Apple iPhone 17 Series Could Get More Expensive This Year
Apple is all set to unveil the iPhone 17 series at its highly anticipated “Awe Dropping” event on September 9, 2025. The lineup will reportedly include four models iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. While buyers can expect major upgrades this year, leaks suggest that Apple may also increase prices across the entire range.
According to recent reports, the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro could see a $50 price hike in the US market. If this holds true, Indian buyers should brace for higher price tags compared to last year’s iPhone 16 series.

Traditionally, Apple has kept the base iPhone model at around $799 (₹79,990). However, leaks now suggest the iPhone 17 (128GB variant) may launch at $849 (around ₹84,990). This marks a noticeable jump for the standard iPhone.
iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max Price Hike
The iPhone 17 Pro is also expected to get pricier. Reports hint that the model could cost $1,049 (around ₹1,24,990), up from last year’s iPhone 16 Pro, which launched at $999 (128GB). Interestingly, the revised price is expected for the 256GB variant, making storage upgrades more expensive.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max might see the biggest bump, with prices tipped to reach $1,249 (approximately ₹1,50,000). For comparison, the iPhone 16 Pro Max was priced at $1,199 (₹1,44,990).
