Apple is predicted to announce the iPhone 13 in September. Ahead of the launch, the estimated price of each iPhone 13 variant has been revealed, how much does it start?
Based on a leak from industry analyst TrendForce, the price of the iPhone 13 will be the same as the iPhone 12 as long as Apple can control production costs considering that this latest model does not bring significant hardware upgrades.
If you follow these predictions, then the price of the iPhone 13 line will likely be as follows:
iPhone 13 mini: USD 699 (64GB), USD 749 (128GB), USD 849/Rp 12.2 million (256GB)
iPhone 13: USD 799(64GB), USD 849 (128GB), USD 949 (256GB)
iPhone 13 Pro: USD 999(128GB), USD 1,099(256GB), USD 1,299(512GB)
iPhone 13 Pro Max: USD 1,099 (128GB), USD 1,199/ (256GB), USD 1,399 (512GB).
Previous rumors have stated that the iPhone 13 will be present in a 1TB variant. However, Trendforce, which issued this price prediction, once denied the rumors about the 1TB iPhone 13.
If the iPhone 13 has been launched, then the price of the previous generation iPhone will be lowered. So maybe the price of the iPhone 12 will be lowered to USD 599 for the cheapest variant, while the price of the iPhone 11 will be lowered to be on par with the iPhone XR, as quoted from Forbes, Monday (16/8/2021).
All of this is just speculation, and may change if Apple is affected by the global chip crisis. If the supply of iPhone 13 components is limited, it is not impossible that Apple will charge the price increase to customers.
Even if Apple doesn't raise the price of the iPhone 13, customers may still have trouble getting it or have to pay more because of the global chip crisis. If the stock of the iPhone 13 is indeed limited, it is not impossible that the stock will be bought up by hoarders and sold at a higher price.
The iPhone 13 itself is rumored to be getting a lot of new photography features. This Apple flagship phone will carry a new generation of Wi-Fi, a larger battery, a 120Hz screen, and a smaller notch.
