Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max Price Expected to be High
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to be a high-end device with a price tag to match, while the foldable iPhone is expected to launch in 2026 with a price tag of $1,800-$2,000, featuring a "crease-free display solution" from Samsung Display.
Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 series is expected to launch in September, with the iPhone 17 Pro Max price likely to be in the same range as previous high-end models, while the company is also working on a foldable iPhone expected to launch in 2026 with a price tag of $1,800-$2,000.
The iPhone 17 series will feature several new options, including new colors and designs. The base model will be available in six colors, including Black, White, Steel Gray, Green, Purple, and Light Blue. The iPhone 17 Air will come in four colors, with a slightly lighter blue option than the base model. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will be available in five colors, including a new Dark Blue option.
In addition to the new colors and designs, the iPhone 17 lineup is expected to feature several new features, including an A19 chip and 12GB of RAM for the Pro models. The iPhone 17 Air will be an ultra-thin model, replacing the iPhone 16 Plus, and will feature a larger screen and a new design for the rear camera.
Apple's decision to use Samsung Display's "crease-free display solution" for its foldable iPhone is seen as a pragmatic move, allowing the company to focus on other areas of innovation. The company has a history of leaning on Samsung for certain components, and this is not the first time the company has done so.
The launch of the iPhone 17 series is expected to take place the week after Labor Day, with a keynote likely to take place on September 8-12. Pre-orders are expected to open on Friday, September 12, with reviews likely to appear in the following week, around September 16-17. The iPhone 17 series is expected to go on sale on Friday, September 19.
