Apple seems to be preparing a significant enhancement to its MagSafe charging lineup in anticipation of the iPhone 17 series launch. According to a recent regulatory filing, the company is developing two new MagSafe chargers that may offer much faster wireless charging capabilities—potentially delivering speeds of up to 50W. As reported by 91mobiles.com, the regulatory documents mention two upcoming MagSafe charger variants—model numbers A3503 and A3502—both compatible with the advanced Qi 2.2 wireless charging standard. These chargers retain Apple’s signature white puck design and come with braided cables, available in 2-meter and 1-meter options, respectively.
Apple is gearing up to introduce its next-generation iPhone 17 series this September, which will likely include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. This year, the company is also expected to debut a brand-new variant—iPhone 17 Air—tipped to be the slimmest iPhone ever, showcasing major design refinements.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max design:
Design-wise, the standard iPhone 17 may retain a similar appearance to the iPhone 16, continuing features like the USB-C port and Action Button. However, the Pro variants are expected to adopt a refreshed aesthetic, featuring a sleek rectangular camera layout that spans the back and more rounded edges for a smoother look. Additionally, Apple is rumored to introduce a new model called the iPhone 17 Air, possibly replacing the Plus version. This device is anticipated to be among the slimmest iPhones ever, reportedly around 2mm thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max chipset:
Some reports suggest that Apple may introduce internal upgrades, particularly in the Pro lineup. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is rumored to feature enhanced thermal management, potentially incorporating a new vapor chamber cooling system along with graphite layers to better handle heat during intensive tasks. In terms of performance, the Pro variants are likely to be equipped with Apple’s upcoming A19 Pro chip, while the regular iPhone 17 may continue using last year’s A18 processor. Memory is also expected to see a boost, with the Pro Max possibly offering up to 12GB of RAM and the standard versions topping out at 8GB.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max camera:
Rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro may undergo a major overhaul in its camera design. Leaks hint at a striking horizontal camera bar stretching across the rear, reminiscent of the Pixel series but refined with Apple’s distinct styling. While some images show a pill-shaped housing, other sources indicate Apple might retain its current tiered lens layout. On the front, the selfie camera is rumored to get a notable upgrade—from 12MP to 24MP. At the rear, all three cameras—the primary, ultra-wide, and telephoto—are expected to feature 48MP sensors, signaling a significant leap in overall image quality.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max price:
Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 lineup is expected to debut with a higher price tag. In India, the entry-level iPhone 17 may be priced around RS 89,900, while in the U.S., it could start at $899. In Dubai, the base model is likely to cost roughly AED 3,799. Meanwhile, the top-tier iPhone 17 Pro Max could surpass $2,300 in some global markets due to additional import duties and local taxation policies.
