Apple has raised prices across both new and old i Phones

The i Phone 18 Pro and Pro Max models are all pricer than their predecessors

The i Phone 16, i Phone 17, i Phone Air and i Phone 17e have also gone up

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

As expected, the i Phone 18 Pro series have all arrived with a slight premium over their now-discontinued i Phone 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

Slightly more surprising were the price rises across the older i Phone models that Apple still sells. The i Phone 16 (now only available in a single 128GB version), i Phone 17, i Phone Air and i Phone 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, i Pad, Home Pod and Apple TV ranges — and while these i Phone ones aren't quite as bad in percentage terms, they are similarly unwelcome.

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

Mac Book price rises could be far worse than i Phone 18 Pro, analysts predict

Apple's new products nearly dodged price hikes — but its old i Phones weren't so lucky

If you're in the market for a high-capacity i Phone 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

For example, the i Phone 18 Pro (1TB), which is traditionally a sweet spot in the range, is 17% more expensive (or 15% if you're in Australia) than the equivalent i Phone 17 Pro model.

But the worst-hit is the i Phone 18 Pro Max (2TB), which has gone up by

It wasn't just Apple's new i Phones that saw their prices heading in the wrong direction today — all of its older models that you can buy from the Apple Store also got a little bit more expensive.

Will i Phone 17 prices drop when the i Phone 18 arrives? The answer is complicated

The two-year-old i Phone 16 is now hard to recommend given it's now 14% pricier in the US and UK following its

Both versions of the i Phone 17e and i Phone 17 have been given

But like the new i Phone 18 Pro, problems arise when you venture into the higher-capacity versions of the i Phone Air. Its 1TB model has gone up by

As we've argued elsewhere, Apple's pricing across the Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Air Pods 5 wasn't quite as bad as we'd feared, given the context of those massive rises earlier this year across Macs, i Pads and more.

But the i Phone news was certainly less positive, particularly those rises on existing models, which is an unusual step for Apple. It's particularly biting if you prefer higher-capacity models, which have been hit the hardest.
