iPhone 17 Lineup Expected Sept. 9 With Reported $50 U.S. Price Hikes

Analysts link the anticipated price increases to tariff-related costs.

Overview

  • Reporters expect Apple to unveil four models—iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max—at a September 9 event.
  • U.S. starting prices are forecast at $799, $949, $1,049 and $1,249, with roughly $50 increases for every model except the base phone.
  • The Pro and Pro Max are reported to go on sale on Friday, September 19, according to a timeline cited from Forbes.
  • Leaks point to the Pro line swapping titanium for aluminum and adopting a redesigned battery for longer runtime, with the Pro starting at 256 GB of storage.
  • Regional reports suggest some markets will retain a physical SIM tray while U.S. units remain eSIM-only, which could influence internal layouts and battery shapes.
