The $1,400 iPhone Shocker and Apple's Foldable Delay

Your next Pro iPhone might cost an eye-watering $1,400. Apple is preparing a massive pricing shift for the iPhone 18 Pro. Memory chip prices are skyrocketing due to AI demand, which could push phone prices up by $300. To fight back, Apple squeezed suppliers to slash screen costs nearly in half down to $68. That is not the only shocker. Apple is officially splitting its launch schedule. The flagship iPhone 18 Pro and the ultra-thin foldable iPhone Ultra land this fall, but the standard iPhone 18 is delayed until early next year. That foldable Ultra is just 4.5 millimeters thin with dual selfie cameras tucked into one corner. Apple is completely rewriting its playbook, and your wallet will definitely feel it.
