Leaked Reports Indicate Higher Prices for Apple's iPhone 15



As Apple enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the release of the iPhone 15, leaked reports are causing a stir among tech aficionados. Prominent Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has shed light on the upcoming device's pricing, suggesting that the iPhone 15 range will come with a higher price tag compared to its predecessors. This revelation has sparked concerns among consumers and experts alike. In this article, we delve into the details of these reports and explore the potential implications for Apple enthusiasts.

According to a research note obtained by Barron's, Dan Ives predicts that the iPhone 15 lineup will command a higher average selling price (ASP) compared to current models. Ives, known for his accurate predictions in the past, has previously warned of price increases for Apple's smartphones. While US customers were spared from such increases with the iPhone 14, it appears that the iPhone 15 will bring a different story.
 
Insiders and industry analysts have been buzzing with rumors of potential price increases, particularly for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models. Although exact figures have not been revealed, speculations suggest that consumers may have to bear an additional cost of up to $200 for the latest pro-grade IPhones. It's important to note that these figures are not officially confirmed by Apple, but they have gained traction due to the credibility of the sources involved.

Apple has historically adjusted prices with the launch of each new iPhone generation, especially for models boasting advanced features and cutting-edge technologies. The iPhone 15 is expected to offer significant improvements over its predecessors, potentially justifying the higher price points. However, it remains to be seen how consumers will react to these price increases and whether they will perceive the added value in the new devices.

While the leaked reports provide valuable insights, it is crucial to remember that they are still unconfirmed and should be treated as rumors or predictions until Apple makes an official announcement. Apple's pricing decisions are influenced by various factors, including production costs, market demand, and competitive positioning. Therefore, it is possible that the final pricing of the iPhone 15 lineup may differ from the rumors circulating in the industry.

Advantages of EDI

1) Shortened Ordering Time : Paper orders have to be printed, enveloped and sent out by the customer's post room, passed through the postal service, received by the supplier's post room and input to the supplier's order pocessing system. To achieve all this, reliably, in under three days would be to do very well. EDI orders are sent straight into the network and the only delay is how often the supplier retrieves messages from the system. Orders can be in the supplier's system within a day, or if there is urgency, the messages can be retrieved more frequently, for example every hour.  2) Cost Cutting : The use of EDI can cut costs. These include the costs of stationery and postage but these will probably be fully matched by the costs of running the EDI service. The principle saving from the use of the EDI is the potential to save staff costs. For example, if the orders are directly input to the system there is no need for an order entry clerk.  3) Elimination of Errors :...
