Despite Trump’s tariffs on non-US-made goods, Apple was able to delay the inevitable price hikes on its products, leaving the iPhone 16 family phones at their original prices. However, that’s about to change with the iPhone 17.
A market analyst predicts that Apple will raise its prices by $50 in the US on almost all models. This means that the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will ask $1,049 and $1,249, respectively.
Since the rumored iPhone 17 Slim doesn’t have an equivalent in the current iPhone 16 lineup, it’s hard to tell what the pricing will be, but the general sentiment is that it will replace the iPhone 16 Plus and will inherit the same price tag. If that’s true, the 17 Slim will likely go for $949.
The only iPhone in the series that will escape the rumored $50 price hike is the vanilla iPhone 17.
According to the analyst, Apple increasing prices is mostly due to the import tariffs as well as the rising cost of some components.
In any case, that was bound to happen at some point because the iPhone Pro, for example, has been selling for $999 in the US since 2019.
