iPhone 17 Series Likely to Get Price Hike Globally — But India May See Stable Pricing
iPhone 17 series may see a $50–$100 global price hike due to tariffs, storage upgrades, and new features; India pricing may remain stable.
Apple iPhone 17 series may get a global price hike due to tariffs, storage upgrades, and new features; India pricing could stay similar to last year.
Expected to debut on September 9, 2025, Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 series is creating excitement due to both its anticipated price increase and its enhancements. In comparison to last year, purchasers might have to pay an additional $50 to $100 for the new models, according to Jeff Pu, an analyst with GF Securities.
Why the Price of the iPhone 17 Could Increase
Three main factors, according to industry insiders, are responsible for the anticipated global price increase:
- Impact of Tariffs: Increasing tariffs on iPhones made in China and India and exported to the US may result in higher retail costs.
- Storage Upgrades: The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to start with 256GB of storage, which would match the Pro Max approach and possibly replace the old base model with 128GB.
- Improved AI features, a next-generation chipset, and sophisticated camera capabilities are among the anticipated hardware and feature enhancements.
Will the price of the iPhone 17 be high in India?
Apple's increased "Made in India" production may spare Indian consumers from the most severe price increases as international markets prepare for higher prices. Prices for the majority of models may remain comparable to those of the iPhone 16 series thanks to this local manufacturing. If it uses the 256GB base storage, the iPhone 17 Pro can still experience a lag.
What to anticipate during the launch The day
The iPhone 17 lineup, according to leaks, will include:
- iPhone 17e
- iPhone 17 Air
- iPhone 17 Pro
- iPhone 17 Pro Max
Every model is anticipated to have enhanced performance efficiency, a better camera, and a refined display.
Apple will officially unveil the iPhone 17 series on September 9, 2025, revealing exact pricing and availability details.
