Apple is gearing up to launch its highly anticipated iPhone 17 series soon, with a new addition making its debut—the iPhone 17 Air, which is set to replace the usual Plus variant. The upcoming lineup is expected to feature four models: the regular iPhone 17, the sleeker iPhone 17 Air, and the premium iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Apple is expected to debut its iPhone 17 series around mid-September 2025. While the official launch date remains unconfirmed, tech analyst David Phelan predicts the announcement will most likely take place on September 9.
iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max design:
The newest renders provide the most detailed look yet at the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, highlighting a shifted Apple logo and a reimagined MagSafe magnetic ring layout. Leaks suggest that the logo will be relocated—most likely centered within a new glass section—positioning it lower on the rear panel compared to earlier versions.
The iPhone 17 Pro lineup is also expected to feature an aluminum frame paired with a redesigned camera module, taking design cues from the iPad Pro. To support wireless charging, Apple is said to incorporate a glass panel within the aluminum housing, placed just below the camera setup.
iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max camera:
The iPhone 17 series is set to get a significant boost in selfie camera performance, with a new 24MP front-facing lens—twice the resolution of the 12MP sensor used in the iPhone 16 models. This upgrade was later confirmed by well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in January 2024.
Back in October 2024, analyst Jeff Pu also revealed that the iPhone 17 Pro would feature a redesigned rear camera layout, switching to a horizontal triple-lens arrangement. Among the upgrades is a 48MP telephoto camera offering 3.5x optical zoom.
iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max price:
Apple is expected to maintain its traditional pricing strategy for its standard iPhone lineup in 2025. According to early reports, the iPhone 17 could launch in India with a starting price of Rs 89,900, while the newly introduced iPhone 17 Air might debut at approximately Rs 99,900.
For those interested in higher-end models, the iPhone 17 Pro is anticipated to carry a price tag of Rs 1,39,900, and the flagship iPhone 17 Pro Max could be priced at Rs 1,64,900. However, some reports also suggest that prices could see a slight increase.
