Analyst Predicts iPhone 18 Pro Price Could Rise by Up to $300
GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu says the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max could cost $250–$300 more than the iPhone 17 Pro models (which started at $1,099 and $1,199) due to higher 2nm silicon and DRAM/NAND costs amid ongoing global component shortages tied to AI infrastructure. Apple has recently raised prices on other devices, and the iPhone 18 Pro line is expected to debut this September alongside its first foldable model.
