Apple raises iPhone 17 price by 10% in Japan as yen stays weak

Apple has increased the starting price of the entry-level iPhone 17 model with 256 gigabytes of storage by 10% in Japan, setting the new price at ¥142,800 ($879.29) according to Apple's official website. This price adjustment comes amid the continued weakness of the Japanese yen, which affects the cost of imported goods like smartphones. The increase reflects Apple's strategy to adjust pricing based on currency fluctuations, impacting consumers who purchase devices in Japan. While the price hike aligns with broader economic trends, it may influence consumer demand and purchasing behavior in the region.
