Apple raised official iPhone prices in Japan on the 17th, citing yen weakness
and a surge in semiconductor costs. Multiple models were repriced on Apple’s
Japan website; the high-end iPhone 17 Pro Max was increased from ¥194,800 to
¥214,800, a ¥20,000 rise (about 834.6 yuan), roughly +10.3%. Analysts said the
change likely reflects exchange-rate-driven price adjustments.
