Do iPhone 18 Pro introduction There are only a few days left and if you are thinking about buying it, you are probably most interested in one thing: how much does it cost? Apple will want. And the price is perhaps more interesting this year than the technical innovations themselves. While in previous years we could relatively safely count on the fact that Apple will not change the prices of its Pro models much, there is increasing talk of price increases this year. The question is not so much whether it will iPhone 18 For more expensive, but rather by how much.
The official price of course Apple hasn't revealed it yet and we'll find out when the phone is unveiled. But we have a pretty good starting point. The current iPhone The 17 Pro entered the US market with a price of $1,099 and was sold in the Czech Republic for Apple started selling for 32,990 CZK in variawith 256GB of storage. If Apple If the price of the new generation had simply been maintained, we could count on a very similar amount this year as well. But this scenario is starting to look less and less likely.
iPhone 18 Pro may really get more expensive this year
About the possible price increase iPhone 18 Pro has been talked about for a long time, and in recent weeks individual estimates have begun to range from a relatively tolerable increase of $100 to significantly more painful scenarios. In the first case, iPhone The 18 Pro started at $1,199 in the United States. However, there are also estimates that the price will be $1,299, and the most pessimistic ones go even higher.
Personally, I would be quite cautious with the highest amounts for now. Apple is very aware of how sensitive the price of the iPhone is, and a jump of several hundred dollars in a single generation would be truly extraordinary for its circumstances. On the other hand, this time there are some pretty good reasons why the company could pass on at least some of the higher costs to customers. One of them is the new A20 Pro chip manufactured using the 2nm process. The new manufacturing technology is more expensive and Apple at the same time, it has to face higher prices of some other component, especially memory and storage. iPhone The 18 Pro is also expected to bring further changes to the camera, and it is the combination of several more expensive components that can make it even better.onec move the price of the phone up.

What about the price of the iPhone 18 Pro in the Czech Republic?
Here you need to be careful about one thing that is often overlooked when converting American prices. If iPhone 18 For example, if the price in the USA is $1,199, it does not mean that you just multiply this amount by the current dollar exchange rate and you have the Czech price. American prices Apple The price is stated without local tax, while the Czech amount already includes VAT. In addition, the exchange rate comes into play, which Apple for European prices it uses, and of course its own pricing policy.
It is therefore much better to base our decision on how much the current generation costs. iPhone 17 Pro started at 32,990 CZK. If Apple will actually increase the American price by approximately $100, I would expect a price increase of several thousand crowns here rather than a dramatic jump. A starting price somewhere around 35 to 37 thousand crowns would not be surprising in that case. However, if significantly more pessimistic estimates were to come true and Apple If the price in the US were to be pushed up to, for example, $1,299 or even higher, it could iPhone 18 For in the Czech Republic to get very close to the 40 thousand crowns mark, or possibly exceed it. That would be a fairly significant difference compared to the current generation. For me, at the moment, I would take roughly 35 to 40 thousand crowns as the most realistic working estimate for the basic iPhone 18 Pro. However, don't take this as a leaked price. It's a range derived from the current price of the iPhone 17 Pro and from foreign information about a possible price increase for the new generation. Apple can notonec surprise in both directions.
Fortunately, at least one thing should not change. iPhone The 18 Pro should start at 256GB of storage, just like the current generation. I think this is an important detail, especially when comparing the price with older generations. Apple In the past, it managed to increase the starting price of a model, but at the same time increased the basic storage, so comparing the amounts alone did not reflect the whole situation. For example, if we see iPhone 18 Pro for $1,199, apparently still 256GB variantu. Above that, we can expect other capacities, whose prices will of course be even higher. And in the event of an overall price increase, the highest configurations may reach amounts that will be quite wild even by iPhone standards.
Is it worth buying more for the price? iPhone 17 Pro?
If you're thinking about it right now, I could have endured the last few days. Not because iPhone The 18 Pro must automatically be a better buy, but because after its introduction you will haveoneWe will have all the information on the table. We will know the exact price, equipment and differences compared to the current generation. And if Apple will become significantly more expensive, it may paradoxically become much more interesting iPhone 17 Pro. He is Apple After the arrival of the successor, it will probably stop being officially offered, but external sellers will still have stock and can expect gradual discounts. The difference between the two generations may then be large enough to make last year's model more meaningful.
The definitive answer to the question of how much will iPhone 18 For the state, we will receive it at its official presentation. As soon as Apple will publish the prices, we will of course update the article and add the exact amounts for the Czech Republic and individual varianty storage. Until then, however, I would mainly count on the fact that this year's Pro will most likely be more expensive than its predecessor.
