Apple’s new generation iPhone 18 Pro series has officially debuted, but what strikes Apple fans most this time is probably not the upgrade in specifications, but the apparent jump in price. Depending on the capacity, the price of each model has increased by about 5,000 yuan to 21,000 yuan. The iPhone 18 Pro starts at 44,900 yuan, and the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at 49,900 yuan. The top-spec 2TB version goes up to 93,900 yuan, which also makes many Apple fans say “it’s really too much to bear.”
As a result, many people began to turn their attention back to the previous generation iPhone 17 Pro series, but chain channel Jiesheng Communications also gave a less optimistic answer.
If you want to pick up the iPhone 17 Pro, you need to go through the express channel: it will be out of stock soon.
Jiesheng said that with the release of the new model, the iPhone 17 Pro series has been removed from Apple’s official website, but there are actually not many in stock at the channel end. Now if you want to go back and buy the previous generation, you may not be able to choose the ideal capacity or color. Especially for the 512GB and above versions, the shortage situation has become more obvious.
Judging from the current inventory situation, Jiesheng predicts that the iPhone 17 Pro series may be completely out of stock around Double 12. In other words, if you have locked in this generation, you really can’t wait any longer.
Waiting for iPhone 18 next year? It’s better to buy iPhone 17 first
On the other hand, some Apple fans believe that the iPhone 18 Pro series is too expensive and simply wait for next year’s standard version of the iPhone 18. However, Jiesheng reminded that as the cost of components such as memory continues to rise, and the prices of the iPhone 18 Pro series and many old models have been raised simultaneously this time, the future price of the standard iPhone 18 may not be too sweet.
Therefore, for consumers who are already in need of a replacement in the near future, it is recommended that they do not have to wait for a new phone. Instead, they can find options with a more balanced price and specification from existing models. The standard iPhone 17 is still a relatively pragmatic model to buy.
