Last week, I asked: Will iPhone 15 Pro cost more than 14 Pro?
Wow, thatās a lot more lopsided than expected
Here were some of my favorite replies:
Yes - āThe price has not increased over the last couple of years, and yet production costs have increased, it's inevitableā This is something I think a lot of people overlooked last year.
Yes - āApple has to charge for the R&D that goes into these amazing phones, but they should charge the same price around the world, not inflate prices such as in the UK where we are charged the same numbers in Ā£ās and USA pay in $ās despite the Ā£ being worth more.ā I agree, Iām always shocked when I see prices outside of the US
No - āGets rumored every year, don't believe it this year at least in the USā True, we shall see.
This week: How often do you āzoom inā when taking photos/videos? More on this in the next segment..
How much do you zoom on iPhone? |

This week, we got a much better look at the colors for the iPhone 15 lineup, courtesy of dummy units being distributed. Hereās a video showcasing the potential new colors for the 15 and 15 Pro.
As for the Apple event on Tuesday, I will be live streaming and reacting to the event starting at 11am EST over on YouTube. Tune in, itās always a blast!
