The iPhone 18’s release date is not yet known, so if your current phone is three years or older, this is actually a great (but pricey) upgrade. It’s likely that the iPhone 18 will be more affordable with less powerful features, so if you think you won’t need the new camera, or the telephoto zoom of the Pro range, you should be patient.
As for the new foldable S$3,099 iPhone Duo, you should wait if you want the newest tech that’s set to be available on Oct 23. But bear in mind the Duo won’t have the Pro’s fancy new camera or telephoto zoom, and doesn’t come with Face ID either. But you do get a bigger screen, bragging rights, and envious stares.
WHICH VERSION SHOULD I GET?
The iPhone 18 Pro starts at S$1,899 for 256GB, which may not be enough. It’s also a S$150 increase over last year’s iPhone 17 Pro. But with storage prices almost doubling or tripling due to AI demand, it can feel expensive to jump to 512GB (S$2,199). But that’s actually the best compromise of pricing and storage at this current point in time. You’ll have enough space for photos and videos without breaking the bank.
