Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup is expected to debut between September 8 and 10, bringing significant enhancements in design, camera capabilities, and overall performance. We are expecting four total models in 2025: the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro, the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the new iPhone 17 “Air.” There will be no iPhone 17 Plus, with Apple doing away with the “Plus” lineup because it has not proven popular with customers. A new batch of images has surfaced online, hinting at noticeable design tweaks across the upcoming iPhone range—most notably, the introduction of a fresh “Desert Titanium” color variant. Here’s a look at the expected pricing, key specifications, and available color choices.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max price in India, Dubai and the USA:
The iPhone 17 lineup is likely to launch in India with a base price of approximately Rs 79,900. However, prices for both the regular and Pro models may climb higher due to shifting trade policies. The expected increase is linked to tariff changes introduced during the Trump era. With U.S.-China tensions escalating, the cost of producing iPhones in China has risen, potentially pushing up retail prices worldwide. In the United States, the entry-level iPhone 17 is anticipated to cost around $899, while in the UAE, the starting price is expected to be close to AED 3,799.
iPhone 17, iPhone Air, IPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max launch date:
According to recent leaks, Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series on September 8, 2025. Pre-orders may kick off on September 12, with retail availability likely starting the week after. Although Apple has yet to make an official announcement, these dates align with its usual launch timeline. In India, the devices are anticipated to be part of the initial release phase, thanks to Apple’s efforts to synchronize global availability.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max design:
Apple is rumored to offer the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max in four color options: Black, White, Dark Blue, and a unique orange-shaded “Desert Titanium.” This suggests the company may be exploring warmer, earth-inspired tones for its high-end models, adding a fresh aesthetic twist to its premium lineup. Speculation indicates that the iPhone 17 will feature a slightly larger 6.3-inch display, a step up from the previous 6.1-inch screen. This new size matches that of the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and is also expected to be used for the iPhone 17 Pro.
Apple is reportedly discontinuing the Plus variant altogether, meaning only a single, more affordable standard iPhone 17 will be available. As for screen dimensions across the range, the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro are expected to have 6.3-inch displays, the iPhone 17 Air may come with a 6.6-inch screen, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max is likely to feature a 6.9-inch display.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max camera:
When it comes to camera enhancements, Apple is reportedly developing a revamped 24-megapixel front camera featuring a six-element lens. The iPhone 17 Pro Max may also sport a significantly improved 48-megapixel telephoto lens, marking a substantial upgrade from the existing 12-megapixel version. Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 17 is expected to retain its current Wide and Ultra Wide lens setup. The iPhone 17 Air, on the other hand, is rumored to feature a single 48-megapixel rear camera.
