Apple is gearing up to introduce the iPhone 17 lineup at its launch event on September 9. The series will feature four models — iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. This year, the company is said to phase out the Plus edition, replacing it with the sleeker and lighter iPhone 17 Air. Pricing for most variants is likely to remain unchanged, though industry leaks indicate that the iPhone 17 Pro might get a bump in cost owing to an upgraded base storage option.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max Price In India, USA, UK, Dubai:
The upcoming iPhone 17 series is expected to come with varying price tags across regions. The iPhone 17 Pro may be priced at Rs 1,34,990 in India, AED 5,633 in Dubai, and $1,499 in the U.S. The iPhone 17 Pro Max could retail at Rs 1,64,990 in India, AED 6,999 in Dubai, and $2,300 in the U.S. Meanwhile, the new iPhone 17 Air is likely to be available at Rs 99,990 in India, AED 4,172 in Dubai, and $1,133 in the U.S. Lastly, the standard iPhone 17 is expected to cost Rs 89,990 in India, AED 3,755 in Dubai, and $899 in the U.S.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max camera:
The iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to share a major selfie camera upgrade, with a 24MP front sensor capable of offering 2x digital zoom while preserving image clarity. On the back, the iPhone 17 Air may remain limited to a single 48MP main camera, skipping features such as telephoto and ultra-wide lenses. The iPhone 17 Pro Max, however, is rumored to get a substantial boost to its telephoto camera, moving from 12MP in the previous generation to a new 48MP unit. If these leaks hold true, Apple’s top-end model would sport three 48MP rear cameras, creating its most advanced imaging system yet.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max design:
A major design shift in the iPhone 17 lineup comes with the introduction of the Air model, which replaces the previous iPhone 16 Plus. According to leaks, the iPhone 17 Air will feature an ultra-slim 5.5mm frame paired with a 6.6-inch OLED screen. It is also expected to carry forward both the Action Button and the Camera Control key. Unlike the other devices in the series, this model may sport a single rear lens mounted on a raised camera module, giving it a distinct look.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are tipped to maintain a familiar overall design but with one key change — a larger camera housing that spans across the upper section of the back panel. These premium models could also arrive in striking new finishes, including bold orange and deep blue. To further refine ergonomics, Apple is rumored to swap out titanium for aluminium, helping to reduce overall weight.
