Based on a report from TrendForce, the forthcoming iPhone 18 Pro is projected to retain its entry-level storage capacity at 256GB, mirroring the base configuration of the iPhone 17 Pro, without any further upgrades. Given the escalating costs of components, a hike in the retail price of the iPhone 18 Pro is unavoidable. It is expected that the starting price in the U.S. market will surpass that of the iPhone 17 Pro by an estimated $200 to $300.
