- The iPhone 17 Pro will reportedly cost $50 more than the iPhone 16 Pro
- However, it’s also said to start with twice as much storage
- Based on this and other leaks, we’ve predicted pricing for every iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max configuration
It’s now looking very likely that the iPhone 17 series – and in particular the iPhone 17 Pro – will cost more than the iPhone 16 series, with the latest leak pointing to a $50 price increase for the iPhone 17 Pro.
This tip comes from leaker Instant Digital (via MacRumors), and they’ve actually made the same iPhone 17 Pro price rise claim before. So, they’re just reiterating it here, but this shows that they’re still confident in its accuracy. It’s not all bad news, either, as Instant Digital additionally states that there won’t be a 128GB model, so you’ll be getting 256GB for your money instead.
At $50 more than the current 128GB iPhone 16 Pro, the iPhone 17 Pro would start at $1,049, but again, that’s with 256GB of storage, and since the 256GB iPhone 16 Pro costs $1,099, that could actually be seen as a price decrease for the iPhone 17 Pro – at least for anyone who wants 256GB.
Predicting the other prices
This gives us some indication of what the other models and configurations might cost, but the same source (and others) have previously said to expect a $50 price increase across the board.
In which case, assuming the iPhone 17 Pro is the only phone to be getting a storage bump, prices might look like what you can see in the chart below.

Note that we haven’t included the iPhone 17 Air since this is a totally new model, so there’s no price history to work with. Mind you, there’s a good chance that it’ll have a similar price to the iPhone 16 Plus – or perhaps cost $50 more, in line with what we’re hearing about the other iPhone 17 models.
In any case, we’d take all of this with a pinch of salt, but with Trump’s tariffs increasing production costs, it seems likely that the iPhone 17 series will cost more than the current models anyway.
We should find out in September, with leaks suggesting September 9 could be the date when Apple will announce the iPhone 17 series.
