Due to high import tariffs, consumption tax fees and other factors, the price of Apple iPhones in China is always higher than that in the US market. Buyers pay more than in other countries for the same equipment. Buyers waiting to buy this year's iPhone may even have to pay more for the upcoming iPhone 14 series models, a new report suggests. Dan Ives, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, believes that the iPhone 14 series may be priced $100 more than the iPhone 13 series.
According to the analyst, production and component costs are increasing for all consumer electronics manufacturers, Apple may decide to charge customers more for the iPhone 14 series to make up for the additional costs. Therefore, Apple iPhone 14 buyers should be prepared for a price increase.
The iPhone 14 may cost $100 more than the iPhone 13. However, due to high import duties, consumption tax fees and other factors, the value of Apple products is calculated as 1 US dollar, which is equivalent to 6.7 yuan. Therefore, a $100 increase is expected to be about 670 yuan for the domestic iPhone 14 model.
The price of iPhone 13 on Apple’s official website starts at 5,999 yuan for the standard version. If reports are to be believed, the iPhone 14 price may start at around 6,699. However, the company may stick to the current price range to sell more iPhones. The iPhone 14 Pro models are likely to be more expensive, considering the phone will have a new chipset and other upgrades.
