Apple raises prices by $100 on all remaining older iPhone models after iPhone Duo and 18 Pro launch

Apple raised the price of every older iPhone still in its store by $100, effective immediately after its product event. The iPhone 16 moved from $699 to $799, the iPhone 17E from $599 to $699, the iPhone 17 from $799 to $899, and the iPhone Air from $999 to $1,099. This is a uniform increase rather than a selective one, hitting the entire remaining lineup from the cheapest to the most expensive legacy model.

The event introduced the iPhone Duo and the iPhone 18 Pro, but a base iPhone 18 was absent. That means the most affordable current-generation iPhone is the iPhone 18 Pro at $1,199. Anyone who needed a lower-cost new device now has no current-generation option below that price, and the previous-generation devices that would have filled that gap are all $100 more expensive than they were the day before.

Only one feed is carrying this story, so there is no independent corroboration of the specific price figures or the scope of the increase. The detail provided is consistent across the headline and the article body, but the absence of a second source means the numbers should be treated as single-source reporting for now. The material does not indicate whether the price changes apply globally or only in the US market.

For teams that buy iPhones for testing, development, or enterprise deployment, the practical effect is straightforward: every device in Apple's current catalog costs more than it did yesterday, and the cheapest available iPhone is now $699 instead of $599. There is no new budget-tier device replacing the old price points. The material does not mention any changes to storage configurations, trade-in values, or carrier subsidies that might offset the increase.
