Following Apple's "Surprise and shine" event that saw the announcement of the iPhone Duo and the iPhone 18 Pro , the company increased the price on all of its last-gen iPhones that are still available for purchase.
The iPhone 16 sold for $699 just last week, and now it's up to $799. The iPhone 17E with 256GB of storage now costs $699 instead of its launch $599 price. The iPhone 17 starts at $899 with 256GB of storage instead of $799. The trend continues up the ladder with the iPhone Air, which now costs $1,099 instead of $999.
Forward Outlook & Market Perspective
The base iPhone 18 was missing from Apple's September event, with the focus being on its highest-end models that start at $1,199. For now, if you want an affordable iPhone, it'll cost you more than it did just yesterday.
