It has been rumored for weeks, but everything indicates that it will be official in less than a month, and that is, unlike other models, The iPhone 17 Pro will be more expensive That the previous year, what for many could be a problem, and would make them consider to go directly to another version.
It is true that, according to rumors, not only would it come with that higher price, but with an improvement in storage, leaving aside the 128 GB base, and Starting in 256 GBso it would not really be a greater cost, but an obligation to choose a model with more capacity.
iPhone 17 Pro with 256 GB and $ 50 more
The new iPhone 17 Pro It would bring a surprise, and although the price rises a bit, it comes with twice the base storage, which might make it seem even a good offer, although it would be worth practically 16 if we chose it like that.
According to recent leaks, Apple would eliminate the option of 128 GB and carry The direct base model to 256 GBwith prices that would start in some 1049 dollars In the US, compared to 999 dollars of the iPhone 16 pro of entry. Interestingly, that storage level already cost you more in the previous generation, so you would really be paying for the basic model, but obtaining more value.
In summary, yes, there is an increase in price (about $ 50), but if you value storage, this movement can be understood as a more tolerable adjustment, more gigas for a little more, although limiting people looking for something cheaper and over with that capacity.
In addition, Apple would go from four storage levels (128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB) to three (256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB), simplifying the choice, because the 2 TB are not expected, and the only thing they are looking for is that no one says “I do not have space in my iPhone, which badly for Apple.”
This change seems part of a trend, since with the iPhone 15 Pro Max Apple they had raised the minimum storage and the price, choosing to eliminate the lowest capabilities, and now they also do it with the PRO.
In short, the iPhone 17 will cost a little more, yes, but promises to compensate it with a space jump from the base model. An Apple's subtle play to justify the increase without seeking a hard blow to their pocket and forcing us to pay more for something that costs them much less.
And you, do you think it is logical, because more and more space is needed for videos, photos, apps, etc, or is an obligation by Apple and should leave it as it was last year? For my part it seems good to me, but the price would not have increased so much, since in Spain, for example, we can even go to about 70 or 80 euros extra, something that is not very funny when the cost of this terminal is already quite high. Leave us a comment with your opinion, and if you will finally buy it, or opt for something cheaper, or directly by the Pro Max, since the difference is reduced.
