There have been numerous price predictions and analyses but people expected the most expensive iPhone model so far and that there will be a US$100 premium on new iPhone products.
The iPhone 6 starts at US$199.99 with contract but the rumored release of a 128 GB variant started rumors the device's price will increase.
Based on existing plans, the largest handset can cost up to US$399.99 with contract and it could be the same for Apple.
Both the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus and 4.7-inch iPhone 6 will come with Retina HD displays and 1920 x 1080 and 1334 x 750 screen resolutions, respectively.
The smartphones are thin with the 6 Plus being 7.1 mm thin and the iPhone 6 being 6.8 mm thin. By comparison, the iPhone 5S was 7.6mm thin.
The iPhone 6 has a new Apple 64-bit A8 chip which increases CPU performance by 20 to 25 percent and 50 percent faster graphics.
It has the new iSight 8 MP camera with a true-tone flash and new sensor. It will be out on Sept. 19 in the United States with pre-orders starting Sept. 12.
It's expected to be out in 115 countries before 2014 ends. The iPhone 6 is priced at US$199 with a two year contract while the iPhone 6 will cost US$299 on contract as well.
