The latest reports indicate that the price of the iPhone 18 series may increase by about $100 compared to the previous generation, due to the sharp rise in the prices of memory chips.

After Apple raised the prices of some Mac and iPad devices last June as a result of increased memory costs, it seems that the company is preparing to apply the same increase to iPhone 18 phones. Previous reports had indicated the possibility of an increase in the price of all models by about $100.

The continuous increase in RAM and NAND chip prices is putting pressure on Apple to raise the prices of its phones, after the company initially tried to bear the additional costs and maintain its profit margins. However, the continued rise in prices made this option more difficult, forcing it to pass on part of the cost to consumers.

However, Apple will not leave the competitive field, especially since Samsung, Google, and others have already raised the prices of their phones. For example, the price of iPhone 18 Pro may start at $1,199, remaining within the same price range as competing phones.

The report sees a $100 increase as a limited adjustment compared to the magnitude of the rise in component costs, especially with Apple's continued strong user base.
