Many have been vocal about the next-gen models likely costing more than the iPhone 13 – the most expensive Apple smartphone to date.
But now some experts are predicting that the iPhone 14 will even blow those prices out of the water, per NoteBookCheck.
iPhone 14 rumored prices
The standard iPhone 14 is expected to go for $799, which is the same price as the iPhone 13.
Many Apple analyzers believe that Apple is abandoning the “Mini” variant for a new “Max” version, which could cost $899.
As for the Pro versions – which are always more expensive – they may be priced at $1,099.
Last but not least is the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is starting at a whopping $1,199.
And that’s just the starting cost – experts believe that it could cost users up to US$1,699 for an Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max with 1 TB storage.

Meanwhile, a report from MacWorld noted: “The iPhone 14 Pro Max could top $1,999 for the first time if the rumors of a 2TB storage option come to fruition.”
If these predicted prices reflect reality, then the iPhone 14 lineup will be the most expensive users have ever seen.
Apple expert @LeaksApplePro asserts that costly prices may be due to increasing production costs.
“Apple is currently considering [these prices],” the leaker wrote in a tweet in January.
“Production costs are increasing and there has to be more than a $100 difference between the 14 Max and the 14 Pro,” they continued.
Even though Apple has been keeping the iPhone 14 under close wraps, there are many rumors circulating about features we can expect on the device.
Rumored features
Apple is said to be finally removing the “notch” at the top of the iPhone – offering a full-screen front for the first time.
It’s part of a rumored makeover of the iPhone that will make it look drastically different from 2021’s model.
The design reportedly includes a pill-shaped hole on the front of the device for a selfie camera.
Widely respected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of TF Securities has suggested that we’ll see a no-notch iPhone 14.
And long-time Apple leaker and Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman has said the same.
Ming-chi Kuo has also said that the high-end iPhones in the 2022 range will use a 48-megapixel sensor for the main camera.
