iPhone 17 series. Due to emerging technologies and government tariffs, it is highly probable that the price of the iPhone will see an increase this autumn.
Nevertheless, if Jefferies analyst Edison Lee’s analysis holds true, the anticipated price rise may not be as concerning as thought, and Apple could still maintain the base iPhone 17 at its current starting price. The rationale behind keeping the iPhone 17 at $799 is that it will be nearly identical to the iPhone 16, except for an improved processor and a new front-facing camera.
In the meantime, if you’re considering purchasing the iPhone 17 Air or either of the iPhone 17 Pro variations, the expected price hike might not deter you from upgrading. The analyst anticipates a somewhat reasonable $50 price increase from Apple.
