iPhone 18 Pro price may stay flat despite Cook's warning

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from 9to5Mac ·

The report cites stable component costs and competitive pressure as key factors. If accurate, the base model would start at $1,099.

Meridian48 take
Cook's 'unavoidable' price hike may have been a hedge; Apple often tests consumer tolerance before finalizing pricing.
