Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models might see a price increase of up to $200. This prediction comes from analytics firm IDC, who initially forecast smaller hikes. Recent price increases on Macs and iPads, some as high as $300, suggest a larger jump for iPhones. The global memory crisis has driven up component costs, contributing to potential price hikes. The iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to feature 12GB of RAM, similar to some new iPads that also saw significant price increases. This could mean the iPhone 18 Pro starts between $1,249 and $1,299. The iPhone 18 Pro Max might begin at $1,349 to $1,399. IDC believes these price increases will not significantly deter consumers, especially those looking to upgrade for new AI features like Siri. Premium customers and those using payment plans are less likely to be put off by the added cost. A foldable iPhone is also anticipated, with a potential average selling price of $2,500. This premium device could help offset overall cost increases for other models.
