Apple Plans iPhone Price Increase Amid Rising Component Costs
Apple is reportedly preparing to increase iPhone prices due to rising memory and component costs, with a price hike considered inevitable though no official timeline has been announced. Bloomberg reports suggest the iPhone 18 Pro could see a $100 increase in the US, potentially reaching $1,199, while in India, prices might rise by up to Rs 10,000. This follows recent price increases on other Apple products like Macs and iPads amid supply pressures.
