Less than a week before Apple officially unveils all the details on its iPhone 17 lineup, the rumor mill is buzzing with estimates of what each of the four predicted model types will cost. And for those who are anticipating purchasing an iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max, there may be an increase in price over last year’s model.
Citing a report from Trendforce, the website Macrumors reports that the base iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models will cost $1,199, $200 more than the iPhone 16 Pro, but will include twice as much memory — 256GB instead of the standard 128GB. The 17 Pro Max will ship with the same base memory, 256GB, but the price will increase $100 to $1,299, according to the report.
The site also reports that the iPhone 17 Air, a new slimmer model expected to be introduced, will start at $1,099 with 256GB of storage. The iPhone 17 is expected to start at $799 with 128GB storage, the same pricing and capacity as the iPhone 16.
The Trendforce report also predicts a bump in RAM from 8GB to 12GB for all models except the regular iPhone 17. The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air are expected to use a new Apple A19 processor while the Pro models will use an A19 Pro chip.
According to Trendforce, all four models will use the same type of screen, a flexible AMOLED display running at 120Hz. Screen sizes vary from 6.2 inches for the iPhone 17 and Pro, 6.6 inches for the Air and 6.8 inches for the Pro Max.
Apple didn’t respond to request for comment.
