According to information from a tweet by the account @Jukanlosreve on X, the iPhone 17 series is expected to have a higher price next year.
Jong Wook Lee, a senior researcher at Samsung Securities Research Center, said that de
uld increase this year, it did not. He predicted that the iPhone 17 price will increase in September next year, when the phone is launched and opens for pre-orders.

“We initially believed that Apple’s iPhone prices would increase this year, but in r
eality there was no abnormal price increase. This has led to a decline in profit margins since the third quarter of this year. iPhone prices are expected to increase next year,” said Jong Wook Lee.
The iPhone 17 series is expected to have notable adjustments, with the u
Ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air likely to be the most expensive model, although its specifications may be inferior to the iPhone 17 Pro Max. specifically, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to be equipped with th
e A18 chip, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max will use the more advanced A18 Pro chip. In addition, the new iPhone 17 Air will only have
a single rear camera and rely on computational photography technology instead of using multiple cameras as before.

But next year, the iPhone 17 Air (expected to replace the iPhone 17 Plus) will cost $1,299, $100 more than the iPhone 17 Pro Max if there are no price changes. This suggests that Apple may believe that consumers will be willing to pay more for the iPhone 17 Air's ultra-thin design.
Additionally, it is possible that Apple will increase the price of the iPhone 17 Pro Max by $200, bringing the price of this model to $1,399, but it will only be available in 3 storage options of 512 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB . As a result, the iPhone 17 series could be sold at the following prices:
- iPhone 17: 899 USD (22.83 million VND).
- iPhone 17 Air: 1,299 USD (32.99 million VND).
- iPhone 17 Pro: 1,199 USD (30.45 million VND).
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: $1,399 for 512 GB version (VND 35.53 million).

However, these predictions may not be accurate. One major factor that could affect prices is the possibility of a 10% tariff on Chinese imports, which President-elect Donald Trump has said will be implemented on the first day of his second term. If that happens, Apple could incur additional shipping costs and potentially pass the burden on to consumers. If the iPhone 17 price increases next year, Apple could cite the tariff hike if President Trump implements it after taking office.
