New Report Claims 2018’s iPhones Will Be More Expensive

A report from earlier this week revealed the potential pricing of Apple’s 2018 iPhones, where the cheapest 6.1-inch LCD model will be priced starting at $699, and the largest 6.5-inch OLED model will be priced starting at $999, which essentially maintains the same price point as last year’s iPhone X.

However it seems that not everyone agrees with those prices. According to Bank of America’s Merrill Lynch securities unit, they are actually predicting that the new iPhones will be more expensive than before. They claim that the LCD model will actually be priced starting at $799, while the 5.8-inch iPhone Xs will be maintained at $999, while the larger 6.5-inch iPhone Xs Max will go for $1,049.

Since all the pricings we’ve heard so far are based on rumors and predictions of analysts, it’s hard to say who might be right. That being said, Apple has been criticized in the past for pricing their phones too high, and we’re sure that if these pricings are true, it won’t sit well with many customers (although we’re sure that there will be some who will gladly pay for it and complain about it at the same time).

Apple has since confirmed that their new iPhones will be officially announced on the 12th of September which is next Wednesday, so do check back with us then for the official details regarding specs, pricing, and availability.
