ForiPhoneusers thinking of upgrading to one of the Pro phones in theiPhone 14range later this year, some bad news has just arrived.
Taken on its own that is bad, but easily questionable news, as the word of one tipster on their own should always be taken with a pinch of salt.
However, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard about a iPhone 14 Pro price increase. Indeed, T3first reportedon a rumored $100 increase back in May this year, and more whispers of a price hike have also materialised since.
Combined these rumors are adding serious momentum behind the idea that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Maxwillhave a $100 price increase this year.
Any sort of price hike is never welcome, but this development (if it is proved to be true) will be even more unwelcome during a year in which the cost of living has increased dramatically.

But going Pro could be worth it, still
The thing is, though, I’m sure for many iPhone users the price hike will be stomached because of that A16 Bionic chipset.
Apple has beenslayingthe competition for the last couple of years now with its Apple Silicon and it’s led to a position of dominance in efficiency and speed that is almost laughable.
Thebest Android phoneprocessors just get nowhere near Apple’s A-series architecture in terms of performance, and asT3 has written about before, that is amajorfactor for many iPhone users when making a purchase.
Would you pay an extra $100 to have a phone equipped with the world’s best processor? I know I probably would, but I’m a tech enthusiast. The average iPhone owner probably is less fussed, though, and I can see how to them a more expensive iPhone 14 Pro would look less appealing.
After all, you don’t need the world’s fastest processor to open TikTok.
On paper, though, Iguaranteethat iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will outperformanyof next year’s flagshipAndroidphones, so it really does come down to how much you value that class-leading performance.
Here’s hoping, though, that wedon’tsee a price hike. T3 will naturally report in again on this when we know more.
