Apple's iPhone 17 Pro to debut with higher price tag? Here's what we know
Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 lineup is already stirring buzz among tech fans and industry watchers and a trusted leaker has just revealed some key details about storage and pricing that hint at Apple's evolving strategy. According to Setsuna Digital, known for accurate Apple leaks, the iPhone 17 Pro will finally start with 256GB of storage, doubling the base capacity from the current iPhone 16 Pro's 128GB. (For context, the larger iPhone 16 Pro Max already starts at 256GB.) Setsuna noted, 'In 2025, Pro will finally start at 256GB. This is really not easy for Apple.' While this looks like good news for users wanting more onboard storage, there's a catch: the starting price is expected to rise by $50, and subsequently in UAE's currency. That means the base iPhone 17 Pro could cost around $1,049, or possibly $1,149 if factoring in the additional $100 Apple currently charges for 256GB models. This follows a trend we've seen recently with Apple's pricing approach. For instance, the iPhone 15 Pro Max also started at 256GB storage, eliminating the 128GB entry-level option. As for the non-Pro models, the iPhone 17 is expected to maintain the same $799 starting price as the iPhone 16. However, the iPhone 17 Air, which is rumoured to replace the iPhone 16 Plus priced at $899, could cost more, possibly $949 or even $999, tech analysts say, to fill the gap left by the higher-end Pro models. Apple fans won't have to wait long to get official details, as the tech giant is widely expected to announce the iPhone 17 lineup in early September, with a likely event date around September 9.

iPhone 17 buzz: Major redesign, camera upgrades, price hike
Image credit: AppleTrack/X account Apple is gearing up for its next big reveal with the highly anticipated iPhone 17 series, expected to launch in early September. Industry insiders and leaks suggest this could be one of the most significant iPhone updates in years, featuring notable design, display, and camera changes. Fans and critics alike are buzzing with speculation about what Apple might unveil — from slimmer models to powerful new camera features. Rumours also point to a possible price hike, the first in five years, sparking debate among prospective buyers. As Apple maintains its usual secrecy, every leak and insider tip gains extra weight. With the tech world watching closely, this launch promises to set new standards in smartphone innovation. Here's everything we know so far about the iPhone 17 series, ahead of the expected September unveiling. Read- Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has claimed that September 9 or September 10 could be the unveiling dates, which would align with Apple's long-standing tradition of holding iPhone events in the second week of September, shortly after the Labour Day holiday in the United States, an Design: Slimmer model, horizontal camera layout rumoured Apple appears to be making some noticeable design changes this year. Leaks suggest that certain models, including the iPhone 17 Air and the Pro variants, could feature a horizontal rear camera arrangement, replacing the familiar vertical layout seen in recent generations. The Air model is expected to be significantly slimmer—about 2mm thinner than the current iPhone 16 Pro—making it lighter and easier to handle, while still delivering top-tier performance. Display: 120Hz refresh for all models Rumours indicate that all models of the iPhone 17 will finally feature a 120Hz display, an upgrade from the current 60Hz refresh rate on non-Pro models. This could mark a major improvement in the overall display experience. When Apple debuted the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus with 60Hz screens, there was criticism from users expecting more in 2024. This update could address those concerns — and possibly bring always-on display support to the baseline model for the first time. There's also been speculation about scratch-resistant and anti-reflective displays. A July report from MacRumors suggests these features will arrive on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, but not on the baseline iPhone 17 or the Air, Pricing: First hike in years likely Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has reiterated that the new iPhone announcement is expected on Sept. 9 or 10. Pricing remains a major unknown. However, Jefferies analyst Edison Lee has predicted a $50 price increase for the iPhone 17 Air, Pro, and Pro Max models due to rising component costs and tariffs. He did not mention any pricing changes for the baseline iPhone 17. If these predictions are accurate, the starting prices for the iPhone 17 lineup could be: iPhone 17: $829 iPhone 17 Air: $979 iPhone 17 Pro: $1,049 iPhone 17 Pro Max: $1,249 Despite inflation and supply chain challenges, Apple has not raised base iPhone prices in five years, according to CNET. New camera control feature leaked A potential leak involving the iPhone 17 Pro hints at a second camera control feature, possibly a capacitive touch scroll surface, based on its placement on a test unit seen in ad production. This new interface could allow users to adjust zoom and other camera settings more fluidly, without interfering with the main camera button. If true, this would address long-standing feedback about current swipe-based controls. While the leak's authenticity hasn't been confirmed, the feature lines up with previous reports and could be revealed during the usual September keynote.
