Apple's new generation of iPhone 18 Pro series has been officially unveiled, but the price has also increased significantly. Many Apple fans who were originally planning to change their phones have begun to hesitate. Since the Pro series is so expensive, should they just hold on for another year and wait for next year's standard version of iPhone 18? However, Chain Channel Jiesheng Communications believes that trying to save money by "waiting for the next generation" may not be possible next year.

The price increase of the iPhone 18 Pro series this year is quite impressive. Depending on the capacity, each model has increased by about 5,000 yuan to 21,000 yuan. The starting price of the iPhone 18 Pro has reached 44,900 yuan, and the iPhone 18 Pro Max has started from 49,900 yuan. The top-end 2TB version has gone up to 93,900 yuan. Many Apple fans said it was too much.

Waiting for iPhone 18 next year? Access: The price may not be sweet

Jiesheng said that the cost of memory and other components has continued to rise recently. In addition, the prices of this year’s iPhone 18 Pro series and many old models have been raised simultaneously. Next year’s standard version of iPhone 18 may not be able to maintain the “sweet price” that everyone has expected in the past. In addition, there is still some time before it is launched, and there are still too many variables that will affect the price in the future.

Therefore, for consumers who are in need of a replacement in the near future, it is recommended that they do not have to wait for the next generation. Judging from the current product line, the standard iPhone 17 is still a relatively pragmatic entry-level mobile phone model.

As for those who want to switch to the previous generation iPhone 17 Pro series, they have to seize the time now. Jiesheng said that the iPhone 17 Pro series has been removed from Apple's official website with the release of the new model, and there is no longer much stock on the channel side. Especially the shortage of versions above 512GB is more obvious, and you may not be able to buy the capacity or color you want. Based on the current inventory situation, it is estimated that the iPhone 17 Pro series may be completely out of stock before and after Double 12.

Overall, if you feel that the price of the iPhone 18 Pro series is too high this year and you happen to need to replace it, instead of betting all your hopes on next year’s standard iPhone 18, you can evaluate the iPhone 17 at this stage, or buy the iPhone 17 Pro series before the inventory is completely exhausted.
