iPhone 18 Pro launch nears, but price hikes may push buyers to iPhone 17 Pro

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from 9to5Mac ·

Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected in September, alongside a foldable iPhone, while the base iPhone 18 moves to spring 2027. Price increases are likely for the Pro models, making the current iPhone 17 Pro a potentially better value. The shift in release strategy marks a significant change for Apple's lineup.
