After Surprise and Shine, still-sold iPhone 16, 17, 17e, and Air each rose $100 in the U.S. Here is the new ladder next to Pro and Duo.
Apple did not refresh the standard iPhone this fall — but it did raise prices on the phones it still sells.
After Surprise and Shine, storefront checks by 9to5Mac, AppleInsider, and The Verge show a $100 U.S. bump on unchanged carryover models. That is a distinct money story from Pro storage surcharge details or Duo’s $1,999–$3,199 ladder.
AppleInsider notes iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max were discontinued when 18 Pro arrived. The Air is now only $100 below 18 Pro at the floor configuration — a tighter gap than last year’s thin-vs-Pro spread.
Shoppers skipping Pro or waiting for a spring standard iPhone are paying more for last year’s hardware with no new features. Apple has pointed to memory and component costs through 2026; outlets frame this as the same climate that lifted iPhone Trade-In values reshuffling after the event.
If you need a non-Pro phone before spring 2027, lock the post-hike ladder above before comparing carrier deals or trade-in math.
