Contrary to popular belief, the new iPhone 17 price won’t skyrocket due to tariffs. But Apple phones just aren’t cheap.
Apple’s iPhones have never been cheap. On Sept. 9, the prices for the new iPhone 17 lineup were revealed at Apple’s fall iPhone event, held at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, and. well, in a year of tariffs and other economic turmoil, they could be worse.
CNET Senior Editor James Bricknell wasn’t surprised by the iPhone prices.
„Given the tariffs and all the other stuff that’s happened in the past year, the prices are good“, he said. „They match what you would expect in terms of inflation rather than the leap I was expecting.“
Apple unveiled three models on during the event: the iPhone 17, the iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Pro.
