Apple raises prices for unchanged iPhone models
Apple has quietly increased the cost of the iPhone 17 series, iPhone Air, and iPhone 16 by $100 each in the US, with the hike applying across all available regions. This move, driven by ongoing memory supply constraints, breaks with the company's usual practice of discounting previous-generation hardware after new launches.
GSMArena confirms the price hike extends to the iPhone 16, which is now $799 in the US, and notes the increases are happening globally. The outlet attributes the move to a memory supply crunch, marking a rare instance of Apple raising prices on older devices rather than lowering them.
