Apple raised prices by $100 on four existing iPhone models—iPhone 16, iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17e—following its iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo announcements, with new starting prices ranging from $699 to $1099. The price hikes apply across the lineup, while Apple discontinued the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. CEO Tim Cook had previously warned of "unavoidable" increases due to rising memory and storage chip costs. Cook attributed the surge to high demand from AI and neocloud companies building data centers, calling the semiconductor shortage a "hundred-year flood" unlike anything in his 40-year career.
