Starting saving now – reports suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro models are in line for $50 price hikes over their 2024 counterparts.
We’ve been discussing potential iPhone 17 price hikes for months, as Trump’s new tariffs might impact Apple’s products in various ways. Thanks to Apple’s newly announced American Manufacturing Program initiative, paired with an additional $100 billion commitment to the U.S. economy, we know Trump’s new 100% tariffs on semiconductors will not impact the chips going into the iPhone 17 models. However, Apple products will be subject to other tariffs. The iPhone maker expects to pay $1.1 billion in tariffs in the September quarter, after estimating a $900 billion tax hit for the June quarter.
It’s not just buyers worrying about price tag changes for the iPhone 17 series. Analysts also expect the 2025 iPhones to be more expensive to American buyers. According to MacRumors, GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu says in a new research note that the iPhone 17 models will be more expensive in the U.S. than their iPhone 16 counterparts were.
