Apple has kept the iPhone Pro at $999 since 2017—through tariffs, inflation, and supply chain chaos. But with the iPhone 17 lineup, that streak might finally end. In this video, I break down the full price history of the iPhone, why Apple managed to hold steady for so long, and what the new prices could look like for the iPhone 17, 17 Air, Pro, and Pro Max. Spoiler: some increases make sense, others… not so much.
📊 From the original $599 iPhone in 2007 to today’s Pro models
📱 iPhone 17 Base stays at $799, with big upgrades
✨ The all-new iPhone 17 Air at $949 — Apple’s slimmest iPhone ever
🚀 iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max get $50 bumps, but with more storage
💡 Are these price hikes justified? Let’s break it down.
