With the launch of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, Apple has discontinued some older iPhones that were available as low-cost options. Apple is no longer selling the iPhone 11, and the iPhone 12 mini has also been discontinued. The iPhone 13 mini remains in the lineup for those who want a smaller iPhone.
Apple's new iPhone lineup is as follows, with starting storage capacities:
iPhone SE - $429 (64GB) iPhone 12 - $599 (64GB) iPhone 13 mini - $599 (128GB) iPhone 13 - $699 (128GB) iPhone 14 - $799 (128GB) iPhone 14 Plus - $899 (128GB) iPhone 14 Pro - $999 iPhone 14 Pro Max - $1099
The iPhone SE continues to be the cheapest iPhone that's available at $429, and the iPhone 12 is now $100 cheaper at $599. The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini have also dropped in price by $100.
Apple has discontinued the iPhone 12 mini, but it is available from Apple's refurbished store for just $439 for the time being. Refurbished stock is gone right now, but the discounted 12 minis should come back in stock in the future.

Apple is developing an all-new operating system that is essentially a mix of tvOS, watchOS, and iOS, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In a report this week, he said the operating system will feature a grid of icons, widgets, and apps, along with customizable clock faces.
The new software platform is intended for Apple's long-rumored smart home hub. With built-in facial recognition,...

Apple this year acquired Israeli startup Q.ai for close to $2 billion, according to the Financial Times. That would make this Apple's second-biggest acquisition ever, after it paid $3 billion for the popular headphone maker Beats in 2014.
This is also the largest known Apple acquisition since the company purchased Intel's smartphone modem business and patents for $1 billion in 2019.

We're less than two months out from the launch of Apple's premium next-generation smartphone lineup, and while we're not expecting a dramatic change in terms of functionality, there are still several enhancements rumored to be coming to the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
One thing worth noting is that Apple is reportedly planning a major change to its iPhone release cycle this year,...
I’m sorry but IMO they are now overpriced in the U.K. no excuse for it either. They could easily swallow any inflation costs, I think they’ll lose sales now especially cost of living crisis. The US is also suffering from high inflation, it’s a bit of an insult that product prices are going up everywhere expect the US.
£949 for the base iPhone 14 Plus, £849 for the base iPhone 14! That’s just too much. and that’s not mentioning the Pro iPhones.
In Europe the prices are ridiculous. I don’t know what they expect from the next months, but with winter and enormous problems with energy and inflation (we don’t have gas, americans, our factories and industries will stop), I seriously doubt they’ll set a sales record. With 500€/month electricity bill, people won’t rush buying an iPhone at 1339€
And now add the European prices where our worthless currency literally caused last year's iPhone 13 to be more expensive today than yesterday. Instead of a $100 price decrease, we got an increase. Could literally buy an iPhone 13 cheaper yesterday than today. Don't even get me started on the 14's prices 😂
1449€ here in Germany/Austria for the BASE 128gb pro max!! Absolutely unbeliveable, and if you know the German market, everyone likes their Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis (Price-performance ratio). I think Apple will fail miserably this year in the European market, as even wealthier people will start looking elsewhere. And people that buy on a 24 months contract basis will also asks themselves whether this is really justified, especially as other manufacturers actually have viable, yet much cheaper alternatives.
Europeans usually don't take out debt as much as Americans, and are more price-conscious. To ask for THIS MUCH for a small upgrade is starting to feel ludicrous, and I personally don't know many people who will look at a price of 1449€ for a base phone and say "ok, great, I'll buy it".
I predict a big win for Android and Google in Europe in the upcoming year/years.
Apple's first foldable iPhone, with a book-style design featuring a ~5.5-inch outer display and a ~7.8-inch inner display with a minimal crease down the middle.
