(NewsNation) — Apple is considering price increases for its fall iPhone lineup, a report said.

The tech giant says the possibility of raising prices is being coupled with new features and design changes for devices.

Apple acknowledged its efforts at avoiding any scenario in which it appears to attribute price increases to U.S. tariffs on goods from China, where most Apple devices are assembled.

Current iPhone 16 models start at $799, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max costs $1,199 and up.

Apple recently said that most of its production would be in India, but seemingly only for lower-end models. Higher-end models will still be manufactured in China.
