iPhone 17 Pro Will Reportedly Get Higher Price Tag, But Also More Storage

The price of an iPhone Pro has been $999 since 2019, but a new leak appears to corroborate what has been rumored before -- that the price is going up. The iPhone 17 Pro, set to launch in September, reportedly will be priced $50 more at $1,050 in the US before taxes, according to Chinese leaker Instant Digital. The model will also reportedly get a storage boost from the Pro's usual 128GB to 256GB. For context, if you were to bump up to 256GB on the iPhone 16 Pro, that would cost you $100 and bri

A bump in iPhone storage is coming, but Apple already made it irrelevant to me

We were already expecting higher iPhone prices this year, but it now seems that one of the four models will get a bump in storage in return. That’s always welcome, of course, but a move Apple made two years ago already made it irrelevant to me … iPhone 17 Pro storage bump With Apple facing import tariffs on iPhones manufactured in China, it had always seemed likely that it was going to pass on at least some of these costs to iPhone buyers. My own guess back in May was a $50 price raise, and a

New iPhone 17 Air video reveals beautiful Sky Blue dummy model

Is your iPhone alarm not going off? 6 potential fixes that worked for me

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I started noticing something very annoying at the beginning of the year: I'd set my iPhone alarm for 7 a.m., only to sleep right through it. At first I assumed it was my mistake -- maybe I'd accidentally left the ringer volume all the way down. But after double-checking that, even switching off vibrate and cranking the volume all the way up overnight, the problem persisted. Somewhere between frustration and desperation, I installed a third-party alarm app to try an

The iPhone 17 Needs Amazing Cameras. Here's What I Think Apple Should Do

The iPhone 16 Pro already packs one of the best camera setups found on any phone, but the iPhone 17 needs to take things even further when it launches in just a few weeks. Sure, Apple's phones are capable of taking stunning photos, thanks to its awesome software, ProRaw format and its wealth of video skills, but Apple's rivals have been doing big things, too. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, the Pixel 9 Pro and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra all pack amazing camera setups that have given the iPhone 16 Pro a run for i

This iOS 26 Feature Lets You Stop iPhone Spam Calls In a Few Easy Steps

Apple released the second public beta of iOS 26 on Aug. 7.

Apple’s AI Ambitions Leave Big Questions Over Its Climate Goals

Here’s a simple question: Is the current top iPhone better for the environment than the top iPhone was five years ago? Let’s take the iPhone Pro series. If we’re looking at recycled and renewable materials, it’s an easy yes.

Your iPhone and iPad's operating systems are getting big upgrades this fall with the release of iOS 26 and iPadOS 26.
