When this year’s iPhone 17 Pro is released, one model might have extra storage for the first time. But there’s a sting in the tail.

The idea of the price rise was recently discussed by leaker Instant Digital on the Chinese social media site Weibo. There, Instant Digital said with some certainty that the iPhone 17 Pro would be $50 more expensive than the current iPhone 16 Pro, pushing its price to $1,049.

Apple could close the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max gap with a 256GB base model, but a price hike may be coming too. Here's what to expect.
