and less than two months the iPhone 15 Pro Max will finally be in our hands as
well as the gaping thirteen hundred dollar hole in our wallets yes I say
1300 which sounds insane but we just got a report from Barclays that the new
flagship iPhone could easily cost between 1200 to 1300 now I couldn't
believe it at first but after some research I found 10 reasons why apple is
going to be raising the price so let's jump right into reason number one which
is a big upgrade to storage we recently got some reports that apple is finally
going to be upgrading the Pro Models on the 15 lineup to 256 gigs of Base
storage now right now both the pros and the regular models come with a 128 and
upgrading to 256 by itself costs 100 so it would make sense for that price
increase if apple is truly giving us 256 on the 15 Pro now why would Apple do
this well first of all right now you have an equal level of storage on the
regular and Pro Models 128 so it's a little bit weird because previously the
regular models were at 64 gigs so there was some sort of incentive to jump up to
the Pro Models because you got double the storage for the extra price so it
was another thing that kind of incentivized their Pro Models and we all
know Apple wants you to buy the pros and now getting into reason number two we
finally have another new finish on the Pro Models which the last time that
happened was with the iPhone 10 when Apple introduced stainless steel well
now on the 15 pro and pro Max apple is finally giving us titanium yes titanium
which is going to be just like the Apple watch Ultra and honestly I love the
titanium finish because it is just so strong and actually lighter than
stainless steel as well now unknowns 21 who was the guy the leaker who leaked
and confirmed that titanium is coming he also gave us the exact titanium metal
that apple is going to be using it's grade 5 titanium which is apparently
ti-6ai V4 I have no idea what that means but that's cool he has the actual
material so I'm excited for that because it's gonna kind of change the feel and
it's probably no longer going to be as much of a fingerprint magnet and now for
reason number three we're going to be getting a brand new action button
exclusive to the Pro Models now you've probably heard about these leaks before
well basically there's going to be a new button just like your kind of volume
buttons right here it's going to be replacing the mute switch apparently
there's supposed to be pressure sensitivity customizable functions and
everything else but before I explain the new leak that just came within an iOS 17
beta version leaking the actual features of the action button I've got to give a
shout out to our partner case Q for their magic stand case which is the best
value case you can get since it's very rugged high quality and stylish while
also featuring magnets for all of your macsafe accessories but making it even
better the max if ring is actually on a hinge that works as a finger grip and a
stand at a variety of different angles for things like watching videos or even
taking photos so go ahead and check out the discount info and links down in the
description below now getting back to the action button and the new features
that were discovered within iOS 17 beta 4. here is what you're going to be able
to customize and do with that action button you're going to be able to do
accessibility features just with the push of the action button you're going
to be able to use your different shortcuts that you can customize to
basically to anything you want you're gonna of course be able to turn on
silent mode you're going to be able to open up your camera and even take videos
or photos with a simple press of that button you can turn on the flashlight
which is much easier than having to kind of go through the lock screen and turn
it on you're going to be able to switch through Focus modes turn on the
magnifier feature turn on translate and start translating conversations
instantly and even turn on voice memos and record just with the push of a
button without having to open it at all that is already so exciting so it makes
sense why adding this functionality might raise the price now getting into
reason number four apple is planning to give the iPhone 15 Pro Models the
thinnest bezels on any smartphone ever yes breaking records with 1.55
millimeter bezels now that is not going to be an easy feat because apple is
known for not having the thinnest bezel so apple right now we just got a report
that they're struggling with the brand new manufacturing process because those
thinner bezels are going to be harder to produce and manufacture at scale and of
course those issues are going to cost Apple money and just a new process
itself is going to be more expensive and part of that could actually be the new
2.5 D glass process where they're going to be shaving the glass down towards the
edges of the screen in order to create a perfect smooth transition between the
new redesigned rounded Edge design and the glass which is similar to what Apple
has been doing on the Apple watch design not the ultra because it's flat but the
other Apple watches with that seamless transition for reason number five for
why it's going to be more expensive we have of course the new Periscope camera
which is going to be exclusive to the 15 Pro Max now this has a brand new
foldable lens Periscope design which is much more complicated than a regular
lens but on top of that it's also going to have a variable Zoom like what Sony
did for the Xperia 1 mark IV not only is it a static Periscope telephoto lens
with like a 5x camera that comes on the pixel 7 Pro but the one that's going to
come into the 15 Pro Max is going to be able to optically zoom from around 3x to
6X within the lens itself with the actual physical lenses moving around and
zooming now this is going to be the Best of Both Worlds giving you perfect
Optical quality right at the 3x Zoom range and also perfect quality up to the
maximum around 6X without having to crop digitally which ruins the quality and on
top of that Apple also has deep Fusion which basically Stacks pixels together
to make the quality even sharper it's likely going to be the best telephoto
lens out there and that's another reason why it's going to be thirteen hundred
dollars moving on to reason number six we have the new a17 bionic chip which is
going to be exclusive to the Pro Models and it's going to be expensive because
it's going to be the first three nanometer chip ever and also from tsmc
which is going to be very expensive because right now A tsmc is going to be
charging 20 000 for each three nanometer and three wafer compared to 16k for the
five nanometer Wafers that's a 25 price boost so it makes sense why apple
is gonna be increasing the cost on the 15 Pro Models on top of that we were
also supposed to get a fully redesigned brand new GPU for the a16 chip that we
already have but that ended up getting delayed so the a17 should include this
new GPU on top of all of the EXP offensive three nanometer advancements
so it kind of makes sense now on to reason number seven this is a pretty
simple one but it is important because the iPhone 15 Pro Models are going to be
upgraded to eight gigs of RAM finally because right now both the regular
models and the pros have six gigs but we're gonna go up to eight which is
gonna help with opening up all your apps keeping everything Snappy multitasking
that is going to be nice and it also does factor into the price even though
it doesn't actually cost Apple that much in terms of the actual material prices
but Apple does factor in the nice feature and convenience of having eight
gigs for number eight of course we have the switch from lightning to USBC now
that might actually not cost Apple that much money like in terms of materials
but they might actually be planning on increasing the price of the iPhone just
to account for the loss on mfi made for apple lightning royalty Revenue that
they are going to be now losing out of now that they're getting rid of
lightning so maybe that's another reason why they're increasing the prices and
then also to add to that there's also a chance that Apple could be giving the 15
Pro Models Thunderbolt ports instead of regular USBC which is going to be insane
because it's so much faster up to 40 gigabits per second transfer speeds
absolutely insane compared to the 480 megabits on these lightning phones and
then that would actually increase the cost more because of the extra Tech they
have to pack in and now moving on to number nine Apple does have to pay for a
newer wireless tech like the Snapdragon x70 5G modem which is going to be a lot
faster and more efficient than the current x65 since it's built on a
smaller node process so I'm sure that's also going to add to the cost and then
that's another reason why apple is working on their own modem so they no
longer have to pay another company for it which of course includes profit
margins added on top for that company on top of the actual cost and apple wants
to build it themselves so that they keep those profit margins within apple and
then finally for reason number 10 for why the price is going up the iPhone 15
Pro after many years is finally going to get an improved lidar scanner now that
hasn't changed since the original one came out I think it was the iPhone 12
Pro that got lighter yes it is going to be upgraded so it's going to work a lot
better and of course that's extra things to add to the price so honestly with all
of the new features that are coming I'm not surprised that apple is raising the
price especially with the main reason which is the bump up to 256 gigs of Base
storage that is very exciting so if you're worried about the price maybe
that will help you feel a little bit better hopefully you enjoyed this video
