iPhone 17 might get price increase next week, per new rumor

Apple is widely expected to raise iPhone prices when the iPhone 18 Pro launches next month. But a new rumor suggests the iPhone 17 might get a price increase as early as next week.

iPhone 17 might get price increase next week, per new rumor

Recent reports suggest that Apple may increase the price of the iPhone 17 in the near future. Weibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital announced on August 10 that "rumors are circulating that the iPhone 17 will increase in price on August 10." While the source is unverified, the leaker's connections lend some credibility to the claim. If Apple is indeed planning to raise prices before the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro next month, it would be an unexpected move, as previous increases were only seen in September following the release of new models.

It remains unclear whether all iPhone 17 models will experience price hikes or only select ones. Only time will tell if Apple will raise iPhone 17 prices next week, and what factors might be driving this potential price adjustment.
