The same source also seems to imply that Apple&#8217;s launch event for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/iphone_18_pro_colors_reiterated_in_new_leak-news-73041.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone 18 Pro<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/apple_iphone_18_pro_max_5g-14716.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone 18 Pro Max<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/apple_iphone_fold_5g-13804.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone Ultra<\/a> will be held on September 8.

This is the next logical step, and a $100 bump for the entire portfolio may very well be what Apple is planning. That would at least keep things simple.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1786586650_164_gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"New rumor tells us all about Apple's imminent iPhone price hike\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We have recently heard that the iPhone 18 Pro&#8217;s bill of materials has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/iphone_18_pro_components_estimated_to_be_40_more_than_before__-news-74098.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">gone up by about 40%<\/a> compared to its predecessor, and of course all of this is due to the chip shortage and subsequent component cost increases (especially DRAM and NAND).<\/p>\n<p>If today&#8217;s rumor pans out, things will at least not be as bad as other sources have claimed &#8211; some have even envisioned multiple-hundred-dollar price hikes for the Pro iPhones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/heyitsyogesh\/status\/2087104737179234697\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to a new rumor from a tipster on X, Apple will be raising prices for all existing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":736182,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-736181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=736181"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736181\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/736182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=736181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=736181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=736181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
