Research firm TrendForce predicts that the storage space of iPhone 14Pro models will start from 256GB , while Haitong International analyst Jeff Pu today predicted that the upcoming Pro models will continue to start with 128GB of storage space.
Jeff Pu initially agreed that iPhone 14 Pro models would start at 256GB, but in his latest research report, he added a 128GB level to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max spec sheets. Jeff Pu now believes that the Pro models will maintain the same storage capacities as the iPhone 13 Pro models, including 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.
According to a recent supply chain survey, Jeff Pu maintained the manufacturing plan for iPhone 14 in the second half of 2022 at 91 million units, and iPhone 13 at 84 million units in the second half of 21, as there are no major problems in the supply chain. The next thing to pay attention to is the pricing of iPhone 14 and the waiting time for its launch. Looking at the specs, Jeff Pu has added 128GB of storage to the Pro lineup.
Earlier this week, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that iPhone 14 Pro models will have a "price increase," suggesting they will be more expensive than the iPhone 13 Pro models. Ming-Chi Kuo did not disclose exact pricing, but he said that the average selling price of the entire iPhone 14 lineup, including low-end models, will increase by about 15% overall.
In the United States, iPhone 13 Pro starts at $999, and iPhone 13 Pro Max starts at $1,099. If the price of the Pro model increases by 10%, the iPhone 14 Pro version will start at $1,099, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max will start at $1,199. However, the exact price increase for the Pro model remains to be seen. The rumored price increase could be triggered by inflation, new features on the iPhone 14 Pro models, supply chain disruptions, and other factors.
