With the expected launch of the iPhone 17 series—including the iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and the regular iPhone 17—just a few months away in September 2025, a surge of leaks and rumors is already stirring excitement over what Apple could be planning for its next generation of smartphones.
Apple is anticipated to update its iPhone series this year with four new devices, but there could be a significant shift in the lineup. Reports suggest that the Plus model may be discontinued. Instead, the tech giant is likely to unveil a sleeker and more lightweight version, potentially called the iPhone 17 Air, designed to cater to those who prefer a thinner and more compact smartphone experience.

The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are rumored to boast significant upgrades in their camera systems, including a trio of 48-megapixel sensors: a main lens, a fusion sensor, and an Ultra-Wide lens. One of the standout additions is expected to be a 48-megapixel Tetraprism Telephoto lens, which could become a defining feature of the Pro lineup.
On the other hand, the iPhone 17 Air, with its ultra-slim form factor reportedly measuring just 5.5mm in thickness, is likely to include only a single 48-megapixel Fusion rear camera due to limited internal space.
As for the standard iPhone 17, it’s expected to come equipped with a 24-megapixel front camera, while the back may follow a similar setup to the iPhone 16—featuring a 48-megapixel primary shooter and a 12-megapixel Ultra-Wide sensor.

Leaker Majin Bu recently shared a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), revealing what appear to be the official cases for the entire iPhone 17 lineup — including the 17 Pro Max, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and the base iPhone 17. Interestingly, the tipster mentioned that the cases are already available for pre-order through direct messaging, which is quite surprising given that the official launch is still around four months away. While plans could shift before release, Majin Bu has a solid history of accurate Apple-related leaks, lending credibility to the claims.
iPhone 1, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max India price:
The iPhone 17 lineup is projected to launch in India with a starting price of around Rs 79,900. However, prices for the standard and Pro versions might see an upward revision, influenced by import duties introduced during Donald Trump’s presidency. Moreover, rising geopolitical tensions between China and the U.S. could lead to higher manufacturing costs, potentially impacting overall pricing.
