These days, all companies are increasing the cost of their phones due to the rising cost of memory chips, but Apple may avoid this. Apple could launch the iPhone 18 at the same price as the current model.

How much can the iPhone 18 cost?

Smartphones are becoming more expensive these days due to rising memory chip prices. Several major companies, such as Xiaomi and Samsung, have already increased the prices of their phones. Meanwhile, news has emerged that Apple will not let the current situation affect the price of the iPhone 18. This means that the iPhone 18 could be launched at approximately the same price as the iPhone 17 (approximately Rs 83,000). At a time when mobile phones from all companies are becoming more expensive, this move could prove to be a profitable deal for Apple. 

This is Apple's planning.

Like other companies, Apple is paying a significant amount for memory chips. A report claims that Apple will absorb the increased costs, and the starting price of the iPhone 18 is unlikely to change. The company is trying to avoid raising the prices of the new iPhones, but even if the upcoming models are made more expensive, their starting prices may remain the same as the current models. This is expected to provide Apple with a significant marketing advantage.

Apart from memory, other components also became expensive.

Smartphone companies are grappling with inflation these days. The AI ​​server boom has impacted the supply chain, making memory and other components more expensive. Consequently, the prices of smartphones, laptops, and smart TVs are rising. 

When will the iPhone 18 be launched?

Apple typically launches its new iPhone models in September, but this time the company has changed the launch schedule. Now, the iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and foldable iPhone will be launched in September. The iPhone 18 will be launched in February-March next year.
