Rising memory chip and storage costs driven by AI demand have pushed Apple to hike prices on Macs, iPads, and other devices, with CEO Tim Cook calling further increases “unavoidable.” Analysts at TechInsights and The Wall Street Journal estimate the iPhone 18 Pro bill of materials will rise roughly 25 percent, requiring a starting price near $1,369–$1,399 to protect margins, though some forecasts from JP Morgan suggest a more modest $50–$100 bump via Apple’s own modem savings. Multiple supply-chain leakers point to 10–20 percent increases in China that would translate to similar U.S. adjustments. The September 9 keynote, expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and foldable model, will set final pricing and resolve trader expectations.
