Why Are iPhone 17 Series Prices Going Up?
The $50 bump might not sound massive, but when you’re already paying close to $1,000 for a phone, every dollar matters. Analysts point to a few key reasons:
- Rising production costs for components
- U.S. import tariffs affecting Apple’s supply chain
- Apple keeping the same pricing for Pro models since 2019, making an increase overdue
Interestingly, some reports suggest that the vanilla iPhone 17 may escape the price hike in certain markets, though U.S. buyers should expect the $50 bump.
What’s New in the iPhone 17 Series?
Apple isn’t just raising prices for nothing — several upgrades are expected:
- New “iPhone 17 Air” will replace the Plus model with a slimmer, lighter design
- Bigger display for the base model: from 6.1″ (iPhone 16) to 6.3″
- Thinner bezels and updated Dynamic Island interface
- 90Hz refresh rate for the base model (Pro models stay at 120Hz)
- Anti-reflective coating on Pro displays for better outdoor visibility
- Camera upgrades, including an 8x telephoto zoom on Pro models
When Will We Know for Sure?
Apple is rumored to reveal the iPhone 17 lineup in the second week of September 2025. Until then, the $50 hike remains a leak — but with past rumors hinting at similar moves, this one feels likely.
