If you're planning on buying an iPhone now, it's worth waiting a few more days. Your wallet will thank you.
This coming Tuesday (12), Apple will hold an announcement event and launch the new iPhone series on the market. The ceremony will be held in California starting at 2 pm, Brazilian time. According to rumors, the new iPhone will be launched on the market around September 22.
But if you have a plan to buy an iPhone now, it is better to wait. The reason not to buy an iPhone now is that with the launch of the new iPhone series, Apple may reduce the price on older models. This price change is already known and considered “standard” for those who follow Apple’s news. Last year, with the launch of the iPhone 14, this price reduction was noticeable in the iPhone 13 and 12 lines.
Check out the price drop, according to Terra's website
- iPhone 13 mini (128 GB) – R$ 6,599 to R$ 5,699
- iPhone 13 mini (256 GB) – R$ 7,599 to R$ 6,699
- iPhone 13 mini (512 GB) – from R$ 9,599 to R$ 8,699
- iPhone 13 (128 GB) – from R$ 7,599 to R$ 6,499
- iPhone 13 (256 GB) – from R$ 8,599 to R$ 7,499
- iPhone 13 (512 GB) – from R$ 10,599 to R$ 9,499
- iPhone 12 (64GB) – from R$ 6,499 to R$ 5,699
- iPhone 12 (128 GB) – from R$ 6,999 to R$ 6,199
- iPhone 12 (256 GB) – from R$ 7,999 to R$ 7,199
It is worth it?
But the question some users ask themselves is whether it is worth buying an older model. Well, it varies from person to person. If you want a cheaper phone, buying an older model can be a smart solution.
However, it is worth remembering that the older the iPhone model, the greater the chance that the operating system will not receive the necessary updates to receive new applications over time. This iOS update occurs annually and excludes very old lines of the device. However, depending on which generation the customer buys, the lack of updates may still take a while.
iPhone 15
Now, if you're planning to buy the brand's newest device, it will have some new features. The new generation of smartphones from the brand will feature the USB-C charging standard for the first time, definitively replacing the Lightning port. This change comes after the European Union adopted USB-C as a common standard for all mobile devices launched and sold in the countries of the region. The decision generated similar debates in other regions, including Brazil, and ended up putting pressure on Apple to accelerate the changes globally.
In addition to changing the charging method, the standard version of the device may have a dynamic island. Previously, this was only present in the Pro and Pro Max models. This feature was one of the biggest introductions last year. Since 2012, the brand's smartphones have traditionally been launched in September of the year, but this event is not limited to the model iPhone 15.
In addition to the new lineup, Apple is expected to announce the next-generation Apple Watch and offer new software updates centered around iOS 17. An updated AirPods model is also expected to hit the market. The Cupertino giant is also likely to share new details about the Vision Pro, a mixed reality device that promises to truly revolutionize the way people use technology, whether for work or play.
The event will be broadcast live worldwide on Apple's official internet channels starting at 2:00 p.m. Brasília time. To make sure you don't miss the launch of the model, click on the link below. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiP1l7jlIIA&ab_channel=Apple
