Apple iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max to get a $100 price hike, says expert

The new iPhone 15 series is getting a lot of attention and for all the right reasons. I mean, when did iPhones stop getting attention in the first place? The crown jewels of the new lineup are, of course, the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro Max. This year, Apple fired on all cylinders and made some really nice changes to the phone's construction, including Grade 5 titanium, along with class-leading cameras and more.

The new iPhone 15 Pro Max is a big hit! People want it more than the iPhone 14 Pro Max, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. But here's the catch – it's taking a long time to make. Just a few days after Apple released their latest iPhones on September 12, it turns out that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the one everyone is talking about. This is great news for Apple, but there are some challenges they need to handle.

Apple unveiled its iPhone 15 series at its Wonderlust event on September 12, after months of anticipation. While the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro were expected to take all the headlines, it is the standard models that have amazed Apple fans so far. This is perhaps due to Dynamic Island becoming standard across the entire iPhone 15 lineup, a feature that made the iPhone 14 Pro models stand apart. However, this does not mean the iPhone 15 Pro models can be disregarded as minor updates.

Delivery times for the just-unveiled iPhone 15 Pro quickly slipped until November for some configurations, suggesting that demand is strong for the high-end versions of Apple Inc.'s new lineup.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro pre-order trend quickly saw initial delivery times slip well into November, suggesting strong demand. This is so despite the fact that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the most-expensive model in the series. Four iPhone 15 models became available for pre-booking on Friday in several countries. The high-end Pro Max model, for which the price starts at $1,199, saw its first deliveries slip from Sept. 22 to as late as mid-November in the US after pre-orders began at 5 a.m. in California. Pre-Orders for the blue and block iPhone Pro Max models saw delays as late as Oct. 16, while the natural and white models were delayed to Nov. 13. Delays affected all storage capacities of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

In the last few years, Apple has been investing heavily in India. The Cupertino-based tech giant set up a manufacturing plant for its older iPhone models a few years ago, while it also kicked off the production of the latest iPhone 14 model in 2022. Recently, it was revealed that Apple would also make the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models in India, and they would go on sale within 10 days of launch, making it one of the first countries to get its newest flagship iPhone series. Now that the iPhone 15 has been unveiled, its technical specifications reveal that it uses a GPS developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

Now that the iPhone 15 series is out, the obvious thought in many people's minds is whether it is a better proposition than the Samsung Galaxy S23 lineup that was released earlier this year. And considering the next Samsung event is likely to be in January or February 2024, many also wonder what will the S24 lineup bring to compete with the iPhones. The Apple vs. Samsung rivalry goes way back and the fans on the respective sides never hesitate to hail their side as the one with the best smartphone in the world. But that often does not tell us the truth from a neutral and objective perspective. While the iPhone 15 lineup has not even opened for pre-orders, it will be a while before people can test it out against the Samsung counterpart to really know the truth, but that does not mean that experts have not built up an opinion. Let us take a look.

Apple finally unveiled its iPhone 15 series at the Wonderlust event on September 12 after months of anticipation. Most of the leaks and rumours about specs and features turned out to be true and we saw four models launched - iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The standard models got big upgrades with Dynamic Island, a 48MP camera, and A17 Bionic coming to the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. On the other hand, the iPhone 15 Pro models got the new A17 Pro chip, a titanium frame, an action button, and a telephoto lens. Soon after the launch, Apple also discontinued some of its previous models, while prices of other older models were slashed.

The Apple event unveiled the new iPhone 15 lineup which comes with big upgrades for every single model. While the standard models are getting a 48MP camera and the Dynamic Island, the Pro models are getting a titanium frame, an Action button, and the A17 Pro chipset. This makes the iPhone 15 series quite lucrative, no matter which model you prefer. However, for those who prefer the iPhone 15 Pro-models, the attractiveness of smartphones in the consumers' eyes has dampened a bit after the India price announcement. Both of the smartphones have received a big price hike. With that in mind, should you be buying the new iPhone or let this one pass as a price anomaly? Let us take a look.

Apple Inc. enacted its long-awaited iPhone 15 Pro Max price increase with as much subtlety as possible, part of an effort to wring more money from consumers without triggering sticker shock. On Tuesday, the company boosted the price of just one iPhone model — the top-end iPhone 15 Pro Max, which climbs by $100 to $1,199 — while leaving the other three new versions unchanged. And even the now-costlier new phone will come with twice as much storage, letting Apple argue that it wasn't really a price increase at all.

Apple did not reveal the battery specifications of the iPhone 15 Pro Max or any other model during its official unveiling, but what the company does every year is provide an estimated runtime of each model for three categories: video playback, video playback when streaming, and audio playback. For consumers who wish to upgrade from the iPhone 14 Pro Max to the latest top-tier offering, they might be disappointed with the battery life of the newly announced flagship.

A torrent of reports, leaks, and rumors surrounding the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max started last year, with the two flagships finally materializing today. Apple has lifted the veil of its latest premium offerings, and compared to the previous launches, these two tout some of the biggest changes, both internally and externally, so let us get into the details.
