Rising memory chip costs driven by AI infrastructure demand represent the main catalyst behind expectations for higher iPhone 18 Pro pricing. Analysts from TrendForce, IDC, and Bloomberg now forecast a $100–$200 increase over the iPhone 17 Pro’s $1,099 starting price, citing DRAM and NAND price surges of nearly 400% year-over-year that have lifted bill-of-materials estimates. Apple has already raised Mac and iPad prices this summer and signaled limited ability to absorb further component inflation, though in-house modems and other optimizations may moderate the final hike. Today’s September 9 launch event will resolve the exact figures, with traders watching for confirmation of a $1,199–$1,299 base or steeper adjustments.
