Apple Eyes Price Hikes as iPhone 18 and Anniversary Models Loom
Apple says price increases are unavoidable due to higher memory costs, with potential hikes across iPhone and Mac lines. Rumors point to two 20th‑anniversary iPhones launching next year alongside a foldable, while the iPhone 18 could gain 12GB RAM to support on‑device AI, though some reports suggest the standard model may launch in spring 2027 with no price bump. Other notes include Chase Sapphire perks for Apple customers (free Apple TV for a year and Apple One discounts on Sapphire Reserve) and hands‑on coverage of macOS 27 Golden Gate plus expanded landscape support in iOS 27, fueling talk of future Apple devices like an iPhone Ultra.
