iPhone 17 Series – Launch Date (Expected)

Apple usually unveils its new iPhones in September, and the iPhone 17 Series is expected to follow the same timeline.

iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air – Design (Rumoured)

According to multiple sources, this year Apple will be releasing a new slim iPhone expected to be named iPhone 17 Air. The phone is likely to be around 2mm slimmer than the iPhone 16 Pro, making it one of the slimmest iPhones to date.

The brand might also introduce a fresh design at the back with a new horizontal camera bar. This new bar will likely stretch across the width of the phone for other iPhone models. If true, this would mean a different design compared to the pill-shaped dual-camera setup.

Phone 17 and iPhone 17 Air  – Display and Camera Specs (Leaked)

The standard iPhone 17 is rumored to come with a slightly larger 6.3-inch screen, while the iPhone 17 Air could feature a 6.6-inch display. What’s exciting is that both models are expected to support the 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate, a feature that was previously only available on the Pro models.

Under the hood, the iPhone 17 and 17 Air are likely to be powered by Apple’s new A19 chip, paired with 8GB of RAM. Apple is also said to be working on a new vapor chamber cooling system, which should help keep the phones cool during heavy use like gaming or recording 4K videos.

When it comes to selfies, both phones are expected to get a solid upgrade, jumping from a 12MP to a 24MP front camera for clearer, more detailed shots. On the back, the iPhone 17 might stick with a 48MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide lens.

The iPhone 17 Air, on the other hand, could feature a single 48MP camera with 2x telephoto zoom support, offering a good balance of performance and simplicity.

iPhone 17 Pro – Design and Specs (Leaked)

The iPhone 17 Pro could introduce a fresh new look. Apple might move away from the titanium frame and go with a lighter aluminium and glass design. On the back, expect a redesigned rectangular camera bar with rounded corners, giving the phone a cleaner, more modern look.

As for the cameras:

• Triple 48MP sensors on the rear, including a better telephoto lens for sharper zoom.
• A major upgrade on the front too — from 12MP to 24MP for selfies with more detail and clarity.

The iPhone 17 Pro will likely be powered by Apple’s upcoming A19 Pro chip, along with 12GB of RAM for smoother multitasking and performance. Charging could also be faster, with leaks pointing to 35W fast charging support.

iPhone 17 Pro Price in India, USA and Dubai (Expected)

Thanks to rising global tariffs, especially those from former U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, iPhone prices might shoot up this year. Some reports claim prices could go up by 30% to 40% if Apple passes on the added costs to buyers.

Here’s what the leaked pricing looks like for the iPhone 17 Pro:

• India: Around ₹1,39,999
