The iPhone 17 Will Be $50 More, Says Jefferies Analyst. Here's Why He's Right

UNITED STATES, JUL 30 – Apple will raise prices by $50 on most iPhone 17 models to offset rising component costs and 20% tariffs on Chinese-made phones, while the base model remains at $799, analysts say.

  • Jefferies analysts predict Apple will raise prices by about $50 for the iPhone 17 Pro, Pro Max, and Air models this year in the U.S.
  • This price increase follows Apple reporting a $900 million tariff cost hit in the June quarter attributed to U.S. tariffs on Chinese-made products.
  • The iPhone 17 base model will likely keep its $799 starting price since it mainly adds a new processor and selfie camera without major design changes.
  • The iPhone 17 Pro Max price may rise from $1,199 to approximately $1,249, with analysts noting the $50 bump may barely cover cost increases from tariffs and components.
  • Apple’s price adjustments suggest it aims to protect margins while managing tariff impacts, but demand may soften given the higher costs and new models’ pricing.
