As Apple is soon expected to launch its new iPhones, as early as next month, various reports have started to surface stating that the price of the iPhone 12 will be way more higher than iPhone 11.
The reports from a tipster on chinese website Weibo, claims that the price increase is a result of the increase in Bill of material cost for iPhones by $50 (Approx Rs 3700). To save some cost, it has also been reported earlier that starting with iPhone 12, Apple may drop the in-box charger and earphones to save some cost as it has done the same with Apple Watch Series 6 where the charger is now not present in the box. The increased cost is due to the inclusion of the Time-of-flight sensor, the 5G modem, RF, OLED Display and various other components.
Jon Prosser, an Apple insider recently also claimed that the iPhone 12 with 5.4-inch display may start from $649 (Approx Rs 47,000) and the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Max might cost Rs $749 (Approx Rs 55,000).
