According to estimates from JP Morgan, Apple's next-generation Pro iPhones could see a noticeable price increase due to rising component and manufacturing costs. If prices continue to climb, at what point do even long-time iPhone users start considering other options?
Apple faces an increase in manufacturing costs due to increases in DRAM (RAM) costs, NAND FLASH storage, and memory components. Reports suggest that components cost nearly $300. Could the iPhone 18 Pro Max be more expensive when it is launched in September?
Currently, I am using iPhone 13 Pro and facing lagging issues. Thinking of getting a new Apple phone. Should I buy the iPhone 17 Pro now or wait for the iPhone 18 Pro?
The latest leak suggests that the iPhone 18 Pro Max will ship with a 5,425mAh battery. It is expected to launch in September 2026. Also, the buzz is that this battery capacity will be specifically for US e-SIM models only.
Reports suggest Apple could use different battery suppliers depending on the region. If true, users in different countries might end up with slightly different battery performance.
I just read that Apple is testing a variable aperture lens for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. There’s also talk of a new telephoto camera with a larger aperture for better zoom shots. Do you think this is enough for Apple to catch up with Vivo and Oppo in mobile photography?
