The iPhone 14 price has increased in the UK, EU, and other countries, but not in the US. Why has the price gone up in certain regions? Here’s the need-to-know information on the new iPhone price hike.
Why has the iPhone 14 price increased in my country?
The iPhone 14 price has increased in the UK and EU likely due to the stronger US dollar value and the increase in the cost of electrical components.
With a stronger US dollar, the lower value of the UK pound and EU euro may have led to the price increase in those regions. What’s more, the rise in costs for the components used in the iPhone 14 may also have been passed on to customers in the UK and EU.
The price hike may come as a shock to those watching the Apple conference, as the lead phone maker announced that prices would remain the same as last year. However, this only applies to the US market. Elsewhere, like in the UK, EU, Canada, and Japan, the prices of the entire iPhone 14 range have increased.
New iPhones aren’t the only thing that Apple announced during its showcase event, as the Apple Watch 8, Watch SE 2, and Watch Ultra all made their debut. Wondering which to buy? Here’s our handy guide.
