These specific prices are based on a single rumor, and even that was only "up to" $200 increases. Even if this latest "confirmation" were accurate, it could easily be $50 increases. A month ago Apple released a major update to the Mac Studio but kept the price the same, unveiled the 15" MacBook Air at a reasonable price, and dropped the price of the 13" MacBook Air. That doesn't really sound like a company that's about to announce a ~15% price increase to their most popular product but rather one that's being quite sensitive to price pressure on buyers.
I would argue that because the iPhone is their most popular product, they will do it.
When they released the iPhone X back in 2017 at $999, people were outraged at the price increase for the average iPhone price, and yet we keep buying more expensive phones.

I don't really remember it that way. It was explicitly presented as a bifurcation of the line. The iPhone 8 was the successor to the iPhone 7, with comparable pricing and the same year-over-year upgrades you'd expect. The iPhone X was positioned as a bleeding-edge offering for a price premium. Was there clickbait faux outrage and pearl-clutching at the price? Sure. Were actual customers outraged? No.
I miss the iphone mini
The redditization of Lemmy begins. Fuck Forbes and their clickbait shit.
Paying luxury prices for a commodity product.
iPhone 15 will be the most expensive ever released
Isn’t every new iPhone model more expensive then the last? That statement is true for literally every iPhone. Obviously they are going to charge more with inflation and the need for profits. Shouldn’t be a surprise.
The 14 series hasn’t increased their price from 13 series (at least in US).
I think the prices have been like this:
The iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S, 5, 5S, 6, 6S, and 7 were all $649.
iPhone 8 was $699 and iPhone X was $999.
The iPhone XS Max was $1099.
So the price was steady for quite a while.
