  • Apple is set to livestream its “Awe Dropping” keynote on Tuesday at 10 a.m. PT, where reports point to four iPhone 17 models: the 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max.
  • The standard iPhone 17 is widely expected to move to a 6.3‑inch display with 120Hz ProMotion and a new A19 chip, plus a 24MP selfie camera, according to multiple outlets.
  • Pro models are rumored to adopt an aluminum‑glass back with a wide camera bar, an A19 Pro chip, a 48MP telephoto, brighter screens, and a larger Pro Max battery with 8K video a possibility.

  • Price estimates suggest the base iPhone 17 stays near $799 in the U.S., with higher tiers possibly increasing and India projections ranging roughly ₹89,900 to ₹1,64,900, while refreshed Apple Watch models and AirPods Pro 3 are also anticipated.
