The cost of smartphones in the new iPhone line will remain at the level of last year's Apple flagships. The agency TrendForce reports.
Analysts at the research company believe that Apple is going to keep the cost of smartphones planned for the fall at the level of devices of the iPhone 12 series. The corporation intends to maintain its share of the premium device market. The shortage and rise in the cost of some components for the production of flagships will not affect the pricing. It is reported that Apple is offsetting the cost of manufacturing devices with income from sales of related services and accessories.
Experts noted that Apple has not yet decided on the name of the new series of smartphones. According to information declassified by insiders, the new line of flagships is tentatively named iPhone 12 s. According to TrendForce, the most affordable device in the series will cost $ 699, the top-end flagship in the base modification will cost $ 1099.
The report also lists the main characteristics of smartphones. The phones of the new series will receive an OLED display, with the most expensive models supporting a 120 hertz refresh rate, an Apple A15 processor, and a reduced screen cutout. Analysts are confident that a version with a one terabyte drive will not appear in the line of smartphones, despite reports from other insiders.
Earlier, sources of the publication GSM Arena said that Apple is preparing to release smartphones with record-high battery capacity. The battery capacity of the Phone 13, 13 mini, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max will increase by 8, 10 and 18 percent, respectively, compared to current Apple devices.
