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 $100 year-over-year 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'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.

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.

Yeah, no way I'm getting the iphone 18 now.
I get it that NAND prices are nuts right now, but you can still buy a 1TB SSD for around $100, no way that justifies a $300 price jump going from the 17 Pro pricing

I need the 1TB as I travel frequently to countries with poor cell service and/or data caps so I like to keep all my music/movies with me. I've gotten every iphone since the 3GS... First time I'm skipping.

So, do I need for casual use the 512 or the 256 version? 200 bucks more for being future proof. Is that worth it? Who needs more than 256 GB?
I've ALWAYS regretted not future-proofing my storage, the few times that I cut corners

Apple won't do it, but I can see the carriers getting desperate to compete with each other, of course it'll come with the obligatory 3 year contract.
They did it with the air though. It all comes to the market sending a strong NO signal.
