Curious about the iPhone 17 series? We’re breaking down the iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max to highlight what’s new for each model this year.

Apple is gearing up to unveil its next iPhone lineup, and fresh details are popping up online about what each model has in store. If the latest leaks and rumors hold true, the upcoming iPhone 17 series could represent one of the biggest design overhauls we've seen in years, with changes across all four models. Scheduled for a September launch, the iPhone 17 series promises significant design and feature enhancements. It’s expected to include the standard iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Air, the iPhone 17 Pro, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Each model is set to boast updates in design, performance, and camera capabilities, with Apple introducing new features to the non-Pro models for the first time. Let’s dive into what we can expect from the new iPhone 17 lineup based on the latest leaks and rumors. The base iPhone 17 will feature a 6.3-inch display, a nice bump from its predecessor. It will be powered by the new A19 chip, which is said to offer moderate performance improvements. One exciting addition is the 24MP front-facing TrueDepth camera, marking the first significant upgrade to the selfie camera in years. Apple is also expected to roll out ProMotion and always-on display features, which were previously exclusive to the Pro models. The device will come in a variety of colors: purple, green, blue, black, and white, with a starting price anticipated to be around $799 (approximately Rs. 70,001). The iPhone 17 Air is gearing up to take the place of the Plus model, focusing on portability with its sleek, ultra-thin design. It’s set to sport a 6.6-inch display and will be powered by the A19 Pro chip, albeit with a slightly lower GPU core count, and will come with 12GB of RAM. On the camera front, it will feature a single rear camera with a main 48MP lens, plus an upgraded 24MP front camera. Excitingly, it’s also expected to debut Apple’s first in-house C1 5G modem. As for colors, you can expect options that align with Apple’s Air lineup, including light blue, light gold, black, and silver. The starting price for the iPhone 17 Air is anticipated to be around $949 (approximately Rs. 83,144). The Pro models are set to undergo a significant visual transformation, featuring a full-width horizontal camera bar. They’ll switch to aluminum instead of titanium and will maintain the same sizes as last year—6.3 inches for the iPhone 17 Pro and 6.9 inches for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Both models will be equipped with the A19 Pro chip, ensuring top-notch performance. They’re also likely to include the upgraded 24MP front camera and a 48MP telephoto lens to complement the main and ultra-wide cameras. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will boast a larger battery for longer usage. Additional enhancements include a more scratch-resistant, anti-reflective display. Expect both devices to come in four color options: orange, dark blue, silver, and black, with starting prices of $1,049 (around Rs. 91,910) for the Pro and $1,249 (around Rs. 1,09,500) for the Pro Max. Apple usually hosts its iPhone launch event in early September, typically in the second week. If they stick to their usual schedule, we can look forward to the official reveal of the iPhone 17 lineup on September 9, with pre-orders likely kicking off shortly after.
