New iPhone 18 Price Report Is Good and Bad News for Apple Buyers

Apple is reportedly planning to keep iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max prices flat or only slightly higher.

The iPhone 18 lineup may be split, with Pro models launching in September 2026 and base models arriving in spring 2027.

That delay could leave budget buyers with fewer options and potentially higher entry-level iPhone prices.

The strategy would come as Apple faces continued competition from Samsung’s Galaxy S26 lineup.
