The manufacturing process of these chips is significantly more expensive than the current 3nm process and Apple will logically want to cover this increase somehow. And it should do this by increasing the selling price, which was recently predicted by analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Jeff Pu. The price increase will not be based only on a more expensive chip, but mainly on the fact that it has kept the price of iPhones at the same level for a long time, but due to changes in the economy, it is no longer possible to keep the price at the original value.

Unfortunately, we can only guess at the moment how much iPhones might become more expensive next year, or whether they will be delayed this year.

So that the price increase is notonec for Apple counterproductive. Their new models are undergoing minievolution. The introduction of new technologies is slow and when they do, they outstrip the price (their vision).
Given that a significant portion of the new features announced annually do not work in our country, year-on-year changes are often only marginal in my opinion. A reasonable amount of innovation currently accumulates for a domestic user in about three (maybe four) years. From this perspective, I would not accept any major price increase. I would rather wait until there are so many innovations that it makes sense.
