Big news, tear out the front page.

Poor Apple needs the money.

 

[coffeemilktea]

Considering how expensive just buying groceries are these days, I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner 😅

 

[JPack]

Remember how iPhone 14 Pro Max was sold out during the 2022 winter holidays? And few people bought the 14 Plus?

Apple would be silly to not increase the price this time.

Most probably finance the phone either thru Apple or a carrier. I have the money to buy things out right but when given the choice of payments and 0% finance, that is an easy choice for me. Apple also gives you 24 months to pay. A higher cost of the phone even at $100-200 ($200 = $8.33 x24) is still small when divided into 24 months.

Buy the phone outright or have payments each month for two years and you choose payments? To each their own but I buy my phones outright because I can with ease. Even at 0% interest I would never "finance" a cell phone. It makes no sense. I will not be beholden to any of these swine.

I'm almost afraid to see the cost of a Apple iPhone Fold. It will easily be over $2K. Lol.

No prediction necessary. When the battery capacity increases the price increases 😂.

That rumor is fake. No battery increase. Also the base model is now 256GB so it's kinda obvious. Before you was buying from 128GB.

Like I said for the big amount of "happy people" about 256GB base:

While for me 256GB is the minimum, I see nothing positive about that. I mean, if they got rid of 128GB, than add 2TB. But they did nothing. So it's step backwards. At the end less people will get it, because of the higher base price. For sure many don't want more than 128GB.

Happy to pay if it's made outside China.

It makes no sense to keep as much liquid assets as you can and borrow someone else money with no interest? What if you only keep the phone for 1 year, meaning that person only paid for half of the phone while you paid the full price and never recoup the max value for your phone. What doesn’t make sense?

Haha you are concerned about adding $1000-1500 to your liquid assets. I see. That was all I needed to know. I never own my phones for more than a year. I trade them in and move along. The only way you are going to recoup max value on your phone is by selling it to someone on the street for max value. Have fun with that! I'll gladly eat a few hundred on trade in just so I don't have to spend time dealing with reselling my phones. I end up saving in the long run because time is money. Anyway, enjoy your financed phones and signing into an agreement to make installment payments...on a phone. 😁

 

[Ch3ckM4te]

Not news and not a problem. If I can’t afford it, I’m not gonna buy it. But as of right now, I’ll continue to update yearly.

 

[Kiwamu]

Well, adding now an USB-C port all of a "sudden" probably needed a lot of R&D capacity. /s

 

[Love-hate 🍏 relationship]

How unexpected of you,
Milk me like a cow please daddy
Give me the best iphone ever
Don't you stop rising price
Make me spend like I'm on fever
Spill those bucks like rice
Grant us no grace
A cold hear like Ice,
Good ol' Timmy father
incremental changes at a slow pace
Money melting like butter

Can I run MacOS on it?

Any particular reason why you need to be degrading to someone based on their financial situations? Maybe because someone can’t afford to pay for a phone outright and a no interest financing option could help them get a phone they want doesn’t make sense? Do you think looking down on someone from your ivory tower makes you a better person? Sheesh, some people.

Thanks for explaining the poorly named "periscope lens"... I thought is that some kind of built in selfie stick extension or what?🤣

 

[thadoggfather]

It’s got to be, Apple owes us that much.

Was beginning to suspect their products aren’t premium if they dont hike the price :O

 

[Andronicus]

I’m starting to think I could be a “source” for rumors. Lol

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

Top notch revelation, everyone.

They claimed the minus with 256GB was happening last year and didn't. Since I always get 25GB, if the rumor is correct this time, it should cost me the same or less per month. IUP.

If someone has to finance their cell phone, then it is easy to understand why they are in a poor financial situation. I take no pity on these people. Ever heard of saving, or working harder to make more money? And I'm not looking down on anyone. People can live their lives however they choose. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to call people out on making poor decisions. That's just what I do. I also reward people for making good decisions.

Won't be long before we see a $2,000 iPhone.

Why wait?

Lol ok dude. If you only knew.

So can I but why would I do that when I have the option of splitting the payments for 24 months and it's not costing me an extra dime?

That's exactly how they want you to think about it.
