Apple reduces production by up to 20%"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Kathmandu. There is big news about Apple&#8217;s new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. <\/p>\n<p>According to the news, due to the lower demand for these two phones, the company has reduced their parts order. Parts orders for October have been reduced by 15 to 20 percent compared to the initial plans. The increased price of phones is considered to be the main reason for this. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"> <strong>Is the price of an expensive iPhone a problem? <\/strong> <\/span> <\/p>\n<p>This year, Apple has increased the starting price of the iPhone 18 Pro series by $100 compared to the previous model. According to the news, the starting price of the iPhone 18 Pro in the US is $ 1,199 and the iPhone 18 Pro Max is $ 1,299. As a result, customers have to spend more money to buy these phones. <\/p>\n<p>Expensive phones may be forcing some customers to postpone their purchase decisions. The report also mentions that the wait time for iPhone delivery has decreased in more than 30 markets. This shows that demand has decreased since the launch of the phone. Apple has not officially commented. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"> <strong>Increasing memory chip cost is also a factor<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>}<\/p>\n<p>The decline in demand for the iPhone 18 Pro is not only due to its price, but also because of the rising cost of memory chips. Globally, a large number of advanced chips and memory are needed to build AI data centers. This is putting pressure on their supply and the cost is increasing. <\/p>\n<p>This can affect smartphones and other electronic products. Apple also increased the prices of its iPad and MacBook in June. Now, due to rising memory chip costs and high prices, the company has to adjust its production plans. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"> <strong>All iPhone models yet to be launched<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Apple launched its premium iPhone models in September this year. According to the news, after the regular iPhone 18 and iPhone Air, it can be launched in 2027. As a result, the company does not have new low-cost models in the initial initial stage. Which can attract many customers. It can also affect the overall sales. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"> <strong>Is this a warning sign for Apple? <\/strong> <\/span> <\/p>\n<p>The news of the production cuts of the iPhone 18 Pro does not mean that Apple is incurring a big loss. The price of the company&#8217;s premium phones has increased. Therefore, even if there are fewer phone sales, the impact on revenue depends on many factors. Customer feedback will be important for the company in the future. Apple&#8217;s foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, will also be available for sale on October 23. Its starting price is $ 1,999. Now it remains to be seen how customers will react to such an expensive phone. \u2013 Agency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kathmandu.
