The tipster also mentioned that Apple may launch the iPhone 17 Pro in a new copper-like colour and that the Apple logo might be repositioned to the centre of the back panel.

iPhone 17 Launch Date Once Again In The News: When Is Apple Planning For The Event?
iPhone 17 launch date is widely tipped for September but when will Apple actually bring the new models? The iPhone 17 series launch date has become a widely discussed topic in the last few weeks, and we have even come across multiple reports that have made their own estimates for the big day. Reports suggest, Apple could bring the new iPhone 17 models in early September, which is just a few weeks from now and the countdown has surely started. Samsung launched its new foldables in July, and Google Pixel 10 series is going to be announced later this month. But the big fish Apple iPhone 17 series launch is probably the most awaited event once again. We've come across a wide array of leaks around the iPhone 17 series, including the rumoured Air model, which is a clear sign of Apple already having the products in place for the big launch. Apple's launch date was first speculated by Bloomberg and now a German telecom operator has shared their own timeline, suggesting the iPhone 17 launch could happen on Tuesday, September 9. The operator further points out that Apple will make the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro series models available on shelves from September 19 which is a Friday, usually the day when the company makes its new products available. The iPhone 17 model is expected to get the dynamic island along with a 120Hz display but without the ProMotion adaptive refresh rate tech. With all these upgrades and the tariff risk hanging over Apple's head, the iPhone 17 series launch price could be higher than last year. The iPhone 17 Pro price, going by the rumours, could start around Rs 1,39,900 which will be a significant bump on the iPhone 16 Pro launch price of Rs 1,19,900 last year. The iPhone 17 Pro Max price could go as high as Rs 1,64,900 when it launches this year. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Trump plans 100% tariff on computer chips, unless companies build in US
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he will impose a 100% tariff on computer chips, raising the specter of higher prices for electronics, autos, household appliances and other essential products dependent on the processors powering the digital age. Chip-related shares were down in early Asian trade on August 7, after US President Donald Trump said he planned to impose a 100 percent tariff on imported semiconductors.(AFP) 'We'll be putting a tariff of approximately 100% on chips and semiconductors,' Trump said in the Oval Office while meeting with Apple CEO Tim Cook. "But if you're building in the United States of America, there's no charge." The announcement came more than three months after Trump temporarily exempted most electronics from his administration's most onerous tariffs. The Republican president said companies that make computer chips in the US would be spared the import tax. During the Covid-19 pandemic, a shortage of computer chips increased the price of autos and contributed to higher inflation. Investors seemed to interpret the potential tariff exemptions as a positive for Apple and other major tech companies that have been making huge financial commitments to manufacture more chips and other components in the U.S.. Big Tech already has made collective commitments to invest about $1.5 trillion in the US since Trump moved back into the White House in January. That figure includes a $600 billion promise from Apple after the iPhone maker boosted its commitment by tacking another $100 billion on to a previous commitment made in February. Now the question is whether the deal brokered between Cook and Trump will be enough to insulate the millions of iPhones made in China and India from the tariffs that the administration has already imposed and reduce the pressure on the company to raise prices on the new models expected to be unveiled next month. Wall Street certainly seems to think so. After Apple's stock price gained 5% in Wednesday regular trading sessions, the shares rose by another 3% in extended trading after Trump announced some tech companies won't be hit with the latest tariffs while Cook stood alongside him. The shares of AI chipmaker Nvidia, which also has recently made big commitments to the US, rose slightly in extended trading to add to the $1 trillion gain in market value the Silicon Valley company has made since the start of Trump's second administration. The stock price of computer chip pioneer Intel, which has fallen on hard times, also climbed in extended trading. Inquiries sent to chip makers Nvidia and Intel were not immediately answered. The chip industry's main trade group, the Semiconductor Industry Association, declined to comment on Trump's latest tariffs. Demand for computer chips has been climbing worldwide, with sales increasing 19.6% in the year-ended in June, according to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics organization. Trump's tariff threats mark a significant break from existing plans to revive computer chip production in the US that were drawn up during the administration of President Joe Biden. Since taking over from Biden, Trump has been deploying tariffs to incentivize more domestic production. Essentially, the president is betting that the threat of dramatically higher chip costs would force most companies to open factories domestically, despite the risk that tariffs could squeeze corporate profits and push up prices for mobile phones, TVs and refrigerators. By contrast, the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act that Biden signed into law in 2022 provided more than $50 billion to support new computer chip plants, fund research and train workers for the industry. The mix of funding support, tax credits and other financial incentives were meant to draw in private investment, a strategy that Trump has vocally opposed.

Tim Cook gifts THIS to Donald Trump after announcing $600 billion investment: Watch video
Apple CEO Tim Cook presented a gift to US President Donald Trump on Wednesday. It was a 'unique' piece of glass from iPhone glass manufacturer Corning that's set in a 24-karat gold base. Tim Cook's gesture came as his company, Apple, pledged additional new investments worth $100 billion in US manufacturing, taking total investments to $600 billion. In a video, Apple CEO Tim Cook could be seen displaying a memento in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on August 6, 2025 as US President Donald Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick look on before announcing that Apple will invest an additional $100 billion in the United States, taking its total pledge to $600 billion over the next four years. The piece of glass is a large disc with the Apple logo cut into it. President Trump's name is printed on top of the glass. On the bottom, there's a signature that appears to be Cook's as well as the message 'Made in USA' and the year 2025. Cook said the glass was designed by a 'former US Marine Corps corporal' who works at Apple. The base 'comes from Utah.'

(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) The Apple CEO said, "This glass comes off the Corning line. It's engraved for President Trump. It's a unique unit of one. It was designed by a US Marince Corps corporal, a former one, that works at Apple now." "And the base comes from Utah and is 24-karat gold," he added. According to Reuters, the price of gold is currently over $3,300 pet ounce. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that Apple will invest an additional $100 billion in the US. The new pledge brings Apple's total investment commitment in the US to $600 billion. The move will expand the company's domestic investment commitment and could help it sidestep potential tariffs on iPhones, Reuters reported. But it still falls short of Trump's demand that Apple begin making iPhones domestically. "Companies like Apple, they're coming home. They're all coming home," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, moments after Apple CEO Tim Cook gave him a US-made souvenir with a 24-karat gold base. "This is a significant step toward the ultimate goal of ensuring that iPhones sold in America also are made in America," Trump added. Earlier this year, the company had announced it would invest $500 billion and hire 20,000 workers across the country over the next four years.
