  "account": "Last month, Apple was rumored to be increasing the prices of its iPhones after raising the costs of MacBook and iPad models earlier in the summer. The annual September Apple event has finally arrived, and it can be confirmed that the iPhone 18 Pro line has indeed experienced price increases. Speculation suggested that Apple might raise phone prices by $100 to align with Samsung and Google's price increases or leverage the company's new Upgrade program for higher price hikes. At Apple's \"Surprise and Shine\" keynote, a $100 increase for the Pro and Pro Max models was confirmed.",
  "summary": "Apple announced the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max on Sept. 9. The phones come with a price increase over last year's models.",
