Leaks suggest the iPhone 17 Pro will launch with 256 GB base storage and a starting price of ~$1,049—just $50 more than last year’s model. Announced at Apple’s September 2025 event, this move may offer enhanced value over the iPhone 16 Pro’s equivalent variant.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Pro may break from tradition by launching with a 256 GB base storage, doubling the usual 128 GB tier. This aligns it with the iPhone 17 Pro Max and meets growing consumer demand for more storage—driven by high-resolution video, ProRAW, and gaming needs.
Leaked pricing information hints at a $50 increase over the iPhone 16 Pro, bringing the entry-level price to around $1,049 (₹92,000) in the US, while the Pro Max may start at $1,249 (₹1,09,500).
Despite the slight price bump, the doubled storage could actually offer better value—comparing favorably to the 256 GB iPhone 16 Pro, which costs $1,099.
The iPhone 17 series—including the Pro—are expected to debut at Apple’s September 9, 2025 launch event, with sales starting around September 19.
