iPhone 17 May Become More Expensive — Apple Prepares Users for New Prices

According to information received by The Wall Street Journal from its own sources, Apple is considering raising prices for all models of the upcoming iPhone 17 line. According to experts, the possible increase in cost is due to economic and political factors that directly affect the company’s supply chain.

The main blow to Apple’s budget is caused by new duties imposed on goods manufactured in China. The application of a 20% tariff to products, including the iPhone 17, manufactured at Foxconn facilities, could cost the company approximately $900 million. To compensate for these losses, Apple is expected to raise the price bar for its devices.

Apple has not yet officially commented on the possible price increase, trying not to focus on the customs and tariff issue. At the same time, according to rumors, in the event of a real price increase, the emphasis in communication with consumers will be placed on technological innovations, fresh design and improved functions that the new generation of smartphones will have.
