Overview

• Industry leaks from Bloomberg, 9to5Mac and other outlets indicate Apple will introduce the iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max between September 8–10, open preorders around September 12 and begin retail sales by September 19.
• All four models are reported to adopt 120 Hz OLED displays and upgraded 24 MP TrueDepth front cameras, while the Pro variants add 12 GB of RAM, triple 48 MP rear lenses and vapour-chamber cooling for sustained performance.
• The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to run Apple’s new A19 Pro chipset on TSMC’s 3 nm process, boost battery capacity to roughly 5,000 mAh and upgrade its telephoto module for sharper zoom.
• Rising U.S.–China tariffs and forthcoming EU USB-C mandates are cited for pushing the base price to about ₹79,900 in India and prompting a universal port redesign.
• Apple’s new iPhone 17 Air is slated to deliver a premium mid-tier option with an ultra-slim 5.5 mm aluminium frame, a 6.6-inch ProMotion display and an A19 chip with 8 GB of RAM.
