Apple is anticipated to reveal its iPhone 17 line up soon. This time, Apple is likely to introduce four models: the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and an all-new addition to the lineup — the iPhone 17 Air. Among these, the Air variant stands out with a design and features that set it apart significantly from the brand’s recent releases.
For Apple fans, we’ve gathered some exclusive insights and rumored information about the upcoming iPhone 17 series—including expected pricing, launch timelines, and more.
Following Apple’s usual launch schedule, the upcoming iPhone lineup is likely to debut sometime in the second or third week of September. Pre-orders are expected to open shortly after the official announcement, with the devices becoming available for purchase within one to two weeks.
Apple iPhone 17 Pro:
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to feature advanced camera capabilities, including a 48-megapixel primary lens, a 48-megapixel fusion sensor, and a 48-megapixel Ultra-Wide lens. In addition, Apple is introducing a new 48-megapixel Tetraprism Telephoto lens, which is likely to be a key highlight. The updated Ultra-Wide lens resembles the one previously seen in earlier iPhone models, while the enhanced Telephoto lens is anticipated to deliver a major leap in zoom and image quality.
To attract photography enthusiasts, Apple is reportedly equipping the new iPhone with a mechanical aperture. This feature would let users manually control the light entering the lens, offering greater flexibility. It would also allow for depth of field adjustments, enabling users to fine-tune their shots for optimal focus and artistic effect.
iPhone 17 Air Camera:
Due to its compact and slim design, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a single 48-megapixel Fusion rear camera. The ultra-thin profile—rumored to be just 5.5mm thick—leaves no space for a telephoto lens. Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 17 is anticipated to sport a 24-megapixel front-facing camera, with the rear camera setup possibly mirroring that of the iPhone 16. The base model will likely retain the 48-megapixel main sensor along with a 12-megapixel Ultra-Wide lens.
iPhone 17 Series India Price:
The anticipated starting price for the iPhone 17 series in India is expected to be Rs 79,900; however, the costs for both the base and pro models may increase due to tariffs enacted during the Donald Trump administration. Additionally, the production of smartphones in China could become more expensive as a result of the current tensions between Beijing and Washington.
