In the days leading up to the introduction of the new generation of economic iPhones, the market’s attention has been drawn to the iPhone 17e; A model that is supposed to continue the path of affordable Apple iPhones. According to previous trends, this phone is also expected to be introduced at the same time as other members of the iPhone 17 family or with a short interval. Although global pricing policies seem clear, the Iranian market once again complicates the equation. In this article, we first take a look at the global price of the iPhone 17e and then based on the current price of the iPhone 16e, the market conditions and the experience of the past years, we check the possible price of this model in Iran.
Global price of iPhone 17e
According to the published information, the iPhone 16e was launched with a base price of $599, and reports indicate that no price increase is planned for the iPhone 17e in the global market. This issue is evaluated in line with Apple’s general policy to maintain the price of economic models and prevent the drop in demand.
Simply put, Apple plans to keep the iPhone 17e in exactly the same price range as the previous generation; Even in a situation where the cost of parts and production at the global level is accompanied by pressures.
| Model | Global price |
| iPhone 16e | $599 |
| iPhone 17e | $599 (no change expected) |
This price stability, in the official markets of the world, usually means the soft replacement of the new generation with the previous generation; But this rule is not always true in Iran.
The price of iPhone 17e in the Iranian market
Currently, the iPhone 16e is traded in the Iranian market at a price of around 120 to 150 million tomans. This price range shows a significant difference between the global price and the reality of the domestic market; A difference that is formed under the influence of factors such as exchange rate, import cost, registry restrictions and of course the price bubble.
Given that:
- The global price of the iPhone 17e will not change.
- iPhone 16e has not yet reached full price stability.
- And the Iranian market is always faced with excitement and increasing demand at the beginning of the supply.
It can be predicted that the iPhone 17e will be released at a higher price than the 16e model in the first weeks of entering the Iranian market; Even without global price increases. Therefore, the possible price estimate will be as follows.
- Start of supply: About 150 to 180 million tomans
- After the initial bubble subsides: Close to the range of 130 to 160 million tomans
The important point here is that in the Iranian market, global price stability does not necessarily mean domestic price stability. Even if the iPhone 17e does not increase in dollar terms, domestic economic fluctuations can significantly change the final price.
summary
The iPhone 17e will be one of the most stable iPhones in recent years. The model that is available at a price of 599 dollars and continues Apple’s economic path. However, the Iranian market is still going its way. Based on the current price of the iPhone 16e and the experience of the previous generations, it can be said that the iPhone 17e will face a significant price bubble at the beginning of its arrival, and only with the passage of time will it have the chance to reach a more reasonable price. For Iranian buyers, patience is still the most key factor to avoid paying emotional costs in the iPhone market.
