Apple is reportedly planning to raise iPhone prices starting August 10, according to tipster Fixed Focus Digital on Weibo. The same source claims Apple has cut production capacity for current models from 30% to 15%. The report comes after Apple hiked MacBook and iPad prices by up to Rs 1 lakh in June, citing an 'extraordinary surge' in memory chip demand from AI data centres. IDC now expects a $200 price increase for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, while earlier it had predicted a $100 hike. The iPhone 17 Pro launched at $1,099 (Rs 1,34,900 in India) and the Pro Max at $1,199 (Rs 1,49,900).
