Surely Apple fans will not be thrilled with this news. Apple is talking with partners about the iPhone 6 prices, is expected to be released this summer.
Apple to increase the price that would be $ 100, applies for 2 version iPhone 6 4.7 inch(smartphone) and 5.5 inch (phablet). Of course, the price will be higher phablet smartphone.
Previously, Apple also perform actions similar to iPad. Initially they sell the iPad for $ 400 but then increased to 500 USD but still successful. Perhaps Apple are apply this lesson to the iPhone 6.
Apple's actions is said to be contrary to the laws of the market. Currently the smartphone makers tend to discount their products so that customers can more easily accessible. Main Apple in an internal presentation last year that users want smartphones worldwide are cheaper and have a bigger screen. That poses a challenge that Apple should reduce the price of their products.
Along with the price increase about iPhone 6, Apple is expected to have a new approach to more customers during the launch of the next iPhone 6.
In a time when Apple is struggling to innovate, a price increase may seem like the worst possible idea for the already expensive iPhone, but as Business Insider points out, it may not be that strange if Apple does release a 5.5-inch version of the iPhone. "Phablets" like the 6-inch Galaxy Note 3 already sell for $100 more than their smaller counterparts.
Misek's report claims that with no other hot-ticket phones set to be released this year, carriers might be willing to let Apple get away with a price hike on its next device.
Misek also suggests that even a smaller price increase of $50 on the new iPhone would be worth it for Apple.
But with a healthy crop of solid Android options available for far less, it's debatable whether people would pay for a more expensive device from Apple. Time and paychecks will tell how much people really want to upgrade to the next model.
