Apple Plans iPhone 18 Pro Launch and Possible Price Increase in AugustNext

Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in early September, featuring upgrades like larger batteries, a new A20 Pro chip, and improved cameras. Meanwhile, reports suggest Apple may raise iPhone prices starting August 10 due to rising component costs and reduced production capacity for current models. Analysts predict a possible price increase of up to $200 for the upcoming Pro models, reflecting broader industry challenges with memory and storage demand.
