Overview

  • Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event is confirmed for Tuesday at 19:00 MESZ, with the iPhone 17 lineup expected alongside new Apple Watch models and possibly AirPods Pro 3.
  • Reporting points to a four‑phone family: iPhone 17, a very thin iPhone 17 Air expected to replace the Plus tier, and Pro and Pro Max versions.
  • The iPhone 17 Air is widely described at about 5.5 mm thick with trade‑offs such as a single rear camera, smaller battery, eSIM‑only configuration and a non‑Pro A19 chip.
  • The standard iPhone 17 is expected to gain a 120 Hz ProMotion display, while Pro models are tipped for a wider, full‑width rear camera module with upgraded 48‑MP sensors and possible 8K video, plus a shift to aluminum frames.
  • A leak attributed to ShrimpApplePro lists battery capacities at roughly 3,692 mAh (iPhone 17), 3,036 mAh (17 Air), 3,988 mAh (17 Pro) and 4,832 mAh (17 Pro Max), as accessory makers at IFA display cases that align with the rumored designs.
  • Price outlooks diverge, with TrendForce flagging potential increases up to $200 depending on model and JPMorgan projecting about $100 higher pricing only for the iPhone 17 Pro, while the base model is expected to hold steady.
