Apple will hike rates for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Memory upgrades make much of the change.

They won’t land in Apple’s newest phones straight away.
Analysts say consider if waiting for the 18 Pro makes sense.
Early 17 Pro buyers face steeper costs or slower upgrades if they wait.
Parts are limited, Components are in short supply.
That makes Apple adjust its prices higher.
