FULL STORY ======================================================================

If youre looking to buy an iPhone SE in the UK you might want to act fast, as Apple has just quietly increased the price of its budget smartphone.

When the iPhone SE (2022) launched in the UK you could pick it up for 419,
and using the WayBackMachine an online archive that stores snapshots of webpages we can see that this was the case as recently as August 26 .

But as we spotted while browsing the official Apple store page today youll
see the iPhone SE (2022) is now selling for 449 a whole 30 more.

Thankfully this change doesnt seem to have impacted the iPhone SE in the US
or Australia yet its still selling for its original $419 / AU$719 price in those regions but if youve been on the fence about picking up the cheaper iPhone you might want to act sooner rather than later.

As for those of you in the UK you still have some time to pick up the iPhone SE at its original price. At the time of writing, third-party vendors like John Lewis and Currys are selling the phone for 419, but theres no telling when this will change.

Considering the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro were just announced many of us would have expected Apples older iPhone prices to drop rather than go up. For the iPhone 13 that's the case; the iPhone 14 will launch at the same price as the older model, and the iPhone 13 will come down a bit to $699 / 749 / AU$1,229.

That said, while the iPhone 14 is the same price as the iPhone 13 was in the US at launch, it is more expensive in the UK selling for 849 instead of 779.
