Apple has recently raised the prices of iPads, Macs and other products, with increases ranging from a few thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, leaving many Apple fans unable to bear it. This has also made the outside world worry that new models such as the iPhone 18 Pro series, which are expected to be launched in September, may also see significant increases.
At present, the market generally expects that the iPhone 18 Pro series will be increased conservatively by US$100 (approximately NT$3,000), but in reality it is more likely to be increased by US$200 (approximately NT$6,000) or even US$300 (approximately NT$9,000).
However, we still have to wait for Apple to officially announce how much the new machine will increase in price at its fall conference. Therefore, in addition to price, another thing that everyone is most concerned about is the release date.
According to Apple’s practice over the years, the autumn launch is usually scheduled on Tuesday or Wednesday (U.S. time) in the second week of September. When converted to Taiwan time, it falls on Wednesday or Thursday, with Wednesday being the most common. According to this estimate, this year’s new generation of iPhone is most likely to be released on September 9 (Wednesday), Taiwan time, followed by September 10 (Thursday).

Multiple sources pointed out that in terms of the iPhone product line at this fall’s launch, the iPhone 18 Pro series and the first folding iPhone are expected to be launched; as for the standard version of the iPhone 18, it is reported that it will be postponed to the spring of 2027, when it is expected to be unveiled together with the iPhone 18e and iPhone Air 2.
If calculated based on the announcement on September 9th, Taiwan time, it means that the new phone will be available for pre-order on September 11th and will go on sale on September 18th. Pre-orders and sales will be on Friday, which is also Apple’s tradition. In addition, there is also news that the iPhone 18 Pro series will be launched first, and the folding iPhone may not be released until a few weeks later.
