Why Apple can hold the line on iPhone prices and defy soaring inflation

Yeh, they don't need to put the price up because they were already exorbitantly overpriced!

Apple products are overpriced and overrated. Horrible company and I feel very proud that I have never purchased one of their products and never will. Apple, Starbucks, McDonalds, all vile vile companies that treat their employees like dirt and their customers with contempt.

Surely input costs to produce an iphone being mostly in Asia means price should come down, given the strength of the USD vs other currencies.

Redstorm,you better keep phone charged and buy a power pact for the Typhoon

Apple, for example, recently announced its new versions of the iPhone and other gadgets, and turned a lot of heads when it said it wouldn’t charge more despite higher costs to make the devices.

Yes, just like the article later states, the price of these handsets were overpriced at 40% a pop so now they're just ripping people off a little less.

just bought a 4 year old Sony fone, sim-free, like new, works perfectly..... ¥13,000. my friend bought a not top of range new iphone recently for 10 times that..... sheesh!

Simple, they are already grossly over priced!

Who needs a cell phone when you have a trusty old Bell Labs rotary dial phone on a land line?

I couldn't find the apps on a rotary dial phone and I could not get Siri to respond.
