Apple has raised prices on its iPhone lineup, including the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17e. The base model iPhone 17 now starts at $899, up from $799. The iPhone Air has broken into the four-digit price range, starting at $1099. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17e has also seen a price increase, jumping from $599 to $699. Despite some criticism that existing iPhone models are now more expensive without any changes, Apple attributes the price hike to rising component costs, like RAM and storage.
Apple has discontinued the iPhone 17 Pro, which will be replaced by the iPhone 18 Pro in spring 2027. The company's release schedule has been adjusted, with the new high-end models launching this fall, followed by updates to the base model and Air in March or April.
