Isn't the iPhone 18 really priced up?
Is the iPhone 18 really priced up? Good news that Thais might get hehe!
Amid a wave of rumors of skyrocketing parts costs, both the LPDDR and the A20 chips from TSMC, which have been plagued by global demand for the chips for AI, have caused many to worry that the iPhone 18 may raise prices by leaps and bounds.
But most recently, Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known analyst who has followed Apple closely, has come forward to reveal the good news that may have relieved Thai consumers who are looking forward to a new iPhone.
According to Kuo, Apple plans to "avoid raising prices as much as possible" by at least keeping the iPhone 18's starting price the same, which will help to market it very well.
Apple's strategy is to "bear higher costs" to maintain and expand market share during this volatile period of market volatility, believing that it can later offset lower revenue from profit margins with services.
For Thais who are constantly facing higher costs of living, iPhone prices do not change with costs, so it is good news to watch because it makes the decision to buy new phones easier and does not increase the cost burden unnecessarily.
However, this information is an analyst forecast, and Apple's plans could change before the official September 2026 launch. We'll have to wait again for the good news to come true as expected.
