The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro might debut with a base storage of 256GB, accompanied by a $50 price increase across the lineup. This speculation arises as the release date approaches, with the announcement expected on Tuesday, September 9. Currently, the iPhone 16 series starts at 128GB for most models, except for the Pro Max, which begins at 256GB. Prices for these models start at $799 and go up to $1,199. The anticipated price adjustment for the iPhone 17 series is seen as a response to rising component costs and tariffs, potentially setting the new prices at $849 for the base model and $1,249 for the Pro Max. Increasing the iPhone 17 Pro’s base storage to 256GB could align it with the Pro Max and justify the price hike while simplifying the product lineup. Additionally, Apple is reportedly considering pairing these price increases with new features and design updates to offer more value to consumers.
