A new report suggests the iPhone 18 Pro could arrive with a starting price of about $1,399, a notable jump from the current model. If that figure proves accurate, Apple’s next Pro iPhone would launch at a much higher entry point than its predecessor.
The latest prediction adds to earlier expectations that the iPhone 18 Pro may become more expensive when it launches. According to the report, this is now the second estimate pointing to roughly the same price level, giving more attention to the possibility of a major increase for buyers considering Apple’s premium phone.
The higher projected price is especially significant because Apple has recently signaled that product pricing could face pressure. While the full context is not available from the trimmed report, the timing has fueled discussion about whether Apple may be preparing customers for costlier hardware in its next lineup.
For now, the reported iPhone 18 Pro $1,399 starting price remains unconfirmed. But with launch expectations building, the new estimate is likely to sharpen focus on how Apple positions its next Pro device and whether consumers will see a substantial rise in the cost of upgrading.
