Many of Apple’s most significant design changes for the iPhone 15 || آئی فون 15 have already been made public through leaks, but concerns are growing that the company could also boost prices. And now a well-known industry person has added fuel to those concerns.

In a recent research note seen by Barron’s, renowned Wed bush analyst Dan Ives stated categorically that the iPhone 15 range will unquestionably cost more than current models. Ives subsequently predicted that the average selling price (ASP) of the next iPhones will increase on CNBC.

New Apple Leak Confirms iPhone 15 Price Shock

Ives has a proven track record in this area; he previously forewarned Apple about price hikes for the iPhone 14 outside of the US, which they later implemented. With the iPhone 15 range, however, that is anticipated to change. Several experts and insiders forecast price increases of up to $200, notably for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max variants.

Ives hasn’t given a precise number, but he is (by far) the most well-known person to support these price increase assertions. While US consumers will obviously be concerned about this, overseas consumers may experience the largest shock because they may be subject to their second subsequent significant price hike.

New Apple Leak Confirms iPhone 15 Price Shock

Despite this, Ives is still positive on Apple and has increased his 12-month price objective for the company from $205 to $220. Ives’ analysis indicated that nearly 250 million iPhones had not been updated in more than four years, generating a massive backlog of prospective customers. He believes the iPhone 15 cycle might be a “trophy case” moment for the firm, selling 235-240 million devices.

We’ll have to wait and see if Apple did enough to promote the iPhone 15 range to get these sales. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are expected to have updated designs, and the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max versions are expected to have faster CPUs, better cameras, a “Action Button,” and a range-wide switch to USB-C. However, the overall enhancements are quite slight.

Early iPhone 16 reports also suggest that the device will be far more ambitious, with one well-known leaker even actively discouraging iPhone 15 upgrades. This year, Apple’s renownedly devoted fans will be put to the test when combined with price increases. 06/12 Update: I’ve heard from a reliable source who believes Apple will raise the price of the iPhone 15 as well. Ives predicts higher average selling prices (ASP) for the next iPhones, but my source predicts that in the US, this will most likely be achieved by raising the prices of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max rather than the ordinary versions.

My source thinks that a $100 hike is more probable than prior reports that suggested rises of up to $200 since Apple has not yet decided whether to increase the iPhone 15 || آئی فون 15 and iPhone 15 Plus prices. If accurate, the pricing breakdown would be as follows:

iPhone 15 costs $799.
$899 for an iPhone 15 Plus
$1,099 for the iPhone 15 Pro.
$1,199 for the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Given that the basic models are increasingly based on the Pro versions from the previous year, the bigger price difference between Pro and non-Pro would make a lot of sense. Like the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will have the same design and technology. The iPhone15 Pro and Pro Max, on the other hand, will have a revised design, a new processor, and better cameras.

Given that the majority of iPhones are also purchased on long-term contracts, a $100 price rise is unlikely to deter Pro purchasers, but the larger difference may be sufficient to revive basic model sales, which have been stagnant for some time. So, might raising pricing help Apple sell more iPhones? It’s really. 06/13 Update: Industry expert Jeff Pu of the financial services company Hai tong International Securities has chimed in with reports that Apple will raise the price of the iPhone15.

Pu predicts that an increase in the price of the iPhone15 Pro Max would result in an increase in the average selling price of iPhone15 models, according to an investor’s letter seen by Supercharged. This is in contrast to recent sources that said that both iPhone15 Pro versions will increase, with Apple’s priority being to expand the difference between Pro and ordinary iPhones.

Early in the year, there was considerable speculation that Apple will produce an iPhone15 Ultra to take the place of the Pro Max or even to sit above it at a higher price point, but that model was immediately dismissed. However, the iPhone15 Pro Max will set itself apart from the iPhone15 Pro with a periscope optical zoom lens; Apple may decide that this feature justifies a separate price increase.

Pu predicts that the iPhone15 range will have increased RAM performance, quicker LPDDR5 being released for regular models, as well as new 48-megapixel primary cameras with three-stacked sensors, in addition to lower prices. According to Apple’s trickle-down technique for recent generations of entry-level iPhones, this sensor first emerged on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.

In keeping with this trend, Pu claims that the iPhone 5 and iPhone15 Plus will employ the 4nm A16 Bionic processor from the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, while the iPhone15 Pro and Pro Max will use the next-generation 3nm A17. He emphasised once more that the periscope lens will only be available on the iPhone15 Pro Max.

From a development standpoint, Apple‘s plan of gradually integrating Pro capabilities into regular models makes a lot of sense. However, it cannot be denied that this gives the impression that entry-level iPhones are an afterthought. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus in particular have come under fire for being dull. A criticism that leakers have previously made against the iPhone15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
