Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 17 series at its “Awe Dropping” event on September 9. Ahead of the launch, fresh leaks have offered insights into the expected pricing across the entire lineup, which is likely to include four models — iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. While Apple has kept official details under wraps, a steady stream of reports over the past few months has suggested key upgrades, including faster processors, larger batteries, and improved camera systems, making the iPhone 17 series one of the most anticipated smartphone launches of the year.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max expected price:
According to TrendForce, Apple is likely to price the standard iPhone 17 at $799 (around Rs 70,500), while retaining the 128GB base storage. On the other hand, the Pro models are tipped to see a storage bump, but at steeper price points. The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to launch at $1,199 (approximately Rs 1.05 lakh), which is $200 higher than the starting price of the iPhone 16 Pro, though it doubles the base storage to 256GB. The top-end iPhone 17 Pro Max could begin at $1,299 (about Rs 1.14 lakh), further widening the gap between the standard and Pro line-ups.

On the camera front, the vanilla iPhone 17 is likely to retain the same setup as last year, with a 48MP primary lens accompanied by a 12MP ultrawide sensor. However, the Pro models are tipped to receive a significant camera upgrade. Apple is expected to replace the 12MP telephoto lens with a new 48MP sensor on both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, promising sharper zoom capabilities and improved image quality.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max performance:
The upcoming iPhone 17 lineup is expected to feature Apple’s next-generation A19 series processors. The standard iPhone 17 will reportedly run on the A19 chip, while the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max could be powered by the more advanced A19 Pro. Although official performance benchmarks are yet to be revealed, the new silicon is anticipated to deliver a moderate boost in speed and efficiency over its predecessor.
