With the Google Pixel 10 series launched, the whole world now looks to Apple to release its next-generation iPhone. Expected to be called the iPhone 17 series, Apple is now expected to bring major upgrades to the iPhone in a bid to make it more competitive than similarly priced Android phones from brands like Google and Apple. The new series will consist of an iPhone 17, a new iPhone 17 Air, a more capable iPhone 17 Pro, and the maxed out iPhone 17 Pro Max.
iPhone 17 series launch date:
Apple is set to launch iPhone 17 series at an event planned for September 9, with pre-orders starting from September 12 (expected). With big upgrades rumoured to make the iPhone 17 models more tempting than ever, it is expected that consumers are going to want their hands on the latest models. The start of local production in India could also help with pulling down costs for Indian consumers, although US consumers may have to pay extra.

iPhone 17 expected launch date
According to several sources, Apple is expected to hold its main keynote event on September 9, where the new lineup—including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the rumored iPhone 17 Air—will be unveiled. Following the announcement, pre-orders are expected to begin on September 12. The first units will reach the stores by September 19, when Apple Stores worldwide are expected to open early to accommodate long queues.
iPhone 17 series expected price
While the base iPhone 17 is expected to maintain a starting price of around $799, the more advanced models are tipped for a price hike of at least $50. The new iPhone 17 Air, which is said to replace the Plus model with a 5.5mm slim body and a single rear camera, is rumoured to have a starting price of approximately $899, placing it between the base and Pro models.
The top-tier iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are anticipated to see their starting prices increase to around $1,049 and $1,249, respectively. These price adjustments are seen as a way for Apple to absorb increasing tariffs and higher manufacturing costs.
In India, though, prices could up even for the lower-end models. The standard iPhone 17 is rumored to start at a price point of around Rs 89,900, representing a notable jump from its predecessor. The all-new iPhone 17 Air is speculated to have a price tag of approximately Rs 99,990. For the premium models, the iPhone 17 Pro could start at around Rs 1,34,999, while the top-of-the-line iPhone 17 Pro Max is rumoured to be priced at Rs 1,64,990.
