iPhone 18 Pro's $100 Price Increase is Actually $300 If You Want 1TB Storage

Apple raised the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max by $100 compared to the iPhone 17 Pro models, but if you want more storage, those price increases are even higher.

The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ starts at $1,199 for 256GB of storage, while the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ started at $1,099. There's a $200 increase if you go up to 512GB ($1,399), but if you want 1TB of storage, you're going to be paying $300 more.

A 1TB ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ is priced at $1,799, but a 1TB ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ was $1,499. There's a new 2TB option for the Pro this year, and it's priced at $2,399.

A 1TB ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max was $1,599, but this year, it'll cost you $1,899 to get a 1TB ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max. The 2TB ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max option is even more expensive at $2,499, a $500 increase over the 2TB ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max price.

Storage and memory costs have been soaring because of ongoing supply shortages, so it's not too surprising to see a notable surcharge on the 1TB storage option.

Sadly, if you trade in a 1TB or 2TB iPhone 18 Pro to Apple, you'll get the same trade in value as a base (256GB) iPhone 18 Pro

I guess I’ll just be keeping my 16 pro max as long as it works then. Battery replacement should extend another 2 years. Maybe this ridiculous AI bubble will pop then.

People can say no… maybe then companies will change.

I'm surprised it isn't more... Significantly more... Given the shortages and ridiculous demand and the prices NAND manufacturers are getting - there will be companies that go out of business because they cane get memory for their devices - I think Apple is managing this pretty well.
