The premium smartphone market is seeing significant shifts this week with the launch of Apple's new iPhone 18 Pro lineup. The arrival of the latest flagship generation gives buyers a new top-tier option, though it is also influencing pricing across older hardware.
Shoppers hoping for steep discounts on previous-generation devices may want to hold off, however. Refurbished iPhone 17 Pro models are currently holding strong in value and remain surprisingly expensive despite the new generation's debut.
Meanwhile, consumers considering foldable form factors have attractive alternatives. Samsung's Galaxy Z8 foldables are seeing fresh price cuts, providing competitive options for shoppers weighing their choices between traditional flagships and bendable designs.
