Apple is likely to change iPhone 17 prices as early as August 10. According to a leak, the current increase may be interim before a more noticeable rise after the iPhone 18 Pro launches in September.

A more significant increase may affect the iPhone 18 Pro. Current prices: iPhone 17e – $599, iPhone 17 – $799, iPhone Air – $999, iPhone 17 Pro – $1099, iPhone 17 Pro Max – $1199.
Apple is likely to change prices for the iPhone 17 as early as August 10. According to a leak, the current increase may be only interim before a more noticeable rise in cost, which is forecast after the release of the iPhone 18 Pro in September. This is reported by the portal Fixed Focus Digital. The source claims that a price revision for the iPhone 17 could happen tomorrow. However, the insider does not have confirmation of the price hike itself. According to his data, Apple may also have abandoned the intention to increase production capacity of certain lines from 15% to 30%, but it is not specified which components or devices are involved. In June of this year, Apple already revised prices for Mac, iPad, and a number of other products, citing a sharp rise in memory and storage costs. At that time, prices for iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods, Studio Display, and accessories remained unchanged. Now, according to insiders, a more significant increase may affect the iPhone 18 Pro. According to preliminary information, as early as next month Apple may introduce the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the company's first foldable smartphone. The base versions of the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e are expected to come later – in spring 2027. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 will likely remain Apple's key model at least until next year. Therefore, the company may revise the price of the current lineup regardless of the release of new devices. If the information about a possible price increase is confirmed, it remains unknown whether it will apply to all iPhone 17 models. Currently, the lineup is offered at the following starting prices: iPhone 17e – $599; iPhone 17 – $799; iPhone Air – $999; iPhone 17 Pro – $1099; iPhone 17 Pro Max – $1199.
