This year, Apple is expected to unveil four iPhone models — the top-tier iPhone 17 Pro Max, the premium iPhone 17 Pro, the sleek new entry-level iPhone 17 Air, and the standard iPhone 17. The market is ablaze with leaks and rumours as the official release of the iPhone 17 series approaches, which is now only three months away. This is creating excitement about possible design improvements, improved features, and improved hardware in Apple’s upcoming flagship lineup.
Anticipated Launch Schedule
The series is anticipated to be released in mid-September, probably around the second or third week, in accordance with Apple’s customary launch timetable. Sales are anticipated to start one to two weeks following the formal announcement, with pre-orders going live soon after.
Display Specifications for the iPhone 17, 17, Air, 17, Pro, and 17 Pro Max
The well-liked Spigen EZ Fit tempered glass screen protector for the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro was temporarily offered on Amazon India, according to a report by GSMArena. The item suggested that the 17 and 17 Pro would have 6.3-inch screens, similar to the iPhone 16 Pro; however, it was eventually taken down. Compared to the 6.12-inch screen on the normal iPhone 16, this would be substantially larger.
According to information recently uncovered in the iOS 26 Beta 2 release, renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had previously projected that the iPhone Air may have a 6.6-inch display with an estimated resolution of 1260 x 2740.
Improvements to the Camera
According to reports, Apple is working on a new 24MP front-facing camera for the series as a whole. Rumour has it that the Pro models will include an improved 48MP telephoto lens, while the primary and ultra-wide cameras will likely stay the same.
The highly discussed iPhone Air is also attracting notice for its incredibly thin design, which is said to be significantly thinner than any other model. It is claimed that the body thickness, excluding the camera module, is only 5 to 6 mm.
System Performance and Cooling
The forthcoming iPhone Pro and Pro Max are expected to feature vapour chamber cooling technology, according to a leak by tipster Majin Bu. This would signal a departure from the present heat management method of using graphite sheets.
If this cooling update is put into place, Apple will be on par with many Android smartphones that already make use of cutting-edge thermal solutions. According to reports, the modification was made in response to Apple’s next-generation A19 Pro chip’s increased demands, which are predicted to result in considerable heat generation during demanding AI processing and graphics-intensive operations.
Anticipated Costs in India
The cost of the iPhone 17 series in India this year may vary depending on a number of factors. According to preliminary estimates:
- ₹79,999 for the iPhone 17
- The iPhone 17 Air costs 89,999.
- The iPhone 17 Pro costs ₹1,39,900.
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: around ₹1,64,900
Due in major part to growing production and component costs, a modest price increase across the spectrum is anticipated
