After raising the prices of all Macs and iPads worldwide last month, Apple has now increased the price of iPhone models in Japan.
As spotted by the Spanish blog iPhonerosThe iPhone 16, iPhone 17e, iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max all received price increases on Apple’s online store in Japan today. Prices increased by up to 11%.
| Model | Previous price | New price | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 17 Pro Max | ¥194,800 | ¥214,800 | 10.3% |
| iPhone 17 Pro | ¥179,800 | ¥194,800 | 8.3% |
| iPhoneAir | ¥159,800 | ¥177,800 | 11.3% |
| iPhone17 | ¥129,800 | ¥142,800 | 10% |
| iPhone 17e | ¥99,800 | ¥107,800 | 8% |
| iPhone16 | ¥114,800 | ¥124,800 | 8.7% |
Apple attributed price increases for Macs and iPads last month to the ongoing memory chip shortage, which has driven up chip prices. In this case, however, the increases are likely due to the depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar over the past year.
Apple didn’t raise iPhone prices today in the US or any other countries we checked.
Apple today also raised prices for iCloud+ and Apple Music plans in many countries, including Japan, so price increases are a theme this Friday.
