The iPhone 15 rumor mill has been pointing to a price hike for Apple's upcoming smartphone range for months, but now a leading industry voice has all but confirmed those fears.
Prominent analyst Dan Ives of investment firm Wedbush Securities told CNBC this week that the average selling price for Apple's next-generation iPhones will increase, which translates to a higher price tag for the iPhone 15 line compared to current models. The iPhone 14 saw a price increase in international markets, a fact that was also leaked ahead of time by Ives, but stateside prices remained the same.
