To the presentation of the new line iPhone there are only a few days left, and information about the possible cost of future Apple smartphones has already appeared on the Internet. According to the source, The iPhone 18 Pro will cost 98,000 Egyptian poundswhereas iPhone 18 Pro Max will allegedly fetch a price of £105,000.
But the company’s first foldable smartphone is attracting the most attention. According to the leak, iPhone Ultra can cost 155,750 Egyptian pounds. In direct conversion, this is more than $3,000, although this conversion does not reflect the real possible price of the smartphone in the US or other countries.
iPhone 18 Pro may become more expensive
The specified numbers allegedly come from a screenshot that was linked to the Vodafone Egypt catalog. For comparison, iPhone 17 Pro now costs about 88,800 Egyptian pounds in this market, and iPhone 17 Pro Max — 94,400 lbs. If the new leak turns out to be true, prices could increase by around 10% for the iPhone 18 Pro and 11% for the iPhone 18 Pro Max. However, this does not mean that Apple will similarly raise American prices. The cost of an iPhone in different markets depends on taxes, duties, import costs and exchange rates. At the same time, the price increase of the new Pro-models does not seem impossible. They are expected to get a new one 2nm A20 Pro chipand increasing the amount of memory and using new components can also affect the cost price.
The iPhone Ultra can cost more than $2,000
The most impressive figure concerns the complex iPhone Ultra. The claimed 155,750 Egyptian pounds is about 65% more than the current price of the iPhone 17 Pro Max in the same market. However, this difference should not be transferred directly to the American market. Previous reports indicate the price of the iPhone Ultra in the area $2000–2500. Thus, Apple’s foldable smartphone can be in the same price segment as the most expensive models from Samsung and other manufacturers. Even $2,000 for a smartphone is an extremely high price. According to sources, the iPhone Ultra will receive approx 7.8-inch internal display and 5.5-inch external screen. It is also credited with a new processor A20 and to 2 TB of built-in memory. In fact, Apple can create a new category within its own line: the iPhone Ultra will be positioned above the Pro Max not only in terms of format, but also in price.
Is the price leak real?
This is where you should be especially careful. Vodafone Egypt denied publishing these pricesand the original screenshot could not be independently verified while the allegedly relevant offer was available online. That’s why the numbers 98,000, 105,000 and 155,750 Egyptian pounds cannot be considered official Apple prices. At the same time, the general trend may turn out to be close to reality. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are not expected to get cheaper, and the foldable iPhone Ultra will almost certainly be significantly more expensive than the regular models.
What does this mean for Ukraine?
For a Ukrainian buyer, these Egyptian prices in themselves say little about the future cost of the iPhone 18. The Ukrainian price will depend on Apple’s official positioning, taxes, the hryvnia exchange rate, and sellers’ markups. If the iPhone Ultra will really start at about $2,000, its price in Ukraine can easily exceed that 80-100 thousand hryvniasdepending on the configuration and exchange rate. Therefore, for most buyers iPhone 18 Pro Max will potentially remain a much more practical option, while the iPhone Ultra will be a premium experiment for those willing to pay for a foldable format. The official presentation of the new iPhones is expected September 9. That’s when Apple should finalize the prices, features and availability of the new models.
