The new 9-pin dock connector expected to debut with Apple’s next iPhone will also carry a higher cost that is projected to push its average selling price up 84.3 percent year over year.
“Sure the price has gone up, but the service will remain the same.”
The details were provided on Wednesday by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo with KGI Securities, who found that the average selling price of the new connector will be “considerably higher” than the legacy 30-pin design that Apple has used for the last decade.
Not to worry. Apple’s fans have lots of money.
