Description:
The iPhone 17 Pro is again rumored to cost more than its predecessor, but we're now hearing that you might get more storage for your money.

FULL STORY ======================================================================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

Its 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 theyve actually made the same iPhone 17 Pro price rise claim before. So, they're
just reiterating it here, but this shows that theyre still confident in its accuracy. Its not all bad news, either, as Instant Digital additionally
states that there wont be a 128GB model, so youll 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, thats 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 havent included the iPhone 17 Air since this is a totally new model, so theres 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 were hearing about the other iPhone 17 models.

In any case, wed take all of this with a pinch of salt, but with Trumps 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 .
