Overview

  • Apple is on track to unveil its four-model iPhone 17 series between September 11 and 13, with pre-orders to follow immediately and sales expected to begin around September 19.
  • The lineup will run base and Air models on the A19 chipset and Pro variants on the A19 Pro, each supporting up to 12GB of RAM alongside potential in-house 5G modems and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.
  • All four phones are rumored to sport 120Hz ProMotion OLED displays, 24-megapixel front cameras and at least 48-megapixel main rear sensors, with Pro models offering triple-lens arrays and 8K video recording.
  • Design schematics leaked in late June confirm the Air’s ultra-thin 5.5 mm, 145 g form factor with a USB-C port retained under EU rules, a thicker 8.725 mm Pro Max chassis for a larger battery and a revised MagSafe magnet layout to showcase a lower-positioned Apple logo.
  • Early pricing tips place India launch prices from around ₹79,900 for the standard iPhone 17 up to ₹1,44,900 for the Pro Max, reflecting EU tariff impacts and supply-chain pressures that have influenced Apple’s design and pricing strategies.
