After the release of the new iPhone 18 Pro models and Apple’s first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, the company has implemented a substantial price hike to the older models they are keeping on their line-up.
The iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 16 will be staying to join Apple’s official current line-up on their website. But due to the current memory crisis, these older models are getting a massive price hike of up to a whopping Php30,000. See the updated prices below:
