iPhone 13 falling in price: you should wait that long
Every year, millions of potential customers ask themselves one question: When is the best time to buy the new iPhone? A clue for the expected drop in the price of the iPhone 13 is now provided by current figures from established price experts.
So much seems certain: Apple will present the iPhone 13 to us at the event on September 14th - there will be four models again, the iPhone 13 mini, the "normal" iPhone 13, an iPhone 13 Pro and at the top the iPhone 13 Pro Max. On the other hand, Apple's final pricing and when a price drop for the devices will start is still uncertain. Not unimportant for your own purchase decision if you want to save money. So how long should one wait then?
iPhone 13: Forecast for the fall in the price of the Apple mobile phone
The experts at the price comparison portal Idealo are currently providing the first clues to this important question. They looked at the price trend of the current and past iPhone generations and now dare to make an initial forecast for the future price decline of the iPhone 13 (source: Idealo).
The starting point is initially estimated prices for the new models, based on industry information. Specifically, the makers of Idealo are therefore assuming the following starting prices:
iPhone 13: from 899 euros iPhone 13 Mini: from 799 euros i Phone 13 Pro: from 1,149 euros iPhone 13 Pro Max: from 1,249 eurosAnd how will they develop over time? With the standard model and the iPhone 13 Pro, the best time to buy should be between the fourth and fifth month after release - about 10 percent price savings are then possible. Those who can be patient even longer save even more. For example, with the iPhone 13 Pro after six months, 14 percent (around 160 euros) - this could also break the price barrier of 1,000 euros downwards.

Biggest price savings with these models
A similar percentage can then be saved with the iPhone 13 Pro Max, whose forecast price curve is almost identical to that of the iPhone 13 Pro. In total, of course, you get more out of it - almost 190 euros after six months. The prognosis for the iPhone 13 mini is a little more difficult, because up to now there was only one predecessor, the iPhone 12 mini, whose price development could be taken into account. If a similar trend occurs, a sharp drop in prices is likely to occur after just three months - a decrease of 15 percent is possible and thus a price of less than 700 euros.
Of course, there is no guarantee for this forecast. Nevertheless, the same applies to the iPhone 13: If you can wait, you will save a lot of money. The best time? Probably in the first month or two of the new year - that's experience.
