Apple has slashed the prices of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max in China, introducing a $300 discount as part of a limited-time promotion. This marks the first significant official markdown for the series since launch. The timing of the reduction comes as the iPhone 17 lineup continues to perform exceptionally well in China, with strong sales momentum reported across all models, setting the stage for the full details that follow.
Price cut on the iPhone 17 Pro series
Following the $300 reduction, the iPhone 17 Pro is now listed at $599, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max is available at $699 through Apple’s official online channels in China until Dec. 14. This matches the promotional figures seen during earlier shopping festivals and is expected to remain the lowest official price for some time. However, certain third-party platforms continue to offer even lower subsidized deals during select campaigns.
The two devices were introduced in September with upgraded hardware, a redesigned horizontal camera layout, an integrated aluminum alloy frame and a significantly enhanced thermal solution that pairs a VC chamber with a large internal structure. Both models feature the A19 Pro chipset, a six-core CPU and six-core GPU arrangement, stronger durability through an improved ceramic shield back panel, and three 48-megapixel rear cameras supporting up to 8x optical zoom and 40x digital zoom.
iPhone 17 series selling like hot cakes
Demand for the iPhone 17 family has exceeded expectations, with early sales in China showing exceptional year-over-year growth. Reports tracking the first eleven weeks of availability show that the iPhone 17 Pro Max has already reached 58 percent of the previous generation’s 63-week sales.
The standard iPhone 17 has achieved 56 percent relative to its predecessor, while the iPhone 17 Pro has reached 35 percent. This surge has strengthened Apple’s market presence and helped push its forecasted 2025 global shipments upward, with analysts projecting record figures if the trend continues.
