Every year there has been talk everywhere about the price of the new iPhone and perhaps this time the discussion will become even more intense, the reason could be that the price is higher than before. According to new reports, iPhone 18 Pro Max may be much more expensive than the previous model. However, the reason for this is not arbitrariness on Apple’s part, but an external problem.
Rising price of memory chips
Now the question is, how expensive can iPhone 18 Pro Max be? According to research company Counterpoint, the components of iPhone 18 Pro Max, especially DRAM and NAND memory, may be costlier by about $ 300 (about Rs 28,600) than the previous model. If this increase happens, then the possible price of iPhone 18 Pro Max in India could be much higher.
If we look at the current price of iPhone 17 Pro Max, then the price of 256GB of the upcoming new iPhone 18 Pro Max can be around ₹ 1,78,500, the price of 512GB can be around ₹ 1,98,500, the price of 1TB can be around ₹ 2,18,500 and the price of 2TB can be around ₹ 2,58,500. That means the top variant can go beyond Rs 2.5 lakh.
However, this is only being speculated right now. Apple will decide the actual price, which will include its profits, taxes and other expenses.
Why is the price increasing?
With the increasing use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) across the world, the demand for memory chips has increased rapidly. For this reason, the prices of chips like DRAM and NAND are skyrocketing. Apple uses these chips in iPhone, so the cost is increasing.
For information, let us tell you that this is not the first time that the prices of iPhone have increased. Apple has recently increased the prices of many products in India. iPad Air has now become costlier by about 30 thousand rupees than before. MacBook Air was also earlier around ₹ 1.2 lakh, now it has reached close to ₹ 1.5 lakh. Now it remains to be seen what the price of the new iPhone is going to be at the time of launching.
