Apple Raises iPhone 16, 17 And Air Prices In Japan And The US
The July increase tracked the weak yen, but this one points to global memory and storage prices, which means Japanese buyers are no longer the only ones absorbing the higher bill.

Apple raised prices on the iPhone 16, 17, 17e and Air alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and the foldable iPhone Duo announcements, by 12,000 to 48,000 yen per model and capacity. Coming after a July domestic increase, cumulative rises reach 25,000 to 30,000 yen, and 65,000 yen on the 1TB iPhone Air. The same revision was applied in the United States.
The revision covered eight model and capacity combinations. The 256GB and 512GB iPhone 17 each rose 17,000 yen to 159,800 and 194,800 yen, and the iPhone 17e moved to 124,800 and 159,800 yen. The iPhone Air went to 189,800 yen at 256GB and 224,800 yen at 512GB, while its 1TB tier jumped 47,000 yen to 294,800 yen. The 128GB iPhone 16 is now 139,800 yen.
The iPhone 17 Pro series is absent from the list because it left the lineup when the iPhone 18 Pro was announced. The new Pro starts at 219,800 yen, the Pro Max at 239,800 yen, and the foldable iPhone Duo at 364,800 yen.
