introduction
The iPhone 17 is slated to launch later this year, seizing the mantle from Apple’s current iPhone 16 as its next-generation flagship. The iPhone 17 will headline a redesigned portfolio that includes the iPhone 17 Pro, Pro Max, and an all-new model, the iPhone 17 Air. Notably, Apple is anticipated to gradually discontinue the “Plus” model, signifying a minor but calculated change in the company’s approach to products. Although the iPhone 17 Air has a more streamlined, thinner form, it is not intended to be a direct replacement for the Plus model, which has been discontinued. It is a completely new addition to Apple’s iPhone lineup instead. Apple may raise the price of its next iPhone 17 series, according to a recent report from Counterpoint Research. Even though the corporation has maintained a fairly stable price in previous years, this tendency may alter as production expenses are expected to rise due to anticipated U.S. tariffs.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max price
Over the past three years, Apple has largely kept the beginning price of its entry-level iPhones constant. The regular iPhone 17 is anticipated to launch in India at approximately Rs 79,900 if this trend continues. Prices may increase when the new lineup is formally presented; thus, this number is only an early estimate and not an official confirmation.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max launch date
Over the previous few years, Apple has regularly released its new iPhones in early September, and the upcoming iPhone 17 series is probably going to follow suit. One version, the iPhone 17E, might, however, depart from the norm. According to a report by The Information and an analyst, its release might be delayed until early 2026.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max design and display
ProMotion display technology, which offers a 120Hz refresh rate for more fluid scrolling and improved video playback, is anticipated to be included in all four of the iPhones scheduled for release in 2025. Compared to prior years, when ProMotion was limited to the Pro models, this is a change. Apple’s alleged usage of LTPO OLED panels throughout the iPhone 17 lineup makes the upgrade possible. Although always-on display functionality is also supported by LTPO technology, it is unclear if this feature will be included in all models or if it will remain exclusive to the Pro versions.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max performance
Depending on whatever rumors turn out to be true, the iPhone 17 may either launch with a newer A19 chip or keep the A18 Bionic chip from the iPhone 16. It is anticipated that TSMC’s existing 3nm process technology will be used to manufacture both processors. Similar to its predecessor, the basic iPhone 17 is probably going to include 8GB of RAM, but the Pro models might get a boost to 12GB. The most recent operating system that Apple introduced at WWDC 2025, iOS 26, is anticipated to come pre-installed on all four iPhone 17 models.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max camera
According to reports, Apple is working on a new 24-megapixel front-facing camera with a six-element lens to take better selfies and produce higher-quality videos. A 48-megapixel telephoto lens, which would be a huge improvement over the present 12-megapixel sensor, may potentially be included in the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The all-new iPhone 17 Air is anticipated to have a single 48-megapixel back camera, while the ordinary iPhone 17 is anticipated to keep its current wide and ultra-wide cameras.
