WSJ: Apple is considering price hike for iPhone 17 series
Briefly

Apple is reportedly considering a price increase for the iPhone 17 series, which will not be linked to US tariffs on Chinese goods. The hike is expected to be justified by design features such as a lighter model and enhanced camera technology. Despite ongoing trade tensions, Apple’s pricing strategy remains focused on product evolution. Additionally, the company plans to increase its iPhone stock in the US, with production shifting significantly to India to reduce dependency on Chinese manufacturing.
A new report indicates that Apple is contemplating a price increase for the upcoming iPhone 17 series, driven by design enhancements, and not related to US tariffs.
Despite a temporary pause on tariffs, Chinese goods still face a 30% levy, but Apple attributes the price hike of the iPhone 17 to other factors.
The upcoming iPhone 17 series will feature design modifications such as the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air and improved cameras in the Pro models.
Apple is increasing iPhone inventory sourced from India as Foxconn plans to double production to 30 million units this year.
