We’ve been hearing a lot about Apple’s upcoming iPhone 13, and it appears that almost everything we can expect has been revealed. The smartphone series continues to surface online as the September launch draws closer.
According to an article from DigiTimes, Apple could increase the price of the iPhone 13 models to compensate for increasing component costs.
As DigiTimes does not have a credible track record when it comes to predicting Apple plans, we would advise you to take this information with a grain of salt. This time, the article cites industry sources, so it may prove to be accurate.
The world’s largest chip maker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, also makes Apple chipsets. This also includes the Apple A15 Bionic processor that will power the next-generation devices based on TSMC’s 5nm+ process.
TSMC is set to increase its pricing, so Apple will pass that cost on to customers. Customers have been informed that TSMC is increasing pricing by 20 percent. Apple, which is a major client of the company, could see price increases between 3 and 5 percent.
However, Apple will be launching its new devices with increased prices. Instead of raising them just a couple of months after its official launch in January next year.
TSMC recently received a massive order from Apple to produce more than 100 million units of the A15 Bionic chips. As the company wants to make sure that it won’t have any issues with supply and components for its upcoming iPhone 13 models.
