important upgrades of the Pro models. It is reported that the price of the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 will remain at $799.
