Apple could raise the price iPhone 15 Pro And iPhone 15 Pro Max, according to a report by Bloomberg. This follows previous reports from industry analysts Wedbush and Haitong which claimed that the iPhone 15 series would have a higher average selling point than the iPhone 14.
The report is from Bloomberg’s technology desk, and claimed that Apple plans to raise iPhone prices to keep revenue stable even as the smartphone market heads for a slump. According to the report, Apple plans to ship 85 million iPhones this year, compared to 90 million the company ordered for the iPhone 14 last year.

These will be expensive phones, but this best android phones and the best foldable devices have already pushed the boundaries of what could be considered expensive. At the same time, these will be the most expensive iPhones yet and the sticker shock, if it’s over a giant, could be a little harsher than before.
It’s over $1000
Though Apple’s iPhones (especially the Pro models) are expensive, this will mark the first time all of the company’s Pro phones have all cost over $1,000 (not that $999 would have been a significant differentiator).
Apple could justify the price hike with new materials – some reports claim the iPhone would benefit titanium in the new iPhone. Another claims the company is working on one Periscope camera for iPhone 15 Pro Max. Some even claim that the iPhone 15 Pro Max could become one iPhone 15 Ultra for brand synergies with the Apple Watch Ultra. All of this represents a very exciting upgrade coming this year. It’ll only cost a pretty penny
