iPhone 18 Pro Price in India May Increase by Rs. 5,000: Leaks Reveal A20 Pro, Camera Upgrades & More

Apple will likely launch the iPhone 18 Pro series later this year. Early leaks suggest Indian buyers may pay more than they did for the iPhone 17 Pro lineup. Recent reports, based on Counterpoint Research’s bill of materials (BoM) analysis, point to higher manufacturing costs. Those rising costs could push Apple to increase the prices of its upcoming Pro models.

The report suggests the iPhone 18 Pro Max could cost much more to manufacture than its predecessor. Higher memory prices drive part of the increase. Apple’s next-generation A20 Pro chipset also adds to the cost. Apple will likely build the chipset on an advanced 2nm process.

Analysts expect Apple to pass some of the higher production costs to buyers. Apple has not confirmed the pricing yet. However, reports suggest the iPhone 18 Pro series could cost around Rs 5,000 more in India. Higher storage variants may see a bigger price increase because NAND and DRAM memory costs continue to rise.

iPhone 18 Pro: Expected features

Apple may introduce several hardware upgrades with the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. The company will likely power the devices with the A20 Pro processor. The new chip could deliver better performance, higher power efficiency, and stronger on-device AI capabilities. Apple may also expand AI features with iOS 27.

Leaks also point to major camera upgrades. The iPhone 18 Pro models may feature a variable-aperture primary camera for better photos in different lighting conditions. Apple could also reduce the size of the Dynamic Island by moving Face ID components under the display.

Apple may also increase the battery capacity. The iPhone 18 Pro Max could pack a battery of around 5,500mAh. The lineup may also feature Apple’s next-generation C2 modem. The new modem could improve connectivity and expand satellite communication capabilities.

Apple yet to confirm details

Apple has not announced the iPhone 18 Pro series or its pricing. Current reports suggest the company could unveil the lineup at a September event. Apple may start sales in India later that month. Until Apple confirms the details, treat the pricing, specifications, and launch timeline as leaks.
