Esteemed tech journalist Gurman has disclosed that iPhone prices are projected to increase by $100 to $200 this year. This anticipated price rise is attributed to several factors, including shortages in memory chips and main processors, escalated costs for the new camera systems in the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models, as well as the substantial design expenses associated with the inaugural foldable iPhone.
The recent price increments observed for iPads and Macs also provide a precedent for the expected iPhone price surge. Notably, the starting price for foldable iPhones is speculated to be at least $2,000.
