iPhone 18, that's going to cost a fortune

High demand from AI companies, therefore stock shortages, therefore price increases: memory chips are becoming a rare and expensive commodity, with an impact that will be felt on the price of our electronic devices. The iPhone 18 models with high memory capacity are expected to be more expensive… Several financial institutions such as Citigroup, Bank of America, and JP Morgan Research agree that most iPhone 18 models will be more expensive than their iPhone 17 counterparts, corroborating previous estimates on the same subject. Even though Apple controls its supply chain with an iron fist, this sudden increase could force the tech giant to back down. It seems that models with the smallest storage capacity will not be affected, but the more memory an iPhone has, the more expensive it will be (even) than usual. Xiaomi and Samsung, for their part, have already mentioned the possibility of a price increase for their devices this year.
