Overview

  • Apple’s Awe Dropping event is confirmed for September 9 at 10 AM PT, with a free livestream on Apple.com, YouTube and the Apple TV app.
  • Reports converge on four models—iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max—including a roughly 5.5mm‑thin Air expected to trade a smaller battery and single rear camera for its slim profile.
  • Pro variants are widely tipped to adopt the A19 Pro chip on TSMC’s 3nm process with 12GB of RAM, new anti‑reflective glass and a vapour‑chamber cooling system for sustained performance.
  • Camera leaks point to a Pro‑only triple 48MP rear setup with a 48MP telephoto offering up to 8x optical zoom, a 24MP front camera, and potential 8K and dual‑video recording.
  • Pricing chatter suggests the base iPhone 17 near $799 in the US with higher tags for Pro models—rising in India and the UAE as well—though figures remain provisional ahead of Apple’s announcement.
