iPhone 17 Pro Max: Like every year, Apple is in the headlines this time too for its new iPhone series. But this time things have become more interesting, because the iPhone 17 series may not only include the iPhone 17 and its Pro variants, but also a new model, which is being called the iPhone 17 Air. This new name may replace Apple’s Plus lineup and give users an option that is a perfect balance between the base model and the Pro.
The possible launch date of the iPhone 17 series is said to be September 2025, and as the time is getting closer, new leaks and rumors are coming out in the market every day. Let’s know what is going to be special this time in this next-generation phone lineup of Apple.
There will be a upgrade in charging technology
This time Apple is also preparing to take its MagSafe charger to a new level. According to the leaked regulatory details, the company is going to bring two new MagSafe models A3503 and A3502, which will support the Qi 2.2 standard. This means that now the wireless charging speed in the iPhone 17 can go up to 50W – which has not happened in any iPhone till now.
The design of these new chargers will be similar to the classic white round MagSafe, but this time Apple has also added a braided cable to it – which is strong and will last longer. This cable will be available in lengths of 1 meter and 2 meters, which will give users even more flexibility.
Change will be seen in the design
This time a special change will be seen in the design of the iPhone 17 series. If reports are to be believed, this time aluminum frame will be used in all iPhone 17 models – even Pro and Pro Max.
So far we know that Apple used stainless steel or titanium frames in its Pro models, but this time the company probably wants to bring a unified look. One advantage of this will be that the weight of the device will be lighter and the grip will also feel better.
The camera setup will be even more stylish
If you expect a great photography experience from the iPhone, then something special is going to be found in the iPhone 17 Pro this time. It is being told that this time the rear camera setup can change completely – a horizontal bar can be seen in it, which may look like the Google Pixel series, but with Apple’s finishing it will look more premium.
There can also be a big upgrade in the selfie camera – till now a 12MP front camera was available, but there is talk of giving a 24MP camera in the iPhone 17. At the same time, all three rear cameras – wide, ultra wide and telephoto – are expected to be upgraded with 48MP sensors. This means that now a big change can be seen in the photo and video quality from the iPhone.
New processor and more RAM will be available
Many leaks have also surfaced regarding the performance of the iPhone 17 series. It is being told that the A18 Bionic chip will be given in the base model, while the new A19 chip can be found in high-end variants like Pro and Pro Max. Both these chips will be made on TSMC’s 3nm technology, which will improve both performance and battery efficiency.
Talking about RAM, models like iPhone 17 and 17 Air will get 8GB of RAM, while 12GB RAM can be given in Pro variants. All devices will run on iOS 26, which Apple announced at WWDC 2025.
Prices may increase slightly in India
The price of the iPhone 17 series may increase slightly in India. While the starting price of iPhone 16 was ₹ 79,900 last year, this time the price of the base iPhone 17 is being said to be around ₹ 89,900.
It is likely to have a starting price of $899 in the US, and in countries like the UAE, it can be available for around AED 3,799. Apple’s focus this time will probably be to keep the price stable in some markets, so that inflation and supply chain problems can be dealt with.
In the end, it comes down to this…
The iPhone 17 series is not just another annual upgrade – it is a sign of a balanced, unified and performance-focused lineup from Apple. With new camera upgrades, charging speeds, refined design and powerful chips, this series looks like a package that has been designed keeping every user in mind.
With these four models – iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max – Apple is once again going to set a new standard in the market. Now it remains to be seen which of these models will win the hearts of the users the most when these phones are officially launched in September 2025.
