        "summary": "Apple is reportedly preparing to increase the price of its iPhone 17 series as early as this week, following similar hikes for MacBook and iPad models in June. The move comes amid a global memory chip shortage, even as the company gears up to launch the iPhone 18 series in September. The exact models affected and the scale of the increase remain unconfirmed.",
        "content": "<p>Apple is reportedly raising prices again after a similar policy was\napplied to MacBook and iPad models in June. This time, the iPhone 17 is\nsaid to be getting a price increase as early as Monday (10\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The information comes from leaker Fixed Focus Digital. However, the\nleaker could not confirm whether prices will actually change.<\/p>\n<p>It is also not yet known whether the price increase will apply to all\nmodels in the series or only certain variants, as reported by MacRumors\non Monday (10\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Using a reference exchange rate of Rp17,850 per US dollar as of 10\nAugust 2026, the iPhone 17 series prices are equivalent to approximately\nRp10,692,150 for the iPhone 17e priced at US$599, Rp14,262,150 for the\niPhone 17 at US$799, and Rp17,832,150 for the iPhone Air at US$999.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro variant is priced at US$1,099,\nequivalent to Rp19,617,150, and the top-end iPhone 17 Pro Max comes in\nat US$1,199, or around Rp21,402,150. It should be noted that these\nfigures are direct conversions and official prices in Indonesia are\nlikely to differ due to taxes, import duties and distribution costs.<\/p>\n<p>The same report also mentions that Apple has cancelled production\ncapacity increases for several lines, which were previously planned to\nrise from 15% to 30%.<\/p>\n<p>However, MacRumors notes it is unclear which components or products\nwill be affected.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Apple is said to be launching its new series in September.\nNext month, the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and its first foldable\niPhone are set to debut.<\/p>\n<p>The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e will only get their turn in\nspring 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next year, the iPhone 17 will remain Apple\u2019s primary\noffering. Only after that will the company have sufficient reason to\nadjust prices independently of its newest product line-up.<\/p>\n<p>Last June, Apple decided to raise the selling prices of MacBook and\niPad models. The decision was taken due to the global memory chip crisis\nthat has persisted throughout this year.<\/p>\n<p>The increase affected the MacBook Neo, which is currently the\ncheapest laptop in the range. Its price rose to US$699 from US$599.<\/p>\n<p>This increase signals that the world\u2019s most valuable consumer\nelectronics company has also been affected by the chip shortage. Apple\nis also the latest to raise prices compared with several manufacturers\nthat have already done so.<\/p>",
