Apple is preparing to reveal the iPhone 17 series at its launch event on September 9. The upcoming lineup will include four models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. This year, Apple is expected to discontinue the Plus variant this year, potentially replacing it with the new iPhone 17 Air. This model is said to be the lightest and slimmest iPhone yet.
iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Air: Prices (Expected)
According to industry reports, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max may see higher starting prices compared to last year. The change is linked to Apple’s decision to increase the base storage option, which will now likely begin at 256GB instead of 128GB. Reports suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro could cost $1,199, showing a $200 jump from the iPhone 16 Pro. The iPhone 17 Pro Max may start at $1,299, an increase of $100 over the previous model, while retaining the same 256GB storage as its entry option.
