Apple Plans September Launch for iPhone 18 Pro Amid Possible August Price Increase
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in early September, likely around September 7-9, with significant upgrades including larger batteries and a new A20 Pro chip. Meanwhile, reports suggest Apple may raise prices for current iPhone models starting August 10 due to rising component costs, potentially signaling higher prices for the upcoming iPhone 18 series. Production adjustments and supply chain planning are underway to support the launch and meet demand.
