Now is the BEST time to get an iPhone 17. Now is actually the best time to buy an iPhone 17, not the Pro, not the Max, just the base 17. Let me tell you why. So as we all know, RAM and storage are upon us because RAM and storage are in very short supply because AI data centers are keeping them from being in very short supply because AI data centers keep eating that shit up like there's no tomorrow. And because of that, basically every single tech product in existence has seen obscene price increases, including basically everything Apple makes. Except for the iPhone. The iPhone is the only Apple product category that hasn't seen a single price increase due to this whole RAM and storage crisis, unlike all the other Apple products. And because of that, basically every single tech product in existence has seen obscene price increases, including basically everything Apple makes. Except for the iPhone. The iPhone is the only Apple product category that hasn't seen a single price increase due to this whole RAM and storage crisis, unlike all the other Apple products. We're talking at least a couple hundred bucks across the board for the 18 Pro, the 18 Pro Max, and over $2,000 US dollars for the rumored iPhone Ultra, which is the foldable iPhone coming later this year. But what about the base iPhone 18? Well, that one's also going to be getting a price increase for sure, but it's actually not coming out until early next year because this September, we're not going to see any base iPhone 18s, only the Pros and the Ultra. So even after the iPhone 18 Pro and the Pro Max come out, the base iPhone 17 is still going to be the newest iPhone 17 at the time. And the prices for iPhone 17s right now are great. And the 17 itself is the best value model iPhone we've had literally like I think 70% of the iPhone 17 Pro experience for about 70% of the price. The iPhone 17 was an insanely good value phone when it came out and it's still going to be a really good value phone today, but you might want to pounce on it right now unless you want to wait for the RAM and storage prices to hit this thing as well. In a weird turn of events, now is probably the best time to buy the base iPhone 17 because this is still going to be the newest base model iPhone even into next year. And the prices for iPhone 17s right now are great. And the 17 itself is the best value model iPhone we've had literally like I think 95% of the iPhone 17 Pro experience for about 70% of the price. The iPhone 17 was an insanely good value phone when it came out and it's still going to be a really good value phone today, but you might want to pounce on it right now unless you want to wait for the RAM and storage prices to hit this thing as well.
