‘iPhone 15 Ultra will be very expensive: this is the expected price’

Apple is reportedly coming next year with a vastly improved iPhone 15 Ultra. But for those eager to get their hands on the 2023 flagship, there’s bad news: the iPhone 15 Pro Ultra could cost hundreds of dollars more than its predecessor.

iPhone 15 Ultra: the expected price

Via the website How to fix launched LeaksApplePro new iPhone 15Provoices around the world. The Apple leaker isn’t known as the most reliable, so take his statements with a grain of salt.

Last month, Leaks told ApplePro that the iPhone 15 Ultra “costs significantly more to produce” than the iPhone 14Pro max. Now the leaker says he knows the price increase: the iPhone 15 Ultra would have a starting price of $1299 in the United States. That’s $200 more than the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and there’s never been a bigger price hike for an iPhone (in the US).

Hundreds of euros more

That’s bad news, because in many countries, including the Netherlands and Belgium, Apple has already shocked this year with steep price increases for the iPhone. The iPhone 14 Pro (€1329) has become €170 more expensive than its predecessor and the price of the iPhone 14 Pro (€1479) Max has increased by €220.

The peppery prices were in part the result of the dollar exchange rate and inflation. In the US, the price of the iPhone has not increased. Americans with iPhone 15 Ultra must also believe it, thinks the leaker. “It will be a more expensive iPhone. Even in the United States,” says LeaksApplePro.

It seems strong to us that Apple is once again raising the price in Europe by hundreds of euros. However, a price increase is not unlikely, if only because the iPhone 15 Ultra would be made of titanium. This is a more expensive material than the stainless steel that iPhone Pros now use.

Additionally, the iPhone 15 Ultra comes with a minimum of 256GB of storage capacity, according to LeaksApplePro. Now you get 128GB as standard with the cheapest model. Other expected improvements from the iPhone 15 Ultra include the usb-c connection (with significantly high transfer speeds) ea periscooplens.
