The iPhone 17 lineup from Apple is anticipated to debut in September 2025, just under two months from now. In 2025, the refreshed range is likely to consist of four variants: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the all-new iPhone 17 Air. Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 series is expected to bring a major shakeup to the lineup. According to leaks, the company may be scrapping the iPhone 17 Plus entirely. Replacing the usual base, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max format, Apple is reportedly planning to introduce a new ultra-slim model called the iPhone 17 Air.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max colours and design:
According to well-known tipster @MajinBuOfficial, Apple is reportedly experimenting with two fresh colour options for its upcoming standard iPhone 17 models — Purple and Green. While no final decision has been made, internal sources indicate that Purple is currently the frontrunner and could potentially be selected as the signature colour for the base version. Green is also under consideration, though it remains uncertain whether both shades will be included or if Apple will settle on just one.
Although these colour updates primarily concern the standard variants, there are also whispers of a new Sky Blue finish being trialed for the iPhone 17 Pro models. As with the other colours, this isn’t officially confirmed yet, but it appears that Apple is actively exploring a broader colour palette for the entire iPhone 17 series.
Rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro models might shift from a titanium frame to a lightweight aluminum one. Additionally, the rear panel is expected to feature a refreshed design that combines both aluminum and glass elements for a new hybrid look.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max performance:
Apple is reportedly planning to equip the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models with an advanced vapor chamber cooling system. This setup may feature a sealed metallic plate made of copper, containing a small amount of liquid. As the device heats up, the liquid transforms into vapor, which then circulates inside the chamber to disperse the heat efficiently.
Thanks to this new thermal management technology, the iPhone’s processor will be able to handle more intensive tasks without compromising overall performance. It’s also expected to ensure smoother operation of the operating system while minimizing thermal throttling. If the leaks hold true, the combination of the A19 Pro chip and vapor chamber cooling could deliver a significant performance leap over the previous generation.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max India price:
Several elements are expected to influence the pricing structure of the iPhone 17 series this year. Based on early estimates, the standard iPhone 17 might start at Rs 79,999, while the all-new iPhone 17 Air could be introduced at Rs 89,999. The iPhone 17 Pro is likely to carry a price tag of Rs 1,39,900, and the top-tier Pro Max model may be priced around Rs 1,64,900. A slight price hike is anticipated across the board, primarily due to rising component and manufacturing costs.
