Apple Raises iPhone 17 Prices in Japan by 10% Amid Yen Weakness

Apple increased prices for its iPhone 17 series and other key products in Japan by up to 10%, reflecting the prolonged yen depreciation. The price adjustments, limited to Japan, followed a trend of strengthening yen weakness that has driven upward pressure on imported goods. The company raised prices for the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro models, with the base model increasing from 129,800 yen to 142,800 yen (approximately $1.3 million), and the Pro model rising 8.3%. While Apple did not officially comment on the price hikes, analysts believe the move aligns with ongoing yen weakness impacting global pricing strategies.
