BofA Securities says Apple’s upcoming fall product event will likely focus on
its first foldable iPhone, marked price moves for Pro models, and a shifted
shipment cadence. Rumors put entry-level foldable pricing at about $2,099, which
would make it Apple’s most expensive iPhone. BofA expects iPhone 18 Pro and Pro
Max prices to rise $150–$200 due to higher memory and storage costs. Reportedly
lower-priced standard models (iPhone 18, 18 Air, 18e) are delayed to spring
2027, a change that would leave only higher-end new models for the holiday
selling season. BofA says separated rollouts could lift mix and ASP but may
prompt price-sensitive consumers to delay upgrades. Maintains upgrade rating and
PT $380, implying roughly 37x FY2027 EPS.
