Why Your Next iPhone Might Cost an Arm and a Leg

I remember that my iPhone 11 the day I dropped . That I pay its cost and its cost was $599 to fix. Now? The same repair on an iPhone 15 Pro would be $849. What the hell, Apple realy?
The Price Creep No One’s Talking About
look at the numbers:
- 2017: iPhone X launched at $999 (gasps everywhere)
- 2023: iPhone 15 Pro Max launched at $1,199
- 2026 leaks suggest the 16 Ultra could hit $1,499
- 2026 iPhone 17 launched at $1600 (why?) Trump’s Tax fee on Chinese Products wages haven’t jumped 50% since 2017.
3 Reasons Apple’s Getting Greedy
- The apple use “Pro” Trick
Remember when “Pro” meant professional cameras? but Now it means “pay $300 more for features apple company removed from the base models.” - The Repair Racket
That $29 battery replacement program? finished. Now they’re making phones harder to fix. My local repair man says me that iPhone 14 screens have special serial numbers that if replaced disable features. - The Subscription Trap
AppleCare+, iCloud, Apple Music… They don’t want you to buy just a mobile phone from company and they will not lost you. They want you to rent yours programs and gadjet.
A Story That Says It All
Last month, my niece asked me why her friend’s Android took better night photos than her $1,099 iPhone. I showed her a comparison – between the $499 Pixel 7a and iphne that Pixel 7a won. Her response? “iphne is brand.”

That’s Apple’s real power. Not tech. Brainwashing.
My Dumbest Apple Purchase
I once bought MacBook stand its cost 999. it was just metal. To hold my laptop. Tim Cook probably laughs me salary meetings.
