Overview

• Apple introduced four models — iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max — with the Air priced at $999 and measuring about 5.6 mm thin with a 6.5-inch display.
• The iPhone Air prioritizes portability with a single 48MP Fusion rear camera and an eSIM-only design that saves internal space to achieve its thin profile.
• iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max share the A19 Pro, N1 networking chip and C1X modem, add a horizontal camera island, and feature tougher Ceramic Shield 2 on both sides.
• The Pro Max distinguishes itself with a 6.9-inch display, up to 2TB storage and up to 39 hours of video playback, while the smaller Pro offers 6.3 inches, up to 1TB and up to 33 hours.
• Preorders begin September 12 with availability on September 19, as early coverage highlights a bold ‘cosmic orange’ Pro finish and new official wallpapers reflecting iOS 26’s Liquid Glass design.
