  • Apple has raised prices across both new and old iPhones
  • The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models are all pricer than their predecessors
  • The iPhone 16, iPhone 17, iPhone Air and iPhone 17e have also gone up

Apple announced a ton of new products at its iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro event today — but one thing it was noticeably quieter about were some price hikes across its entire iPhone range, including both new phones and old.

As expected, the iPhone 18 Pro series have all arrived with a slight premium over their now-discontinued iPhone 17 Pro predecessors. As you can see in the table below, the size of the increase varies depending on your choice of storage — but it goes up to a $300 / £300 / AU$500 for the 1TB version.

Slightly more surprising were the price rises across the older iPhone models that Apple still sells. The iPhone 16 (now only available in a single 128GB version), iPhone 17, iPhone Air and iPhone 17e are all more expensive than they were just last week.

Apple hasn't commented on the reason for the increases, but it's fair to assume that the components and RAM crisis are to blame. Back in June, Apple hiked prices across its Mac, iPad, HomePod and Apple TV ranges — and while these iPhone ones aren't quite as bad in percentage terms, they are similarly unwelcome.

Here's the full breakdown of every iPhone price rise that we've seen today...

New iPhone price hikes

If you're in the market for a high-capacity iPhone 18 Pro, today's price reveals make for particularly tricky reading.

While lower-capacity models in the Pro and Pro Max series have both risen by a $100 / £100 / AU$100, it's the 1TB and 2TB versions that have seen the biggest percentage increases.
