Across the iPhone 17 lineup, iPhone Air, and iPhone 16 models, the increases go as high as 11.3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new pricing went live that same day on Apple\u2019s Japan store, and some of the sharpest increases landed on the higher-end models. The iPhone 17 Pro Max moved from <strong>194,800 yen<\/strong> to 214,800 yen, a 10.3% jump. iPhone Air went from 159,800 yen to 177,800 yen, which works out to 11.3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Apple <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%24AAPL&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$AAPL<\/a> raised the price of its iPhone in Japan \ud83c\uddef\ud83c\uddf5 by up to 11% &#8211; MacRumors <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tbOT0yXs69\">pic.twitter.com\/tbOT0yXs69<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Evan (@StockMKTNewz) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/StockMKTNewz\/status\/2078836396492566566?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 19, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Planning to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/apple-is-about-to-launch-its-highly-anticipated-iphone-17e-its-new-budget-phone\">buy a new iPhone in Japan<\/a>? Check the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/apple-is-raising-prices-tim-cook-now-confirms-memory-costs-are-to-blame\" rel=\"noopener\">latest prices<\/a><\/strong> before upgrading. You&#8217;ll now be paying quite a bit more, even though Apple has kept prices more stable in the US and in other markets we looked at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most likely explanation is the weaker yen against the <strong>US dollar<\/strong>, which pushes up Apple\u2019s local costs. That lines up with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/apples-2027-iphone-outlook-dims-higher-prices-and-slower-upgrades\">Apple CEO Tim Cook\u2019s warning from June 2026<\/a>, when he said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghacks.net\/2025\/04\/07\/analysts-predict-iphone-price-hikes-as-tariffs-impact-production-costs\/\">price increases were \u201cunavoidable\u201d because of manufacturing<\/a> and supply-chain pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it isn&#8217;t just iPhones. Apple has also raised prices on some <strong>Macs, iPads<\/strong>, and services such as <a href=\"https:\/\/icloud.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">iCloud+<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/free-apple-music-converter.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple Music<\/a>. Even so, this still doesn&#8217;t look like a broader global iPhone price hike, at least from the retailer pricing we checked in Spain, Australia, and Germany. In those markets, some iPhone 17 stock is actually being discounted by about 6% ahead of the expected iPhone 18 launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The revised prices are already <strong>live<\/strong> on Apple\u2019s Japan store.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"AppleTV+\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/8f7cb2d7-74e2-4492-af0c-06a1761742a1\/457874704\/apple-tv-plus-2019-03-28_12-07-17.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">AppleTV+<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apple-tv-plus.softonic.com\/mac\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DESCARGAR<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apple-tv-plus.softonic.com\/mac\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple bumped up iPhone prices in Japan on July 17, 2026, according to its Japan store.
