Recent reports from Indonesian media suggest that Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 lineup could carry significantly higher price tags than current models, with the most expensive variant potentially exceeding Rp 50 million (roughly $3,200).
CNBC Indonesia reported that the latest iPhone pricing could break the Rp 50 million barrier, citing leaks about the forthcoming series. Kompas.com separately estimated that the new iPhone Ultra model might start around Rp 37 million, while the iPhone 18 Pro could be priced from Rp 22 million. detikInet also published price predictions for both devices ahead of their expected launch.
Beyond pricing, ANTARA News noted that Apple may name its first foldable device "iPhone Duo." This would mark the company's entry into the foldable smartphone market, a segment already populated by competitors like Samsung and Huawei.
Additional speculation from Pontianak Post suggests the iPhone 18 Pro could feature an A20 Pro chip with a 7-core GPU, potentially boosting gaming performance. However, these details remain unconfirmed by Apple.
The reports stem from supply chain chatter and analyst predictions rather than official announcements. Apple has not commented on any of the claims, and the company typically remains silent on product rumors until its formal unveiling events.
Indonesian outlets have been tracking the iPhone 18 story closely, with several publishing near-identical price figures. The consistency across multiple sources lends some credibility to the leaks, though final pricing could shift before production begins.
What to watch: Apple's official announcement, expected later this year, will confirm whether the iPhone Ultra and iPhone Duo materialize as rumored and whether prices indeed climb to these levels.
