iPhone 18 Pro Max parts cost could rise by up to $300, report says

Parts costs for Apple’s next flagship iPhone 18 Pro Max 1TB model could rise by up to nearly $300 from the current generation, according to an estimate. A Counterpoint Research report compared the iPhone 17 Pro Max 1TB bill of materials with projected iPhone 18 Pro Max 1TB component costs, citing higher NAND and DRAM prices, a 2-nanometer system-on-chip and advanced packaging. It also forecast storage-tier price increases to protect margins.
