It seems that Apple is talking to mobile phone carriers about a price increase for the iPhone 6. This according Jefferies analyst Peter Misek (Via StreetInsider). Although it is said that the carriers are initially refusing the increase, that may be fading with the promise of the popularly of the next iPhone.
Peter Misek writes:
“The possibility may at first seem far-fetched in light of investor concerns regarding possible carrier subsidy and handset price cuts due to smartphone saturation and lack of differentiation,” Misek comments. “But we think this general lack of differentiation could be the reason why Apple may be able to get a price increase. Carriers realize that the iPhone 6 will likely be the only headline-worthy high-end phone launched this year and that they will lose subs if they do not offer it.”
