Will Apple Keep iPhone Prices Steady This Time?

Apple's big reveal is just around the corner, and whispers about the iPhone 17 series prices are already making rounds. An expert has shared some guesses on what we might expect. First off, the standard iPhone 17 seems to be holding steady at $799, same as last year's model. That's a win for those who like to upgrade without breaking the bank. The iPhone 17 Air, which is new, might start at $899, but could go up to $949. That's a small bump from the iPhone 16 Plus, which started at $899. Now, here's where things get interesting. The iPhone 17 Pro is rumored to start at $1, 099, which is $100 more than the iPhone 16 Pro. But wait, there's a catch. The iPhone 17 Pro might come with 256GB of storage right out of the box, compared to the iPhone 16 Pro's 128GB. So, is it a price hike or just more storage for the same price? That's the question. On the bright side, the iPhone 17 Pro Max seems to be staying put at $1, 199, same as last year's model. So, if you're eyeing the top-of-the-line iPhone, you might not have to worry about extra costs. Apple has done a good job of keeping iPhone prices stable in the U. S. for a while now. But with rumors swirling every year, it's hard not to wonder if that will change. Will this be the year Apple raises prices? We'll have to wait and see what happens at the big event on September 9.
