Apple iPhone Series Launch in India Live Updates: Apple is just about to begin the much-anticipated launch event that could unravel the iPhone 17 series, new Apple Watch models, a new version of the AirPods Pro and possibly, an Apple Vision Pro 2. The event begins at 10:30PM IST and while you can catch al the updates directly from Apple’s livestream feed, you can also stay with us as we filter down all the updates from the event live. While we await Apple’s official announcement, leaks from analysts and tech insiders offer a preliminary look at the expected pricing of the iPhone 17 series in the US, UK, UAE, and India. In the US and UK, the pricing strategy appears to be a mix of stability and minor increases.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max: Prices in India, UAE and the US
The standard iPhone 17 is widely rumoured to retain its $799 price point, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max is also expected to hold steady at $1,199. The most notable price change is anticipated for the iPhone 17 Pro, which could see a $100 price hike to $1,099. This increase, however, is likely tied to the rumoured shift to a 256GB base storage option. The new iPhone 17 Air, which replaces the Plus model, is projected to be priced at $949, reflecting its premium design. In the UK, these prices would translate to an estimated £755 for the iPhone 17, £840 for the iPhone 17 Air, and £1,133 and £1,385 for the Pro and Pro Max respectively.
The pricing picture is somewhat different in India and the UAE, where local taxes and import duties play a significant role. The leaked prices for India suggest a starting point of approximately Rs 79,900 for the iPhone 17, with the new iPhone 17 Air coming in at around Rs 99,990. The flagship models are expected to be considerably more expensive, with the iPhone 17 Pro rumoured to cost around Rs 1,29,900 and the iPhone 17 Pro Max at Rs 1,59,900. In the UAE, the prices are anticipated to be AED 3,755 for the iPhone 17, AED 4,172 for the iPhone 17 Air, AED 5,633 for the iPhone 17 Pro, and AED 6,999 for the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Now, let’s check out all the live updates from the Apple event.
As part of the updated lineup, the new iPhone series is now expected to include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, alongside last year’s iPhone 16, iPhone 16e and iPhone 16 Plus. Rumours and leaks have hinted at a new A19 chipset, an updated camera system, a faster 120Hz refresh rate OLED display on the non-Pro models and so on – the list seems to be never-ending.
Apple Watch Series 11, Watch Ultra 3 and Watch SE 3 may also arrive today
The Apple Watch Series 11, Watch Ultra 3 and Watch SE 3 are expected to feature new chips and some possible new health tracking features. An updated AirPods Pro 3rd gen could integrate health tracking functions alongside delivering top-class audio quality. The rumours also paint a picture for a second-generation Apple Vision Pro. Note that new MacBooks and iPads are expected to be unveiled later in the year.
The Awe-dropping event begins at 10:30 PM IST and will be available as a livestream on Apple’s YouTube channel as well as other social media handles. You can also catch the event proceedings via the Apple TV app, which is now available on most modern smart TVs and Apple devices.
