Apple will unveil its new iPhone range at the Wanderlust event on September 12th. Like all iPhone events, this year is prone to rumors. Many of the new features of the iPhone 15 series have been widely leaked.
But what we have to wait for is the official price. When it comes to pricing, there is some good news and some bad news. Here we list the price prediction of the next iPhone 15 series.
As with previous iPhones, there are two standard iPhone models and two Pro models, which are sold at a higher price compared to the non-Pro models. Apple offers four new models: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Expected prices for iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
Let’s start with the good news. Apple will probably maintain the price of last year’s amateur models. The price of this phone started at $999 in the US. For Indian buyers, the starting price of the base model is Rs 79,900. The price of the new iPhone 15 Plus is Rs 89,900.
What’s new in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus?
The standard iPhone 15 model is expected to receive a significant upgrade. The new iPhone 15 is expected to get rid of the notch that was present in the iPhone X series. It replaces the Dynamic Island, which was first introduced in last year’s model. This increases the screen area for the user. The frame size is also expected to be slimmer. Another distant rumor suggests that Apple will upgrade the main camera from 12 megapixels to 48 megapixels. The iPhone 15 will feature the A16 Bionic chipset found in last year’s Pro model. Both non-Pro and Pro models also feature a USB Type-C port instead of a Lightning cable.
Expected price for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max
The Pro model has significant upgrades that increase the price. The price of the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to increase by $100. Last year the iPhone 14 Pro cost $999 in the US, but this year that price could rise to $1,099. In India, the iPhone 14 Pro was sold at a price of Rs 129,900. Indian buyers can expect a price hike of at least Rs 10,000.
The price of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is likely to rise even more. The Pro Max model is expected to cost $200 more. That could increase the introductory price to $1,299. Indian buyers will also see a significant price increase over last year’s model, which started at Rs 139,900.
What’s included in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max?
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have a new titanium frame instead of stainless steel. The use of titanium is intended to make cell phones stronger yet lighter. On the camera front, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a periscope lens that offers 5x to 6x optical zoom.
