【Phoneauto News】Recently, the topic of “iPhone becoming more expensive” has surged on Weibo hot search.

Specifically, the prices of different memory versions of iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have increased by 100 yuan, 300 yuan, and 500 yuan respectively. Among them, the starting price of iPhone 15 Pro Max is 9,999 yuan, and the price of the top 1TB version is as high as 13,999 yuan, known as the “most expensive Apple phone” in history. Compared with the price of the same version of iPhone 14 Pro Max, it is 500 yuan more expensive; compared with the top configuration price of iPhone 13 Pro Max released in September 2021, it is 1,000 yuan higher. Now, the price of the top configuration version has easily exceeded ten thousand yuan.

For reference, six years ago, the highest configuration of iPhone X, the 256GB version, was priced at 9,688 yuan, still hovering around the ten thousand yuan mark. Now, the highest configuration of iPhone 15 Pro Max, the 1TB version, has reached 13,999 yuan, an increase of about 45%.

Since the release of the iPhone 8/iPhone X series in 2017, the price of the standard version of iPhone in China has hardly increased. Comparing the price of the 64GB version of iPhone 8, which was 5,888 yuan, with the 128GB version of iPhone 15 priced at 5,999 yuan, it can be said that the price has remained the same with added capacity.

Overall, in recent years, the price increase of each generation of iPhone with the same configuration has been between 100 yuan and 500 yuan. Although the increase is not large, the cumulative effect is considerable. Especially since the iPhone 12 series canceled the included charger and earphones, it indirectly increased the cost of purchasing Apple accessories.
