The iPhone $ix. 
Apparently, Apple has been negotiating to charge $100 more for the next iPhone. Apple wants the iPhone 6 to cost $100 more.  Many carriers have said that no, this is a bad idea. However, it does seem as though there is no real competitor to the iPhone at this time.
So, Apple wants to hike prices on its most popular product? Well, as seen in the past, customers seem to be willing to do anything for their iPhones. Many customers stand in extremely long lines and their has been a shortage of supply every time a new product is introduced. The only minor competitor Apple has is Samsung. Even though, they are not that big of a threat.
A $100 price  increase wouldn't stop most iPhone shoppers from selecting a new phone. 
iPhones are already extremely expensive as it is, and I don't think they even need a new model. The only thing that seems to be changing is the size. I would only pay more for a new phone, when the one i already have is in perfectly good condition if it had several new things to offer, the iPhone 6 however doesn't seem like it does.

    wowwww I think apple will just never stop. I know that the iphone 6 will be fabulous but I don't think it will be worth a price raise.
