iPhone 17 leaks and rumours: Apple is getting set to revolutionize the smartphone sector yet again with its next iPhone 17 series. Early rumors have already generated curiosity among technology enthusiasts, showcasing significant design, spec, and pricing strategy updates. With offerings such as iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max on the horizon, Apple appears to be all set to introduce a new experience this year.
iPhone 17 Air Could Be the Thinnest iPhone to Date
Apple could launch an entirely new version this year called iPhone 17 Air based on the latest rumors. It is rumored to be the thinnest iPhone ever and might take the place of the Plus model. The smartphone could have a 6.6-inch screen and might have an aluminium frame to ensure it remains lightweight. The front camera will most probably be enhanced and relocated to a smaller pill-shaped notch. Apple might also restrict the sales of this device to certain markets.
iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro to Offer better Display and Camera
The base model iPhone 17 might have a 6.1-inch screen and keep its aluminium body. The Pro model, on the other hand, will probably have a 6.3-inch screen and a titanium body, following the premium theme of the iPhone 15 Pro lineup. Rumors also indicate that Apple might equip all models with a new 24MP front camera. This is a huge upgrade from the existing 12MP sensor.
iPhone 17 Pro Max May Have Tamer Bezels
The iPhone 17 Pro Max will probably continue to be the most premium offering in the series, potentially with a 6.9-inch display featuring incredibly thin bezels. It might have a titanium back and could have a triple rear camera setup. From a design perspective, Apple could also make changes to the configuration of the rear camera module, making the Pro Max look new this year. With regard to pricing, the Pro Max should be pricier than the previous model, although no specific amount has been revealed.
Projected Price Range of iPhone 17 Series
The prices of the iPhone 17 series have not been officially announced, but leaks suggest that the starting model could begin at $799 (approximately Rs 66,500). The iPhone 17 Air could be between the base and Pro models, and the iPhone 17 Pro could cost around $999 (approximately Rs 83,000). As always, the iPhone 17 Pro Max could cross the $1,200 (approximately Rs 1 lakh) barrier, depending on the variant.
Launch Timeline and Availability
Apple will launch the iPhone 17 series in September 2025. All four models — iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max — are likely to be launched simultaneously. Although availability in India and other international markets is likely soon after the worldwide launch, Apple might restrict the iPhone 17 Air to some regions initially.
