Analyst Believes That Apple Intends to Focus More on the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, but Consumers Will Have to Pay More for Them
A note shared by Ped30 from Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives mentions the massive shipments figure. However, another report claims that Apple intends to ship around 95 million units in 2022. Since the technology does not share shipment numbers with supply chain reports, it is difficult to share a concrete figure, so it is no surprise that number variations exist from different sources. As for Ives, he also comments that there is expected to be increased focus on the more premium iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max while also mentioning that both models will be $100 more expensive. Thankfully, for customers who do not want to upgrade to the ‘Pro’ models and see value in the regular iPhone 14 versions, Ives’ note states that he does not see a price increase happening for the less expensive variants. As for why we believe the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be more expensive, Ives made this prediction earlier too, and looking at the rumored upgrades, the price increase may be warranted. For instance, you will get to see the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max exclusively ship with the A16 Bionic, faster, more efficient LPDDR5 RAM, a 48MP main camera, and a ProMotion panel, all of which will cost Apple a hefty sum if it has ordered a large quantity for its initial run in 2022. Apple’s flagship phone series is expected to get unveiled in September, and we will keep you in the loop on all updates, so stay tuned.
