There are only a few short weeks left until Apple's September event, where we expect to see the iPhone 15 series and Apple Watch Series 9 among other exciting new announcements. But if you're thinking about trading in your aging handset for one of the best iPhones, odds are there's just one question on your mind leading up to Apple's big shindig: How much will upgrading my phone cost?
Rumors have been swirling for months now that the iPhone 15 series could be Apple's most expensive iPhone range to date. Sources speaking to DigiTimes this week suggest there could be a $100 to $200 price jump this time around, bumping the start price of the iPhone 15 Pro to as high as $1,099 and the iPhone 15 Pro Max (which Apple may rebrand as the iPhone 15 Ultra) to $1,299. While this tracks with previous rumors of an impending price hike, there's no mention of increases for the vanilla iPhone 15 or the iPhone 15 Plus though. We have our fingers crossed that they'll still start at $799 and $899 respectively as their iPhone 14 counterparts did.
