Everything that happened in iPhone 18 Pro Max Price Hike

Apple is launching a device leasing program called 'Apple Upgrade' in the United States on July 28 to encourage more people to buy its products.

Apple CEO Tim Cook warned that price increases are unavoidable due to AI chip shortages driving up memory and storage chip costs.

The iPhone 18 Pro Max could reach a price of $1,500, and Apple's upgrade plan aims to soften that cost for buyers.

Cook did not specify when or which Apple products will see price increases, but high-end iPhones are expected to get more expensive.

Analysts suggest Apple may delay lower-priced models like the base iPhone and iPhone Air until spring 2027, with possible $100 price increases.

iPhone 18 Pro Max could start at CNY 11,000 (roughly Rs. 1,56,700) in China, CNY 1,000 more than predecessor.

Price increase is linked to Apple's A20 Pro chip using TSMC's 2nm process and rising memory prices.

Apple has secured a large share of TSMC's early 2nm production capacity, according to the leak.

iPhone 18 Pro Max price may increase up to Rs 20,000 compared to previous models.

Leaked price range for iPhone 18 Pro Max in India is Rs 1,59,900 to Rs 1,69,900.

The price hike is attributed to significant upgrades in the upcoming device.

Industry reports claim iPhone 18 Pro Max price may be significantly higher than predecessor.

Price increase attributed to cost of manufacturing next-generation processor.
