Rising memory and storage component costs, driven by AI demand and described by Tim Cook as a "hundred-year flood," are the main factor pushing expectations higher for the iPhone 18 Pro. Apple recently raised prices on iPads, Macs, and other hardware by up to $300 following similar pressures, while iPhone 17 Pro started at $1,099. Analyst estimates now range from modest $50–100 increases (citing potential savings via Apple’s own modem) to $200–300 hikes, with some models possibly starting near $1,299–$1,399 to preserve margins amid a more expensive A20 Pro chip and camera system. The September 8–9 launch event will set final pricing, and any last-minute margin adjustments could still shift outcomes.
