It is less than a month to go for the rumoured new iPhone 17 models – at least that’s what the rumours are hinting at. Therefore, Apple is gearing up for the launch of the series. The launch event, according to insider leaks will be in early September. Apple is anticipated to introduce the iPhone 17 lineup with four distinct models. The range is likely to feature the standard iPhone 17, a thinner and more lightweight iPhone 17 Air, as well as the high-end iPhone 17 Pro and the flagship iPhone 17 Pro Max.
The iPhone 17 series is expected to be a landmark instalment for Apple’s smartphone stable, presenting possibly the last time that all of the major models will be launching together (the iPhone 18 series could have a different launch strategy). While the upgrades list is slated to be bigger for the iPhone 17 Pro models this year, a new Air variant is expected to replace the lacklustre Plus variant.
However, just ahead of the launch, there has been a rumour from a tipster who says the iPhone 17 Pro models, comprising Pro and Pro Max variants, will support reverse wireless charging for the first time. In theory, it might allow Apple users to charge peripherals such as their Apple Watch and AirPods via their smartphone itself. Moreover we have mentioned the features of the Pro Model below:
iPhone 17 Pro Processor
The iPhone 17 Pro model will remain the pinnacle of Apple’s lineup, featuring exclusive upgrades. The Pro model is expected to be powered by the more powerful A19 Pro chip, built on TSMC’s latest 3nm process. This smartphone will come with 12GB of RAM for more advanced Apple Intelligence features. The device is also rumoured to introduce a new, more durable chassis that combines aluminium and glass, replacing the current titanium frame.
iPhone 17 Pro Camera
On the camera front, the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to get a significant upgrade to a triple-lens system, in which all three lenses—Wide, Ultrawide, and Telephoto—are 48MP. This includes a new 48MP telephoto lens, a major leap from the current 12MP sensor. Exclusive features for the Pro model may also include a mechanical aperture for more professional-level depth of field control and support for 8K video recording on the Pro model.
iPhone 17 Pro Display
The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to get a major upgrade, adopting a long-awaited 120Hz ProMotion display that was already available in Rs. 20,000 Android devices. Its screen is rumoured to be a slightly larger 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display. In contrast, the iPhone 17 Pro will maintain a similar 6.3-inch screen size but with a more advanced variable refresh rate (1-120Hz) OLED panel, thus offering superior power efficiency. Additionally, the oleophobic coating of the display is said to prevent fingerprint smudges.
iPhone 17 Pro Price
Rumours suggest the iPhone 17 Pro could start around $1,050, which translates to around Rs. 92,000.
Conclusion
The iPhone 17 Pro is the top choice for the pro-level user, mobile photographer, or performance enthusiast. The advanced A19 Pro chip, superior camera system with a 48MP telephoto lens, and future-proofed hardware justify the expected price premium.
