Reports suggest Apple is preparing to unveil four iPhone 17 models this year: the standard iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Air, the iPhone 17 Pro, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. While the base model may see only minor design tweaks, the Pro and Pro Max versions are expected to sport larger camera modules, and the iPhone 17 Air is rumored to become the thinnest iPhone Apple has ever produced. In addition to the new iPhones, Apple is expected to introduce the Apple Watch Series 11, the third-generation Apple Watch SE, and the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
iPhone 17 Pro price:
The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro from Apple is anticipated to retail for $50 more than the iPhone 16 Pro, but it will come with at least 256GB of storage, which is twice as much as the base model from the previous year. The information was posted on Weibo by Chinese tipster Instant Digital. The account, which has 1.5 million followers, has made this claim three times in the last few weeks.
Reports indicate that a new 256GB base version could debut at $1,049 (around Rs. 91,735), replacing the $999 128GB model. Instead of being seen as a simple $50 increase, the change could be framed as offering customers greater value — delivering double the storage for a relatively small additional cost.
In the US, the standard iPhone 17, the rumored iPhone 17 Air (reportedly set to replace the Plus model), and the iPhone 17 Pro Max are all expected to receive comparable price adjustments.
iPhone 17 Pro specifications:
The iPhone 17 Pro lineup is set to undergo a notable design shift, replacing the traditional camera layout with a full-width horizontal camera bar.
Apple is expected to swap out titanium for aluminum in these models while retaining last year’s dimensions — 6.3 inches for the iPhone 17 Pro and 6.9 inches for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Both phones will run on the new A19 Pro processor, delivering top-tier performance without any downgrades.
Camera upgrades are also on the way, with a 24MP front-facing camera and a 48MP telephoto lens joining the existing 48MP main and ultra-wide sensors. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will reportedly gain a larger battery for longer runtime, while both models will feature a more scratch-resistant, anti-glare display. Color choices are expected to include four finishes: orange, dark blue, silver, and black.
