RAM has become one of the most expensive components of the moment. Data centers dedicated to artificial intelligence are sucking up the production of memory chips, and smartphones are paying the price. According to the analysis firm TrendForce, memory represents approximately 34% of the cost of the components of the iPhone 18 Pro 256 GB, compared to 10% a year earlier. Apple ended up raising the price of its Pro models by €150 at the start of the school year, without increasing the quantity of RAM: it remains at 12 GB, as on the previous generation.
Amazon erases this increase with its Pre Black Friday offers. The site displays the iPhone 18 Pro Max 256 GB at €1,466.10 instead of €1,629, or €162.90 discount (10%), thanks to the coupon to check on the product page.
At this price, the large model even falls below the official price of the iPhone 18 Pro, its little 6.3-inch brother, sold for €1,479 in 256 GB. Apple, however, charges a €150 difference between the two models, whatever the capacity.
