"Buying the cheapest "Pro" version of Apple's new iPhone lineup just got $100 more expensive. The brand new iPhone 17 Pro starts at $1,099. That's a $100 increase from the starter iPhone 16 Pro model, which launched at $999 with 128 GB of storage. Unlike its predecessor, though, the entry-level iPhone 17 Pro has 256 GB - more storage than last year's cheapest iPhone 16 Pro."
"That $1,099 starting price point for iPhone 17 Pro is actually the same as the 256 GB launch price of the iPhone 16 Pro. Confused? Think of it this way: While it's now more costly to break into the iPhone Pro tier, you're getting more storage than last year's base Pro model. In other words, it's basically just Apple eliminating the 128 GB Pro variant."
Apple raised the iPhone 17 Pro starting price to $1,099, $100 higher than the iPhone 16 Pro's $999 launch. The entry-level iPhone 17 Pro ships with 256 GB of storage rather than 128 GB, effectively removing the 128 GB Pro variant. The 2-terabyte iPhone 17 Pro Max is offered with a $1,999 price tag. The higher base storage reflects growing file sizes from HD and 4K video and higher-resolution smartphone photos. Wall Street analysts anticipated a price increase, with forecasts ranging from $50 to $100. Morgan Stanley expected a modest boost, while Jefferies cited tariffs as a factor.
