Whether you're craving cinematic-quality selfies or buttery-smooth performance, this series promises to redefine what a flagship iPhone can be. Read on to see if Apple might just have its most versatile lineup yet.
Apple iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro launch date (Expected)
In his weekly newsletter, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg recently revealed that Apple is likely to host the launch event the week of September 8. Apple typically announces new products on Tuesdays rather than Fridays.
Gurman thinks the incident will probably happen on Tuesday, September 9, or Wednesday, September 10; however, Monday, September 8, is still a possibility. Out of respect, Apple usually doesn't schedule activities on September 11.
Apple iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro expected specifications
Both the standard model and the iPhone 17 Pro will have a 6.3-inch OLED screen. However, the Pro Max model will come with a 6.9-inch OLED panel, and the 17 Air will have a 6.6-inch OLED display.
According to rumors, every item in the range would sport ProMotion screens with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. For those who are unaware of the specifics of the aforementioned functionality, it will make tasks like playing games, swiping through apps, and visiting websites incredibly smooth.
The first iPhone 17 Air will be a slim offering from the company that will compete with smartphones like the Galaxy S25 Edge in the worldwide market, while other handsets will remain relatively comparable in size to their predecessors.
Regarding the sensors, there may be some significant advancements in this area. According to reports, a 24MP front camera for selfies and video chats will be included with all four models.
For improved camera capabilities, the Pro Max model from the series might get three 48MP cameras. Apple may provide the next A19 CPU in the phones, which will run iOS 26, to support the performance.
However, according to the rumors, the base model from the series might make its debut with the A18 processor.
Apple iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro expected price
The iPhone 17 will cost approximately Rs 79,999 when it arrives in India. The Air model might launch for about Rs 89,999. The Pro Max will cost Rs 1,64,900, while the Pro model would cost approximately Rs 1,39,900. However, until Apple formally announces the price, it cannot be verified.

iPhone 17 Air's biggest weakness may be its battery, here's how
Apple is expected to launch a new slimmer Air model with the iPhone 17 lineup in September. The recent leaks for this model suggest that the ultra-thin design may come with battery compromises. The latest rumour claims that the iPhone 17 Air's battery capacity may not exceed 3000mAh. Earlier this year, a leaker named yeux1122 initially claimed the iPhone 17 Air's battery would be 2800mAh. A figure which is lower than some expectations. Now, this battery capacity range seems to be corroborated by another tipster named Instant Digital. The leaker recently took to Chinese social media site Weibo to claim that the battery of iPhone 17 Air may 'not exceed 3000mAh.' It's important to note that even if the battery capacity reaches closer to 3000mAh, it would still be considerably less than what the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup is expected to offer. How iPhone Air 17's battery may compare to existing and upcoming models To compare, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is rumoured to feature a battery capacity of around 5000mAh. Last year's iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro had batteries closer to 3500mAh; however, the iPhone 17 Air will need more power to support its larger display. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Plus packs a bigger 4,674mAh battery.

Firstly, iOS 26 is introducing a new Adaptive Power mode, which is aimed at extending battery life. Secondly, Apple is said to be working on a new battery case accessory for users who want extra backup. Still, for many considering the iPhone 17 Air, battery life could remain a major concern if the rumours are to be true. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to debut in four colours, including a light Lavender, a soft Desert Titanium, and a standout Space Black variant. It may be the first non-Pro iPhone to feature a 120Hz display, though without variable refresh rate to save battery. The slimmer iPhone may be powered by the A19 chip and run iOS 26 out-of-the-box.

Speaking to Reuters, CEO Aravind Srinivas said the move is intended to leverage the familiarity of preloaded apps to encourage user retention and boost usage of the company's AI search offerings. According to MediaTek, India presents a significant opportunity due to its skilled AI workforce and growing adoption of intelligent tech in the EV industry. Rita Wu, Director for Product Marketing – Automotive Platform, told PTI that the company aims to deepen its presence in the country by focusing on scalable SoCs, AI applications, and advanced connectivity solutions for the automotive sector.
