Apple’s new iPhone 18 series will enter this year, what will be the price and what will be the features?
Apple may soon introduce its next premium smartphone series iPhone 18 Pro. The launch is still far away, but discussions related to it have already intensified. According to the latest reports, this time iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max may be costlier than before. The real reason could be Apple’s next processor. It is being told that the new A20 Pro chipset will be available in the iPhone 18 Pro series, which will be made on TSMC’s new 2 nanometer technology.
This technology is considered more advanced than before and will improve the performance and battery efficiency of the phone. But the cost of new technology is also high.
According to the report, the manufacturing cost of chips made with 2nm technology has increased significantly. Whereas earlier a silicon wafer for a 3nm chip used to cost around $20,000, now the price of a 2nm wafer has reached around $30,000. This will have a direct impact on the price of the processor used in iPhone 18 Pro. It is estimated that the cost of A20 or A20 Pro chip could be around $ 280 per unit, which is much higher than the current chips.
In such a situation, Apple will have a difficult decision. The company either incurs higher expenses itself and reduces profits, or passes the burden of this increased cost on to the customers. If the second path is chosen, then it is certain that the prices of iPhone 18 Pro series will increase. Apart from this, problems related to memory supply can also increase the production cost.
How can the specifications be…
Talking about the features, a big change can be seen in terms of design in iPhone 18 Pro. It is reported that this time Apple may remove Dynamic Island and bring punch-hole camera and under-display Face ID. Improvements are also expected in the camera system, where variable aperture can be given in the main camera, which will further improve the quality of photos and videos.
The iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to launch in September 2026. At present, Apple has not given any official information regarding the price. However, the price of the current iPhone 17 Pro already starts at Rs 1.34 lakh, so the new series may be even more expensive.
