Recently, foreign media revealed the latest pricing for the Apple iPhone 17 series. Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 series will see a $50 price increase across all models except the standard version. This adjustment is believed to be closely related to recent tariff changes. Specifically, the standard version of the iPhone 17 maintains its $799 price tag (5,999 yuan in China), but features a 120Hz refresh rate display for the first time. Combined with the A19 chip, a larger battery, and new color options, it offers significant spec upgrades while maintaining its price point. The rear dual-camera setup still features a 48MP + 12MP sensor combination.
Notably, the iPhone 17 Air, which replaces the Plus series, debuts at $949 (approximately 6,999 yuan in China). Its ultra-thin 5.5mm body and 145g weight set a new record for Apple's thinness. Its 12GB RAM and 6.6-inch high-refresh rate display showcase its performance, but the 2900mAh battery and single-camera design may be a concern for users seeking a versatile experience. In contrast, the high-end iPhone 17 Pro, though priced at $1,049 (approximately 7,999 yuan in China), features the more powerful A19 Pro chip and a professional-grade triple-camera system, including a periscope telephoto lens, clearly targeting photography enthusiasts.
As the flagship of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, it sets a new benchmark at $1,249 (possibly priced below 9,999 yuan in China). Its massive 6.9-inch screen, 5,000mAh battery, and A19 Pro chip combine to elevate mobile gaming and video experiences to new heights. Analysts point out that this product line adjustment highlights Apple's precise market segmentation strategy: the standard model appeals to the mass market with a high refresh rate screen, the Air series targets the fashionable and portable crowd, and the two Pro models continue to solidify its technological leadership in the high-end market. With the new phone's release approaching, whether these specifications and pricing strategies will win consumer favor will be a key focus in the second half of the smartphone market.
