Overview
- Preorders opened September 11, with U.S. deliveries starting September 19 and starting prices set at $799 (iPhone 17), $999 (Air), $1,099 (Pro) and $1,199 (Pro Max).
- Analyst Ming‑Chi Kuo estimates overall iPhone 17 production for the quarter is roughly 25% higher than the iPhone 16 cycle, signaling stronger initial demand.
- The iPhone 17 Pro Max is leading early sales with production allocation about 60% above last year’s Pro Max, while the ultrathin Air is not the top seller in the first window, according to Kuo.
- Shipping lead times have lengthened by about a week compared with last year even as orders increase, Kuo’s supply‑chain checks indicate.
- In Peru, authorized reseller iShop Perú has not opened preorders and expects local availability in early October, with final retail prices yet to be confirmed.
