Apple has increased prices on several older mobile models in its Norwegian online store, coinciding with the launch of new devices like the iPhone 18 Pro and the foldable iPhone Duo, according to pricing data tracked by Tek.no. Standard models including the iPhone 16, iPhone 17e, and iPhone 17 have risen by 500 kroner each in Norway, reflecting increases between 4.2 and 5.6 percent.

## New Start Prices Across the Apple Lineup in Norway

According to Tek.no, baseline pricing for retained older hardware has shifted upwards in the official Apple store. The iPhone 16 now starts at 10,990 kroner, marking a 4.8 percent increase. The iPhone 17e climbs to 9,490 kroner, a 5.6 percent jump, while the standard iPhone 17 moves to 12,490 kroner, representing a 4.2 percent rise.

Meanwhile, models like the iPhone Air hold steady at a start price of 14,990 kroner, and the newly introduced iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max match the introductory price points of their predecessors at 15,990 kroner and 17,990 kroner respectively, based on Tek.no’s catalog review. Discontinued models like the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are no longer sold directly by Apple.

> ### Did You Know?
> While Apple’s official online store has adjusted prices upward, third-party Norwegian electronics retailers such as Elkjøp and Power have kept the older pricing intact, with some outlets offering devices below standard manufacturer rates, according to Tek.no.

## Premium Storage Tiers Drive Larger Price Jumps

Beyond baseline costs, upgrading storage capacity incurs significantly steeper price increases for buyers choosing higher tiers, according to Tek.no’s pricing analysis. The iPhone Air configured with 1 TB of storage costs 23,490 kroner, up 2,500 kroner or 11.9 percent from previous pricing.

The iPhone 18 Pro with 1 TB is priced at 24,490 kroner, which is 11.4 percent higher than the equivalent iPhone 17 Pro tier. For users eyeing maximum capacity, the iPhone 18 Pro Max with 2 TB reaches 34,490 kroner—a 4,500-renter or 15 percent surge compared to the highest tier of the previous generation, as reported by Tek.no.

## Global Price Adjustments in the United States and India

Price hikes extend far beyond the Norwegian market, driven by rising costs for memory and storage components amid heavy demand from artificial intelligence data centers, as noted by Mashable and Reuters.

In the United States, all Apple-sold iPhone models have increased by 100 dollars (approximately 930 kroner), returning the iPhone 16 to its 2024 launch price and pushing newer variants past previous thresholds, according to Mashable. In India, Reuters reports that price spikes reach up to 41 percent. The iPhone Air with 1 TB climbed to 224,900 rupi (roughly 21,880 kroner) in India, driven by local import duties on components and an 18 percent tax rate, despite the country functioning as a primary manufacturing hub for Apple.

Pro Tip: Check Third-Party Retailers Before Buying

If you are planning to purchase an iPhone 16, 17e, or 17, check inventory at major electronics chains outside of Apple’s direct storefront. Sourced market checks show that independent retailers frequently maintain legacy pricing or offer promotional discounts not reflected in official manufacturer updates.
