The Story in Brief
Apple will pay significantly less for OLED panels on the iPhone 18 Pro Max than it does for the current iPhone 17 Pro Max panels, reports Gadgets360. The company currently pays between $110 (about Rs 10,500) and $120 (roughly Rs 11,500) per screen. Meanwhile, Livemint reports that the iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to launch on 9 September, with an A20 Pro chipset on TSMC's 2nm process, a variable aperture main camera, and a battery exceeding 5,000mAh on the Pro Max. New colours and a possible price hike of up to $200 are also rumoured.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative around iPhone price hikes often ignores that Apple is also negotiating better component deals. The reported $200 increase, attributed to a memory chip crunch, may be offset by savings on displays. But consumers will pay the final bill. The real test will be whether Apple passes on any of this saving or pockets it. Watch the launch price on 9 September to see which side of the story wins.
