Which iPhone 17 models will cost more? Here's what to know

(NewsNation) — Your next iPhone could cost more, depending on which model you choose.

Apple's new iPhone 17 will start at $799, the company announced Tuesday. That's the same price the tech giant has charged for its entry-level iPhone since 2020, except the new base model will come with more storage (256GB).

However, Apple raised the price of its base iPhone 17 Pro, which will start at $1,099, up $100 from the iPhone 16 Pro. The new iPhone 17 Pro does come with more built-in storage (256GB) versus 128GB for last year's entry model, which has now been discontinued.

Apple also unveiled a new ultra-thin, ultra-light model called the iPhone Air, which will start at $999. It's the iPhone's first major new design since 2017, according to CNBC.

These are the starting prices for each new iPhone model, available on Sept. 19:

• iPhone 17: $799 (256GB)
• iPhone Air: $999 (256GB)
• iPhone 17 Pro: $1,099 (256GB)
• iPhone 17 Pro Max: $1,199 (256GB)

The new devices come with a host of upgrades, including a larger, 6.3-inch display and an improved front camera with a wider field of view and a new sensor, allowing users to take landscape photos without having to rotate their phone. They're also powered by a new A19 chip to handle Apple’s AI features.

Tuesday's iPhone announcement is the first since President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs in a push to bring manufacturing back from overseas. Trump has repeatedly called on Apple to make iPhones in America — a move that would drive up costs.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has tried to appease the president by pledging to invest $600 billion domestically over the next four years.

All the iPhone 17 models are still expected to be made in Apple’s manufacturing hubs in China and India, exposing them to some of Trump’s tariffs, the Associated Press reported.

Since 2020, Apple has charged $800 for its basic iPhone and $1,200 for its top offering. That's the same range today, except the base Pro model is more expensive. The company didn't give a specific reason for the price hike, but analysts believe the additional fees on iPhones coming into the U.S. have added to cost pressures.

Apple's price increase comes just weeks after Google held steady on prices for its new Pixel smartphones.

The iPhone 17 will be available in five colors: lavender, mist blue, black, white and sage.
