(CNN Spanish) - At its annual event, Apple announced several products, including a new line of iPhones, the product that generates the most sales for the company.
- This was the highlight of the event
These are the prices of the new cell phones:
iPhone 11: $ 699 dollars
iPhone 11 Pro: $ 999
iPhone 11 Pro Max: $ 1,099
Older models will also be cheaper: the iPhone 8 will now start at $ 449, while the iPhone XR will cost $ 599.
Apple TV + is cheaper than competitors
Apple TV + will be the cheapest television broadcast service on the market so far.
Investors and analysts were surprised when Disney announced in April that Disney + would cost only US $ 6.99 per month. But Apple said Tuesday that its service, which will broadcast original content with people like Oprah and Jennifer Anniston, will cost $ US4.99 per month when it launches on November 1.
This is how it accumulates in the field of increasingly competitive TV transmission:
Apple TV +: US $ 4.99 / month
Disney +: US $ 6.99 / month
Amazon Prime Video: US $ 8.99 / month
Starz: US $ 8.99 / month
CBS (no ads): US $ 9.99 / month
Showtime: US $ 10.99 / month
Hulu (No Ads): US $ 11.99 / month
Netflix (Standard Plan): US $ 12.99 / month
HBO Now: US $ 14.99 / month. (The maximum price of HBO has not yet been officially announced. Note: HBO and CNN are divisions of WarnerMedia).
Total: US $ 90.91 / month
Wait, so Apple products are cheap now?
$ 699 for the iPhone 11
$ 199 for an Apple Watch
329 dollars for an iPad
$ 5 a month for Apple TV +
$ 5 a month for Apple Arcade
That is much less than people expected. There are two reasons why Apple prices are surprisingly low.
1) Apple hardware sales fall, the company is looking to expand its base, reaching the lower end of the market by offering some cheaper products. He did the same with the iPod a decade ago, presenting the Mini, Nano and Shuffle versions of the MP3 player.
2) Apple needs subscribers to boost its frontline sales, which have been in a depression for many years. By charging only $ 5 for Apple TV + and Arcade, Apple will attract a larger group of people who will try the new services.
