Apple recently announced the latest iPhone series, and even the budget options cost nearly twice as much as the original version. Though they also come with about 60 times as much storage. But if you want the highest tier, you’re going to have to shell out. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will retail for $1,999, making it Apple’s first $2,000 smartphone.
Why does Apple’s newest iPhone cost $2,000?
Answer: Because it has a lot of storage space.
When Apple released the first iPhone in 2007, it cost $499 and had 4 GB of storage. Or you could splurge for another 4 GB for an additional $100. Nearly two decades later, both the storage and the price have skyrocketed.

You’ll certainly get what you pay for (and you’d better at that price). It comes with 2 TB of storage, which is probably far more than the average user could ever hope to need. It also has Apple’s newest, most advanced chipset, the A19 Pro, and the best battery life of any iPhone to date. On the outside, it has a 6.9-inch OLED display, a triple 48MP rear camera configuration with 8x optical zoom and 40x digital zoom, and an 18MP selfie camera on the front.
