Apple is reportedly planning a new pricing strategy for its upcoming iPhone 18 lineup, introducing a luxury "iPhone Ultra" foldable model priced at $1,999. This move aims to capture revenue from affluent users and offset rising component costs, while keeping the standard iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models at their current price points. Competitors like Samsung and Google are also adjusting pricing and storage options, often increasing entry-level prices, but Apple's strategy focuses on a high-margin premium device to maintain overall revenue.
