SINGAPORE: Apple Inc. boosted pricing for its newest iPhone on Wednesday in some Asian nations where the local currencies have depreciated against the US dollar recently. However, prices remained steady in the US.
Customers in Japan, where the yen has fallen 24% since September, will pay 20% more for the entry-level iPhone 14 than they did for the iPhone 13, which cost 99,800 yen ($692.81) when it was released a year ago.
In Japan, the price of the iPhone 13 is presently 107,800 yen. After the yen declined earlier this year, Apple increased the model’s price by almost a fifth to 117,800 yen.
