There will be no price increase!Foreign media predict that the price of iPhone 16 series will not change
Since the release of the iPhone 15 series, news about the iPhone 16 series has not stopped. After more than half a year of waiting, the iPhone 16 series is finally coming.Earlier news broke that the price of the iPhone 16 series will rise, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max will even exceed 20,000 yuan.However, some foreign media recently predicted that the iPhone 16 series has not undergone major changes, so it is very likely that there will be no price increase.
In recent years, a significant trend in the flagship smartphone market is that prices tend to rise with the release of new products.However, for the upcoming iPhone 16 series, foreign media generally predict that its price will remain stable and will not follow this trend.
This prediction is mainly based on the fact that the iPhone 16 series does not bring significant or disruptive upgrades in hardware and functions.According to rumors, the screen refresh rate of iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus is expected to remain at 60Hz instead of the 120Hz expected by the market. This is seen as a clear sign of the lack of key upgrades.Additionally, while Siri will become smarter and bring a slew of new features with iOS 18, as well as possible integration of Apple Intelligence tools, the improvements aren't significant enough to drive the price up.
More importantly, the current smartphone market is highly competitive, especially among top products from the Android camp such as the Samsung Galaxy S24 series.If Apple chooses to significantly increase the price of the iPhone 16 series, it may face the risk of losing market share.Therefore, from the perspective of market competition, Apple is unlikely to implement a price increase strategy when launching new products.
Although it is just a guess, it is still quite possible that the iPhone 16 series will not increase in price. After all, the sales of Apple mobile phones are currently declining. If the price increases at this time, it is likely to further lose the favor of the market.
