Processor Cost May Drive Up iPhone 18 Prices A recent report from leaker 'Digital Chat Station' claims that the manufacturing cost of the new 2nm processor for the iPhone 18 range could lead to significant price increases. This follows an earlier report by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in September 2024, which suggested high costs due to low yield rates in production. However, Kuo revised his prediction in March 2025, noting improved yields of 60% to 70%, and suggesting that the 2nm processor might be used across the entire iPhone 18 lineup. The new processor is expected to offer a 10-15% performance boost over the upcoming iPhone 17 range, but it may also bring an unknown price hike. Digital Chat Station has a history of accurate Apple leaks, including recent reports on under-display Face ID for foldable devices.
