Taking to Weibo, a credible analyst, Setsuna Digital, suggested that the iPhone 17 Pro is likely to start with 256GB of storage. In addition, the upcoming flagship device is likely to be priced $50 higher than iPhone 16 Pro.

When this year’s iPhone 17 Pro is released, one model might have extra storage for the first time. But there’s a sting in the tail.

The idea of the price rise was recently discussed by leaker Instant Digital on the Chinese social media site Weibo. There, Instant Digital said with some certainty that the iPhone 17 Pro would be $50 more expensive than the current iPhone 16 Pro, pushing its price to $1,049.
