Apple Turkey Raises iPhone 17 and AirPods Prices Amid Lira Weakness Apple Turkey announced a significant price increase for its iPhone 17 lineup and AirPods models on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, citing the weakening Turkish Lira as the primary reason. The adjustments, which took effect on the same day, reflect the broader economic challenges posed by the currency’s depreciation. The flagship iPhone 17 Pro Max saw its price rise to 132,999 Turkish Lira (TL), up from 119,999 TL. This change aligns with the recent shift in the exchange rate, which moved from 41 TL to the U.S. dollar to a range of 45 TL, representing an approximate 10 percent decline in the value of the Turkish Lira. The price hikes affected the entire iPhone 17 product range, with the entry-level iPhone 17e increasing from 54,999 TL to 59,999 TL. The standard iPhone 17 model rose to 84,999 TL, up from its previous price of 77,999 TL. The iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro models also saw upward adjustments, with the former climbing to 119,999 TL from 97,999 TL and the latter reaching 119,999 TL from 107,999 TL. These changes underscore the impact of the lira’s weakening on imported electronics, as reported by local media outlets. In addition to smartphones, Apple Turkey also raised prices for its audio accessories. The AirPods 4 model increased by 1,000 TL, reaching 8,999 TL from 7,999 TL. The AirPods Pro 3 model saw a more substantial hike, moving from 13,999 TL to 15,499 TL. These adjustments have reduced the availability of lower-cost options for consumers, further tightening the market for Apple products in Turkey. The price revisions come amid a broader economic context marked by the Turkish Lira’s struggles.#iphone_17 #apple_turkey #turkish_lira #airpods_4 #airpods_pro_3
