The starting price of the basic iPhone 16 model is now $799, meaning the Cupertino company has maintained the same pricing trend as the previous line.

As reported by “NBN” with a link to the iTECHua material, a statement was made by Jong Wook Lee, a senior researcher at the Samsung Securities Research Center: prices for the iPhone 17 (likely to be released in September 2025) may increase significantly if compared with the 16th version of the device.
Based on Wook Lee’s words, the rise in price of “apple devices” will indicate not only a revision of Apple’s approach to financial policy, despite the stability of the cost of the iPhone 16, released in 2024 without price tag adjustments. The American corporation is preparing to release the iPhone 17 Air, which is considered an alternative to the iPhone 16 Plus, and this device will be somewhat less accessible to potential buyers – at least $300 more expensive (about $1,299), which is a significant jump.
According to the expert, if we base our calculations on the situation in figures, then due to the poor sales of the latest models (16 series), Apple management may decide to offer an updated and more expensive version of the “gadget” in order to increase the margin level from each smartphone sold.
