Overview

  • A dummy-unit video and renders shared by tipster Majin Bu show the iPhone 17 Air measuring just 5.5 mm thick, making it the slimmest iPhone ever and debuting a very light blue marketing color.
  • Newly surfaced images of the iPhone 17 Pro models reveal a repositioned Apple logo lower on the rear panel and a redesigned MagSafe magnetic ring layout for improved charging alignment.
  • Corroborated reports indicate Apple will split chip production between the A18 processor for the standard iPhone 17 and Air models and the more powerful A19 Pro chip for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
  • All four iPhone 17 variants are expected to feature a 24 MP front-facing camera upgrade, with the Pro lineup also adding a 48 MP telephoto sensor capable of 3.5x optical zoom.
  • Entry-level pricing is forecast at roughly ₹79,900 in India, $899 in the U.S. and AED 3,799 in the UAE, with tech reporter David Phelan pointing to a likely September 9 unveiling.
