Apple Raises Prices on Older iPhone Models by $100

gizmodo.com

Apple raised prices on older iPhone models, not just the new Pro and Pro Max lines, with increases of $100 on several devices. The iPhone 16 now starts at $799, the iPhone 17e at $699, the iPhone 17 at $899, and the iPhone Air at $1,099. The price hikes stem from memory shortages driven by data centers and artificial intelligence, which former CEO Tim Cook called "unavoidable" in June. Apple also skipped a new base model this year, making the iPhone 17 the newest standard option. The increases affect last year's models, while the new foldable iPhone Duo tops out at $3,200 with 2TB of storage, highlighting broader cost pressures across the lineup.
