A tipster on X claims Apple plans a $100 price increase for every existing iPhone model — and for the new models due to launch next month — and says the company’s iPhone event may be scheduled for September 8, a Tuesday. According to the same post, the new lineup will include the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and an iPhone Ultra.
The rumor follows Apple’s late‑June move to raise prices across its product range except for iPhones. Observers say lifting iPhone prices now would be a logical next step; a flat $100 bump across the portfolio would be a simple, broad change if the report is accurate.
Separately, recent reports referenced in the same discussion suggest the iPhone 18 Pro’s bill of materials has risen by roughly 40% compared with its predecessor. That increase is attributed to ongoing chip shortages and higher component costs, notably for DRAM and NAND flash memory.
If the tip proves correct, the rise would be smaller than some earlier projections that envisioned several‑hundred‑dollar increases for high‑end Pro models. Still, the information comes from an unconfirmed source on X and should be treated as a rumor until Apple issues an official announcement.
