Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series, expected in September, may see a price increase due to higher production costs. Reports suggest TSMC's new 2nm process for the A20 Pro chipset will significantly raise manufacturing expenses for the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and a rumored foldable iPhone. The base iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e will likely use the A20 chipset, while the iPhone Air might receive the same processor in early 2027. This cost escalation could impact the final retail prices.
