iPhone 17 prices in Indonesia have reached parity with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, with the 256 GB variant costing Rp20,499,000 as of October 1, 2026. This price point matches the entry-level iPhone 16 Pro Max 256 GB, according to reporting from SindoNews.
iPhone 15 and 16 prices drop by Rp1.5 million
Prices for the iPhone 15 128 GB, iPhone 15 256 GB, and iPhone 16 128 GB decreased by Rp1.5 million on October 1, 2026, according to Bisnis.com. The iPhone 15 128 GB now lists for Rp13,999,000, while the iPhone 16 128 GB is priced at Rp16,499,000.
SindoNews notes that these reductions do not fully offset a price surge that occurred three weeks prior. On September 12, 2026, the iPhone 15 128 GB was sold for Rp12,499,000 and the iPhone 16 128 GB for Rp14,999,000. By September 13, those prices jumped to Rp15,499,000 and Rp17,999,000, respectively. Consequently, consumers are still paying more than they would have in mid-September.

AI demand and DRAM costs drive price hikes
Apple increased the prices of the iPhone 16, 17, 17e, and iPhone Air in the U.S. following the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro, SindoNews reported. Former Apple CEO Tim Cook attributed memory shortages to the surge in artificial intelligence requirements, describing the situation as inevitable.
Supply chain pressures are also evident in component pricing. Apple reportedly agreed to Samsung DRAM prices for 2027 supply at approximately $2 per gigabit, an increase from the previous $1.5 per gigabit, according to SindoNews.
iBox opens registration for iPhone 18 Pro and Duo
The iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and the new iPhone Duo have entered the interest registration phase at iBox. While a formal Indonesian release date has not been announced, U.S. pricing starts for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. The iPhone Duo 2 TB reaches a specific price point, SindoNews reported.
