Even though the next major iPhone release from Apple is still a few months away, early leaks about the iPhone 17 lineup have already given us a good idea of what might be coming. The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17, iPhone Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max are anticipated to be included in the next lineup. Preliminary reports and leaks indicate that all models will have major improvements, such as better screens, more sophisticated camera systems, updated looks, and new features.
Although the official launch date has not yet been confirmed by Apple, tech analyst David Phelan expects the announcement will most likely happen in September.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max launch date:
In his recent weekly newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman revealed that Apple is likely to schedule its upcoming launch event during the week of September 8. For major product unveilings, the company has historically avoided Fridays and tended to choose Tuesdays. Gurman says Tuesday, September 9, or Wednesday, September 10, are the more likely dates, though Monday, September 8, might be taken into consideration. As a gesture of respect, Apple has historically avoided holding events on September 11.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max launch India price:
In 2025, Apple is anticipated to stick to its current pricing strategy for the entry-level iPhone models. Early leaks suggest that the iPhone 17 may start at Rs 89,900 when it launches in India, while the recently released iPhone 17 Air may cost about Rs 99,900. The flagship iPhone 17 Pro Max may retail for around Rs 1,64,900, while the more expensive iPhone 17 Pro is expected to cost Rs 1,39,900.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max camera:
According to rumours, the iPhone 17 Pro will introduce a stunning new design element—a horizontal camera bar that extends across the back panel. This design element was inspired by Google’s Pixel lineup but was polished with Apple’s distinctively simple and clean style. While some leaks suggest the company may continue to use its conventional vertically stacked layout, others suggest a pill-shaped module for the camera lenses.
It is anticipated that the selfie camera on the front will receive a significant upgrade, going from a 12MP sensor to a sharper 24MP one. Three upgraded 48MP sensors—for the wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses—are reportedly part of the rear camera setup, which represents a significant improvement in both photo and video capabilities.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro design:
According to reports, Apple intends to bring back aluminium frames for the Pro and Pro Max models as well as the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup. This is a change from the company’s recent strategy of using stainless steel or, more recently, titanium in high-end models like the iPhone 15 Pro and limiting aluminium to entry-level models like the iPhone SE and iPhone 16. The change implies a move towards a more cohesive design language, which may be intended to lighten the weight of the devices and provide a unified look across the range.
