Bad deal: Apple’s new iPhone could increase its price by around 100 euros due to increased costs and we already know that the entire market tends to follow Apple in all its decisions.
We said a few months ago that 2022 was going to be a bad year for teléfonos inteligentes, and it’s the truth with inflation at record highs across most of the planet Very negative news is already expected for our industry: the first is that giants like Samsung are planning to disminuye their production and Apple handles a very significant price increase which will impact their new iPhones to offset the increase in production costs.
doesn’t matter Cell phones have never been so expensive as it is now, with an average price of over $300 last year, and that will certainly increase in 2022, even if that implies a decrease in the sales figures already expected at the beginning of the year, with Samsung. and Apple precisely as the main beneficiary.
This time they were the companions of GizChina those echoing a message that has spread like wildfire through the North American media Dan Ives, analyst at Wedbush Securitiessay to The sun to “A price increase of about $100 is coming to the iPhone 14” due to the high inflation and the higher bill in the cost of production.
Prices have risen globally across the supply chain, and Apple needs to pass those costs on to consumers in its next releases. Dan Ives, analyst at Wedbush Securities.
It’s the truth Inflation has been plaguing the market for months in almost every field, and we’re all plunging into a seemingly endless sea of price hikes that will no doubt equipo a bad precedent móvil industrywhere what goes up doesn’t usually come back down.
You have to acknowledge that in any case even though the world is beginning to weather the Covid storm and the problems related to logistics and Shares global, there is still a clear shortage of semiconductors and chips worldwide, which would be Apple’s main reason for this price increase.
And that, according to Dan Ives himself, Samsung followed other competing companies and increased the price of its chips by 20%and several other companies that manufacture components have also increased their prices for various reasons It seems logical that Apple wants to pass on this increase in costs to its customers and users, both regular and potential.
The biggest concern isn’t that Apple is trying to maintain its margins by raising the price of its best iPhones, but that the entire industry has an inherent tendency to follow them in all their decisions, so we’re seeing a very general price increase could end of 2022.
Anyway, for me it’s the worst the usual way for other manufacturers to follow Apple in almost all of his moves and strategies, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable Also expect an overall price increase in the Android catalogue for the third and fourth quarter of 2022.
Be that as it may, there is room for hope as the analysts themselves confirm this Apple would study the possibilities very closely to prevent this significant price increase from impacting consumers and sales of their next iPhone, simply transfer these higher costs to the models ‘Professional’ more expensive and thus keep the input units at prices afín to the current ones.
In fact, and to add to that, all groups are about that Only the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will feature the latest Apple A16 Bionic chipsetDitch the affordable versions to reintroduce the old Apple A15.
Could this explain why only the ‘mantras’ are increasing in price? Will it be like this in the end? There are still many questions…
