Key Points
- More affordable screens for iPhone 18 Pro
- RAM chip shortage
- Apple's price increases
By the Numbers
Apple has managed to lower the prices of OLED screens for iPhone 18 Pro models. The company will pay around $68 to LG and Samsung for each iPhone 18 Pro Max. This is significantly lower than the $110-120 paid for previous iPhone 17 Pro Max models. The shortage of RAM chips is due to companies building strong AI data centers. The imbalance between demand and supply has increased the prices of RAM chips used in devices like iPhones. If Apple makes deals for more affordable screens and some other components, the expected price increases for iPhone 18 Pro models could be around $200. Apple increased the prices of Macs, iPads, and some other products in June, but iPhones were not affected. The starting prices of iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max could be $1,399 and $1,499, respectively.
