Apple is preparing for one of the most eagerly awaited tech unveilings of the year—the official debut of its upcoming iPhone 17 series, which is likely to be held in September 2025. According to industry insiders, the new lineup is expected to feature multiple models, including the standard iPhone 17, a redesigned iPhone 17 Air (replacing the Plus model), as well as the high-end iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Apple’s upcoming iPhone generation is anticipated to launch with significant hardware enhancements, one of which includes a smoother 120Hz OLED screen for an improved visual experience. Additionally, the device is likely to ship with the latest iOS 26 pre-installed, offering users the newest features and software improvements right out of the box.
iPhone 17 launch date:
Although Apple has yet to officially announce the launch date, industry reports and insights from tech analyst David Phelan indicate that the iPhone 17 lineup is likely to be unveiled around September 9, 2025.
iPhone 17 price:
While Apple typically sticks to a consistent pricing pattern, the exact cost of the upcoming iPhone 17 remains uncertain. Both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 debuted with a starting price of $799 (approximately Rs 68,300) for the 128GB base variant. In India, recent iPhone models have also followed a steady launch price of Rs 79,990, suggesting Apple may continue this trend with the iPhone 17—but nothing is confirmed yet.
iPhone 17 performance:
According to various leaks, the iPhone 17 may either retain the A18 Bionic processor used in the iPhone 16 series or debut with Apple’s next-gen A19 chip. Both chips are expected to be built using TSMC’s advanced 3nm fabrication technology, ensuring better efficiency and performance. In terms of memory, the standard iPhone 17 is likely to continue offering 8GB of RAM, while the higher-end Pro versions could see an upgrade to 12GB for enhanced multitasking and AI-driven features.
iPhone 17 camera:
One standout feature across the entire iPhone 17 lineup is the upgraded 24MP front-facing camera, doubling the resolution of the 12MP lens found in the iPhone 16 series. This enhancement promises crisper selfies, better clarity during video calls, and greater flexibility for cropping images without compromising detail or sharpness.
iPhone 17 design:
Several leaked design renders of the alleged iPhone 17 have surfaced online, indicating that Apple may stick to a familiar design for the regular iPhone 17 variant. However, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to showcase a refreshed rear camera module, hinting at more noticeable changes in the premium models.
