AppleはフラッグシップiPhone全ラインナップの価格を100ドル引き上げ、新しい折りたたみ式iPhone Duoは1999ドルからとなった。9月12日に始まった予約販売を経て、本日から店頭販売が始まる。バンク・オブ・アメリカのMichael Funk氏の分析によると、米国の通信キャリアVerizon、T-Mobile、AT&TはiPhoneのインセンティブを引き上げ、iPhone 18 Pro Maxの最大下取りクレジットは1200ドルに上昇した。これはiPhone 17 Pro Maxの1100ドル、iPhone 16 Pro Maxの1000ドルからの引き上げとなる。iPhone 18 Proも1200ドルの下取りクレジットが適用される。こうした節約分は、35ドルから40ドルの開通手数料、端末の小売価格全額に対する税金、さらにAppleCare+プランの150ドルによって相殺される。最高額のクレジット対象となる端末を下取りに出す場合、Funk氏によると初期費用はiPhone 18 Proで291ドルから296ドル、iPhone 18 Pro Maxで400ドルから405ドルになるという。Funk氏は、平均販売価格の上昇とDuoの普及により力強いiPhoneサイクルになるとの見通しを示し、Siri AIがアップグレードへの関心を高めるはずだと付け加えた。
