Apple is likely to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup in the coming month, and anticipation continues to build as we await a formal reveal. Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 lineup is anticipated to feature four distinct models: the standard iPhone 17, a new iPhone 17 Air, the iPhone 17 Pro, and the top-tier iPhone 17 Pro Max. Alongside enhancements to the processors, this generation introduces refreshed naming conventions and revised pricing — which appears to be on the rise. In addition to its next-generation iPhone, Apple may also debut three new smartwatches — the Apple Watch SE 3, Apple Watch Series 11, and Apple Watch Ultra 3. Speculation is also swirling around the possible introduction of the AirPods Pro 3.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max launch date:
According to the leak, telecom providers in Germany have reportedly been informed of the launch date, lending weight to the claim. While Apple has not formally announced anything yet, the suggested timeline matches earlier projections by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who expected the unveiling to take place between September 8 and 10.
Should this report prove to be true, pre-orders for the iPhone 17 series are likely to open on Friday, September 12. Retail availability and deliveries are expected to follow a week later, beginning on September 19.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max price:
The entry-level iPhone 17 is expected to maintain the same starting price as its predecessor, the iPhone 16, at around $799 in the United States. However, the other models — iPhone 17 Air, Pro, and Pro Max — are likely to see a $50 increase, which translates to approximately Rs 4,000 more in India. This price adjustment is believed to reflect the cost of upgraded components such as improved chipsets, enhanced displays, and premium materials, as well as inflationary pressures Apple hasn’t factored into pricing for several years.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max major specifications:
Apple is also anticipated to launch its third-generation AirPods Pro and the latest additions to the Apple Watch lineup alongside the iPhone 17 series. According to leaks, the regular iPhone 17 models will likely be powered by the new A19 chip, while the Pro variants are expected to feature the more advanced A19 Pro processor. In terms of display sizes, both the standard iPhone 17 and the Pro model may sport 6.3-inch screens. The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to come with a 6.5-inch display, and the top-end iPhone 17 Pro Max could boast a larger 6.9-inch screen.
