The iPhone 15 Pro lineup is expected to bring some major changes this year, but they might also come with a higher price tag. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the new Pro models will have several upgrades over the previous generation, seemingly confirming some of the rumours that have been circulating for months.
Some improvements include titanium frames instead of stainless steel, making the phones more durable and lighter; thinner bezels around the screens, thanks to a new display technology that reduces the black border by about 33%; a customizable button instead of a mute switch; and a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port.
However, these enhancements might not come cheap. Gurman says that he expects a price increase outside the US. And he does not rule out the possibility of a higher price in the US. This report is consistent with earlier reports and an analyst note that suggested that the Max model could cost up to USD 200 more than before.
