Apple raises prices by $100 on remaining prior-generation iPhones after its event. The iPhone 16 jumps to $799, the iPhone 17 to $899, and models like the iPhone Air and 17E see matching hikes. This leaves buyers of lower-cost options paying more right after Apple launches the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro.

After unveiling the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro during its “Surprise and shine” event, Apple increased the price of all prior-generation models that remain on sale.

Apple lifts prices on remaining prior-generation models. According to tipster reports, the iPhone 16 that sold for $699 just last week has risen to $799. The iPhone 17E with 256GB of storage now carries a $699 tag instead of its original $599 launch price.
An affordable iPhone now requires a larger outlay than it did only a day earlier.

The iPhone 17 begins at $899 with 256GB of storage rather than $799. The iPhone Air has climbed to $1,099 from its previous $999 level.

The base iPhone 18 is absent from the fall event. Apple focused its September event on highest-end models that start at $1,199. The company did not introduce a base iPhone 18.
