Apple is widely expected to raise iPhone prices when the iPhone 18 Pro launches next month. But a new rumor suggests the iPhone 17 might get a price increase as early as next week.\n\nWeibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital says “rumors are circulating that the iPhone 17 will increase in price on August 10.” Price increases on Monday would be surprising but not out of the question. When Apple introduced price increases earlier in the summer, the iPhone was spared.

It was assumed we’d see increases in September, but now prices might change even sooner.\n\nThere’s no direct source mentioned other than the leaker saying “rumors are circulating.” Fixed Focus Digital has a track record of being well connected, lending credibility. If Apple does intend to change prices of iPhone 17 models sticking around through year-end, perhaps it’s determined there’s no reason to wait until September. The question is whether all iPhone 17 models will get higher prices or just select ones.
