Apple Set to Unveil iPhone 17 Lineup Tuesday as Last-Minute Leak Teases 8x Zoom

Leaked specs point to A19 chips, 120Hz displays and major Pro camera changes, with pricing and a South Korean carrier memo still provisional.

Overview

  • Apple’s September 9 event is expected to introduce four models — iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max — with the Air positioned as a slimmer addition to the lineup.
  • The series is widely reported to move to A19 silicon across the range, with A19 Pro on the higher tiers, alongside ProMotion 120Hz OLED on non‑Pro models for the first time.
  • Pro variants are tipped for a camera overhaul featuring triple 48MP rear sensors, a new 48MP periscope/telephoto replacing the 12MP unit, a 24MP front camera and support for 8K video.
  • Leak-based pricing pegs the base iPhone 17 around $799 in the US, the 17 Pro near $1,199 and higher for the Pro Max, with India and UAE figures varying by model and subject to change.
  • A purported South Korean carrier document newly claims up to 8x zoom and vapor‑chamber cooling on the Pro phones, but these details remain unverified ahead of Apple’s announcement.
