Ahead Of Launch, iPhone 18 Pro Price Leaked

The Apple 'Surprise and Shine' event is on September 9 2026, just 2 days from today, and the latest iPhone 18 Pro price leak has revealed more insight into the upcoming smartphone. A Vodafone Egypt listing showed the iPhone 18 Pro price at EGP 98000 (approx. $1210) for the 256GB variant. In contrast, iPhone 17 Pro price was EGP 88,800 - an approximately 10 per cent hike.

Well, most analysts and leaksters have suggested a price hike, but this one actually comes from an official listing that was subsequently removed. In fact, the Egypt leak, as revealed by Yousif Ayman and spotted by GSM Arena, is one of the more concrete numbers to emerge so far. The reason for the iPhone 18 Pro price hike is the global memory-chip shortage that is squeezing profit margins for companies like Apple. Former CEO Tim Cook says an iPhone 18 Pro price hike is 'inevitable'.

The iPhone 18 Pro price hike range, as revealed analysts and leakers, suggests rates will rise by anything from $100-$250–$300, depending on whom you ask. Some analysts, like Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, suggest Apple will limit the hike to around $100 and absorb the other costs stemming from component hikes and not pass them on to consumers. The Egypt listing reveals a number that sits neatly near Gurman's low-end call.

TrendForce says the iPhone 18 Pro's components could run about 40 per cent more expensive (total bill of materials is expected to be 38% higher with memory costs alone accounting for a 400% increase) than last year's model.

In India, earlier estimates had put the iPhone 18 Pro price anywhere from Rs 139900 holding steady to Rs 144900 for the 256GB variant. The rate estimates have been ranging from Rs 5000-Rs-10000-Rs 20000 across the Pro lineup. Do remember that the India market has different local taxes, import duties and more and as such, prices will not be same as in US or Egypt. This iPhone 18 Pro price is, of course, not confirmed.
