the ultra-slim iPhone Air and introduced a few significant design modifications to the iPhone 17 Pro models, such as the updated camera module on the back. All four iPhone 17 variants will be up for preorder on Friday (September 12), with shipping to purchasers beginning a week later (September 19) when in-person sales commence.
However, as in every year, Apple will not limit the sale of the latest iPhone generation to online and retail platforms. Consumers in search of more affordable iPhone options will have the opportunity to select certain iPhone models from earlier generations, offered at least $100 less than the new iPhone 17 models. As you will soon discover, these are still fairly recent iPhones, equipped to handle everything that iOS 26 presents, along with current and future Apple Intelligence capabilities.
Prices commence at $599 for a 128GB iPhone 16e and ascend to $1,999 for a 2TB iPhone 17 Pro Max. The highlight of this year’s iPhone lineup is that Apple has enhanced the base storage to 256GB across all models, while keeping prices unchanged. The $799 256GB iPhone 17 proves to be a considerably better value than its predecessor.
Additionally, consumers should keep in mind that Apple provides a carrier discount for all iPhone models available that do not include “Pro,” “Air,” or “e” in the title. For instance, the iPhone 17 Pro starts at $799 only when you enroll with a carrier during the preorder phase. Otherwise, the entry price stands at $829. The prices listed below will reflect the total cost you would pay for each iPhone model, excluding any promotions.
