You will soon be looking at $2,000 iPhone models, as Apple prepares for a massive overhaul in an unpredictable market.
During the time when President Donald Trump kept insisting that Apple manufacture the iPhone in the United States, there was a lot of fearmongering going on around the topic. Some people made grand claims that the iPhone would cost $3,000 or even more, while others said that a $2,500 price tag would be inevitable.
While the insistence on an iPhone manufactured in the U.S. has died down a bit, it seems that the price tags that analysts were warning consumers about may just see the light of day anyway. At least, according to Apple insider Mark Gurman, who talked about this possibility in the latest edition of his newsletter Power On.
There is now a $2,000 iPhone model already present on the market: the iPhone 17 Pro Max 2 TB variant. This phone is a bit overkill, intended mostly for really hardcore professional users who record a lot of high-resolution footage, but it has set the precedent for future iPhone models and their pricing.
