Yesterday, Apple unveiled the iPhone 14 series, and during the live stream it presented the same prices as last year’s equivalent phones. There are two asterisks that we need to attach to this statement. First, the iPhone mini is gone, which was the cheapest member of Apple’s front line. The iPhone 14 Plus also does not have a predecessor.
Second and most importantly, this statement holds true for US prices. And also Canadian and Chinese prices. But elsewhere the cost has risen: After looking at Apple’s online stores in different countries, we found differences ranging from a minimal increase to a whopping 25% increase.
IPhone 14 and 14 Pro prices (for the US)
Let’s start with the vanilla iPhone 14, which now stands as the cheapest new iPhone besides the SE (and we’ll also talk about the SE in a moment).

Next, the iPhone 14 Pro, which is now tied to the vanilla phone as the new smaller iPhone (not counting the SE). The gap between vanilla and Pro pricing is worth looking at as the iPhone 14 uses the old Apple A15 chipset, still doesn’t have an HRR or Always On display, still no telephoto lens, doesn’t even have the new 48MP main camera.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max, the best of the best and the only phone worthy of the Max name. And with prices like these it better be starting to make foldable phones look not that expensive. Especially when you consider that the prices in these tables are for the base 128GB models.
Yes, all four iPhone 14 models still start at 128GB. For context, an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max in Germany will cost € 130 more if you want 256GB of storage.
