iPhone Price Hike: The prices of mobile phones have been continuously increasing for the last few months. Many companies including Samsung and Xiaomi have increased the prices of their smartphones. Till now it seemed that Apple could avoid the price hike and would launch the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18 Pro models at the same prices as the iPhone launched last year, but now Tim Cook himself has dashed these hopes. Apple CEO said that the prices of storage and memory chips are increasing rapidly, due to which the increase in the prices of iPhone cannot be avoided.

Cook said this regarding the prices of iPhone

In an interview, Cook said that the price hike cannot be stopped. Till now we were managing the burden coming on us and were trying to save the customers from this, but now the situation cannot be handled. Although Cook did not mention the iPhone 18 model in his statement, it is believed that along with the iPhone, the iPad will also be affected by the rising prices and customers will have to pay more to buy them.

How expensive can the new iPhones be?

According to reports, to maintain its current profit margin, Apple will have to increase the price of iPhone 18 Pro by about Rs 25,000-30,000. Apple decides the prices of iPhone according to storage. Apple had paid $39 (about Rs 3700) for 12GB RAM in a model of iPhone 17 Pro, but for the same amount of RAM in the iPhone 18 Pro model, it has to pay about Rs 14,000. Talking about the base model, the storage price can increase from $ 13 (approximately Rs 1228) to $ 51 (approximately Rs 4820).

How much did Apple’s costs increase?

Apple had to spend $ 530 (about Rs 50,000) for parts and manufacturing of iPhone 17 Pro. Now due to increase in the prices of memory chips, the manufacturing cost of iPhone 18 Pro model will cost the company $ 726 (about Rs 69,000). Apart from this, Apple will also provide an upgraded camera system in the new iPhone, due to which the price may go up a little further. According to the report, Apple’s margin on the iPhone 17 Pro model was 47 percent. Accordingly, considering the cost, company’s profit margin and Apple’s pricing strategy, the price of iPhone 18 Pro can be $ 1399 (approximately Rs 1,32,244) in America. This price will go up further after including taxes and other things in India.

Money has to be sent in dollars
American shares are purchased in dollars. Under the Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS) of the Reserve Bank of India, any Indian citizen can send up to 2.5 lakh dollars abroad in a financial year. Investors can convert rupees into dollars from their bank account and transfer them to their investment account.

Facility to buy fractional shares also

It is important to understand tax rules
Capital gains tax is applicable in India on profits from US stocks. Apart from this, tax on dividends can be deducted in America. However, due to the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and America, investors get relief from paying tax twice.

foldable iPhone: The wait for Apple’s first foldable iPhone may soon end. All indications are that the company may launch it in September. As its launch is getting closer, information related to it is also coming to light. Now in a recent leak it has been said that a special system will be used to prevent the foldable iPhone from heating up. According to the leak, Apple will use vapor chamber cooling system in it. If these speculations prove to be true then it remains to be seen how Apple will manage this engineering in a thin designed iPhone.

User can use the cooling system of 17 Pro

Tipster Fixed Focus Digital has hinted about this cooling system on Chinese social media platform Weibo. Tipster says that this phone is going to come with excellent vapor chamber cooling. The company has used this system in iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models. If this is continued in foldable iPhone also, then it shows that Apple is considering this system as a success. In view of the heating complaints in models like iPhone 15 Pro and 16 Pro, Apple included a vapor chamber in 17 Pro models for the first time.

How does a vapor chamber cooling system work?

Vapor chamber cooling is a common method used for cooling in laptops and smartphones. In this system, liquid coolant is filled inside a heat pipe. After absorbing heat, this coolant turns into vapor and goes to the cold place of the device, due to which it again becomes liquid. In this way it spreads the heat over the entire surface, due to which the phone does not get hot. This cycle continues until the heat completely disappears from the phone.

What can be expected in the foldable iPhone?

The foldable iPhone will be launched with the name iPhone Ultra. It will have a 7.8 inch main display and a 5.5 inch cover display. This iPhone coming with A20 Pro chipset will be launched with a total of 4 cameras. A 5,800mAh battery pack can be found in this iPhone. In terms of price, this will be Apple’s most expensive iPhone till date. It is believed that its starting price could be around Rs 2 lakh.

iPhone Display: The display of iPhone is considered one of the best displays in the smartphone industry. This is also one of the biggest features of the iPhone, but very few people know that this part is not made by Apple itself. Even though Apple produces some parts of the iPhone in-house, including the processor and modem, it is dependent on its biggest rival Samsung for the display. It may sound strange, but most of the iPhone displays are manufactured by Samsung. Apart from Samsung, Apple also gets displays manufactured by LG and BOE.

Samsung is the display supplier

Samsung’s subsidiary Samsung Display produces the OLED displays used in iPhones. It is different from Samsung Mobile, which makes smartphones. Since Apple is known for providing premium experience, it is also ready to spend more money for the latest display technology. This is why many times Samsung’s latest display technology becomes available for iPhone before its own mobiles.

Apple and Samsung have been together for a long time

Apple first used OLED panel in iPhone X launched in 2017. The display required for this model was prepared by Samsung. Apple said that the OLED panel was customized for the iPhone, due to which it was able to provide brilliant colors, better contrast ratio, wide color support. About three years later, with the iPhone 12 series, the company started providing OLED displays in each of its models. By then, LG and BOE had also started making Apple’s standard OLED panels. Apple also benefited from this. Its supply chain diversified and component costs also started reducing. For the first time, the company used LTPO OLED in iPhone 13 models, which supported 120 Hz refresh rate. Apple brought always-on functionality in the iPhone 14 Pro models. Now the company is considering using LTPO+ display panels made by Samsung in the iPhone 18 Pro models to be launched in September.

What is the advantage of LTPO+ display?

LTPO+ (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon Oxide Plus) displays are more power efficient and infrared cameras can also be placed under these panels. Another advantage of this will be that even after offering variable refresh rate (1-120Hz), it will consume less battery. This means that the iPhone will be able to offer great visuals even when using less power.

Users are most happy with these models

US President Donald Trump has reached China after 8 years. His plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport, where he was received by Chinese Vice President Han Zeng and Chinese diplomat Shi Feng. He will stay in Beijing till May 15. Earlier he had gone to China in 2017 and enmity had started after that visit. This tour is being considered a big opportunity to stabilize relations between the two countries, although the environment is a bit complicated due to the Iran war. The Trump administration alleges that China is providing economic support to Tehran by purchasing Iranian oil on a large scale, while China is calling it a matter related to its energy needs. On the other hand, American farmers are also keeping an eye on this visit, because they hope for a strong trade deal. So do you know what is the purpose of Trump’s visit and what is going to happen in it?

What is the purpose of Trump’s visit?

7 issues are possible to be discussed between Trump and Xi Jinping:

1. Trade and Tariffs: The trade war between the two countries is still going on. Trump had earlier warned of heavy tariffs on Chinese goods. Now both sides will talk about reducing trade tensions, creating new trade forums and enhancing the existing trade truce.
2. Boeing Aircraft Deals: According to reports, a big deal worth more than Rs 9 lakh crore is possible between America and China. China can buy 500 Boeing 737 MAX, 100 Boeing 787 Dreamliner and several 777X widebody aircraft. If this deal happens, it will be one of the biggest aircraft deals in history.
3. Soybeans and Agricultural Products: American farmers are expecting a lot from this visit. During the trade war, China had increased soybean purchases from Brazil, which caused losses to American farmers. Now China can again buy American soybean and other agricultural products.
4. Rare Earth Minerals: These minerals are very important for electric vehicles, chips, defense and high-tech industries. China is the world’s largest supplier. Both countries will discuss increasing the truce on their supply and reducing America’s dependence.
5. AI, Semiconductor and Technology: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is trying to sell AI chips. Trump himself called Jensen Huang and invited him on a visit, because he wants to negotiate with China on the issue of AI chips.
6. Iran War: This is a very important issue of the tour. Amidst the US-Israel conflict with Iran, Trump will put pressure on China to reduce the purchase of Iranian oil. China buys cheap oil from Iran, which is essential for its energy security. America wants China not to provide economic support to Tehran.
7. Taiwan: Trump will talk to Xi about an $11 billion US arms package to Taiwan. China considers Taiwan as its part and strongly opposes it.

Trump on a trip with 17 richest businessmen of the world

Trump is accompanied by 17 businessmen like Elon Musk, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Boeing CEO Robert ‘Kelly’ Ortberg and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. On May 13, Elon Musk tweeted on X, ‘Only Jensen and I are with Trump on Air Force One.’ According to reports, there will be separate rounds of talks between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Trump on Thursday and Friday.

So will the enmity between the two countries end?

Not completely. Both leaders want to stabilize relations and make some big deals, but competition will remain in technology, Taiwan, military and AI. Growth may slow down on some issues due to the Iran war. Still, both sides are emphasizing on ‘stability’ and ‘cooperation’. This is an important step for US-China relations. Easing tensions between the world’s two largest economies will impact global markets, trade and security. American businessmen are hoping to strengthen their business in China through this visit, while China wants stability and economic benefits.

Current situation of US-Israel and Iran war

In February-March 2026, America and Israel launched military attacks on Iran. In this, many big leaders including Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were killed. Iran almost closed the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation. Due to this the global oil supply was severely disrupted. The US-Israel and Iran war has cooled down but the ceasefire is on ‘life support’. Trump has rejected Iran’s recent proposal. America does not want to allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons, while Iran is talking about its security and regional influence. In such a situation, Trump is pressurizing China to reduce the purchase of Iranian oil because China is the biggest buyer of Iran. However, Trump had tweeted that we do not need China’s help in the matter of Iran.

Will this meeting solve the energy crisis?

Not now. Due to Hormuz blockage, Brent crude oil reached $ 100-113 per barrel. Gasoline in America went above $4.50 per gallon. Inflation has increased across the world and fuel crisis is visible in many countries. There can be a big discussion on this in the meeting between Trump and Jinping. Trump is offering China to buy more American oil, LNG and energy products, so that dependence on Iranian oil is reduced and supply increases until the opening of Hormuz. If a deal is reached, China may agree to American soybeans, Boeing aircraft and energy as well as some rare earth minerals.

Foreign affairs expert and retired JNU professor A. Of. Pasha Ka believes that the entire crisis will not end yet. It will take time for Hormuz to open completely and shipping to return to normal. China is working rapidly on its renewable energy (solar, EV), so it may be less affected in the long run. Countries like America and Europe are under more pressure right now. Trump is saying that as soon as the war ends, oil prices will ‘fall like a rock’ and there will be a ‘Golden Age’ for America, but at present the situation remains tense.

How does India view Trump’s visit?

A. Of. Pasha says, ‘India is watching this meeting very carefully. Both countries are important for India because there is QUAD, defense and technology partnership with America, while there is trade, BRICS and neighborhood relations with China. India also has concerns from this meeting:

• If US-China relations improve too much and there is a major trade reset, India’s strategic value (as China’s counter to the US) may reduce.
• India is also affected by the energy crisis because we import oil. If oil prices increase due to the Hormuz problem, inflation will increase.
• If there is a US-China deal on rare earth minerals and supply chain, then India may also get new opportunities or challenges.
• India wants to take advantage by balancing the US-China tension – neither too much enmity, nor too much friendship.

There are also good aspects of this meeting, like if Trump is successful in getting China to reduce Iranian oil, then there may be some stability in the Middle East, which is good for India. Also, if America gives some leeway to China then global markets can stabilize.
