The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to see a steep price hike due to expensive component upgrades. The shift to TSMC's 2nm A20 Pro chip, a mechanical variable aperture camera, 12GB RAM, and a vapour chamber cooling system significantly drive up costs.

iPhone 18 Pro could get much more expensive: Here's why

The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to launch on September 9 with five major upgrades. Rumours point to a 2nm A20 Pro chip, a variable aperture camera, a 35 per cent smaller Dynamic Island, an in-house C2 5G modem, and 12GB of RAM for AI workloads.

The iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to cross the Rs 2 lakh mark in India for its highest storage variants. The 2TB model could reach Rs 2,30,000, driven by the costly 2nm A20 Pro chip, 12GB RAM, variable aperture camera, and heavy local taxation.

The A20 Pro shifts to a 2nm node, upgrading from the 3nm A19 Pro. It features a 7-core GPU, 8MB efficiency cache, and a 96-bit memory bus. New WMCM packaging and 12GB RAM deliver 30 per cent better power efficiency.

A20 Pro vs A19 Pro: What will actually change?

Apple is reducing the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro by 35 per cent, shrinking it from 20.7mm to 13.5mm. By moving the Face ID flood illuminator and infrared sensors under the display, Apple reclaims screen space while preserving functionality.
