Apple is set to unveil its latest premium iPhone lineup on Thursday, September 10, 2026, during a highly anticipated event. As the launch date approaches, various leaks regarding the pricing of the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the rumored iPhone Ultra are making headlines.
Expected Price Increases
Reports suggest that the prices for the upcoming iPhone models could rise significantly, with TrendForce estimating an increase of approximately 10-20%. This surge is attributed to the rising costs of components, particularly memory.
Projected Prices for iPhone 18 Models
- The iPhone 18 Pro is anticipated to be priced between USD 1,249 and USD 1,299, translating to around Rp 22-22.8 million.
- The iPhone 18 Pro Max may start at USD 1,349 to USD 1,399, or roughly Rp 23.7-24.6 million.
These figures represent estimated market prices in the United States and do not reflect the official prices in Indonesia, where taxes, distribution costs, and local pricing strategies will influence the final cost.
Pricing Predictions for the iPhone Ultra
The most expensive model is expected to be the first foldable iPhone, with TrendForce predicting a price range between USD 2,099 and USD 2,299, which is approximately Rp 36.9 million to Rp 40.4 million. The highest configurations could approach USD 3,000, translating to around Rp 52.8 million.
Other predictions are more optimistic regarding pricing. Analysts from Reuters suggest that the foldable iPhone could be priced above USD 2,500, roughly equivalent to Rp 44 million when directly converted.
International Price Leaks
Recent leaks from Australia list prices for the foldable variant as follows: AUD 3,699 for the 256 GB version, AUD 4,199 for 512 GB, and AUD 4,699 for the 1 TB model. When converted, these prices amount to approximately Rp 47.1 million, Rp 53.5 million, and Rp 59.8 million, respectively. However, these numbers remain unconfirmed by Apple and should be treated as speculative.
Factors Influencing Price Hikes
A major contributing factor to the projected price increases is the spike in memory costs. TrendForce notes that the price of memory for the 256 GB iPhone Pro in Q3 2026 is expected to be nearly 400% higher than the previous year.
Additionally, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are likely to feature the new A20 Pro chip built on a 2nm process, more efficient LTPO+ displays, larger batteries, and enhanced camera technology. The iPhone Ultra will incur extra costs due to its flexible display, innovative hinge design, and more complex foldable construction.
As of now, all pricing information remains speculative. The official prices for the iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone Ultra will only be confirmed during Apple's official announcement.
