iPhone 17 dummy units leaked in 2 new colour variants: Here's what it may look like
Last year, Apple introduced some bright colours with the iPhone 16, with 'Ultramarine' gaining much popularity among the buyers. However, based on the dummy units, Apple is likely to pick light colour shades, similar to what we saw with the iPhone 15 models.

iPhone 17 colour variants
As in previous years, the iPhone 17 series is also expected to come in several colour options, allowing buyers to have a wider choice. This year, Apple is expected to bring 6 colour options that may include Black, White, Light Blue, Steel Grey, Green, and Purple. Now, tipster Majin Bu has leaked the dummy units of the iPhone model, giving a glimpse at two new shades of the device, which are Green and Purple.
While we have already seen these two colours in previous generations of base iPhone models, but the iPhone 17 will likely come in new shades of green and purple, which look quite enticing in the newly shared glimpse by the tipster.

iPhone 17 specifications and features (expected)
Apart from the new colour variants, the iPhone 17 is slated for major specs upgrades this year. Firstly, the iPhone 17 could get a 120Hz OLED display. The smartphone will likely be powered by the A19 chip paired with 8GB RAM. For photography, Apple may stick to the 48MP main camera and 12MP ultrawide, but it is expected to get an upgraded 24MP selfie camera. Therefore, the iPhone 17 could be a great option for an upgrade this year.
Apple is also planning to introduce a new iPhone 17 Air model, which could replace the Plus model. This new model is expected to flaunt an ultra-thin design, similar to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Therefore, buyers will have another standard model choice, apart from the base iPhone 17 model.

iPhone 17, Air, Pro and Pro Max: Launch timeline and specs leak ahead of Apple event
Apple's next flagship smartphone line-up, the iPhone 17 series, is expected to be officially unveiled on 9 September, according to a report by German The report, citing local mobile phone providers, claims that Apple will hold its next major launch event in line with its usual September timeline, a pattern the company has followed for several years. The iPhone 17 series is expected to include four models: the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. If the leaked schedule holds, pre-orders may open on 12 September, with deliveries and in-store sales likely to commence on 19 September. While Apple has not officially confirmed the date, the timing corresponds with earlier reports, including insights from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who had previously suggested that the event could fall between 8 and 12 September. In terms of hardware, the new iPhones are expected to feature upgraded internals. The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air are reported to be powered by the A19 chip, whereas the Pro models could be equipped with a higher-end A19 Pro chipset. Display sizes are also expected to vary: both the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro may feature 6.3-inch screens, the iPhone 17 Air could sport a 6.5-inch display, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max may come with a 6.9-inch screen. The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, and iPhone 17 Pro are rumoured to be built with an aluminium frame, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max is tipped to continue using a titanium frame, similar to its predecessor. A modest price increase is anticipated, with all models except the base iPhone 17 expected to cost approximately $50 more than last year's iPhone 16 series, translating to an increase of roughly ₹ 4,000 in the Indian market. In addition to the iPhone launch, Apple is also likely to announce the third generation of AirPods Pro and updated Apple Watch models during the same event. As with previous launches, Apple is expected to release further details in the weeks leading up to the event.

Beware Apple users! Government warns against critical risk: How to stay safe online
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued a high-severity alert regarding multiple security vulnerabilities found across a wide range of Apple products. The flaws, if exploited, could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, bypass security mechanisms, escalate privileges, or cause denial-of-service (DoS) conditions on affected devices. This warning is part of the recently released vulnerability note CIVN-2025-0163. According to CERT-In, the vulnerabilities impact several Apple operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Devices running versions older than the latest available releases are particularly at risk. The affected versions include iOS prior to 18.6, iPadOS prior to 17.7.9 and 18.6, macOS Sequoia before 15.6, macOS Sonoma before 14.7.7, macOS Ventura before 13.7.7, watchOS before 11.6, tvOS before 18.6, and visionOS before 2.6. CERT-In's advisory highlights that the risks posed by these vulnerabilities are significant. If exploited successfully, an attacker could gain unauthorised access to sensitive information, manipulate system data, disrupt services, or take complete control of the affected devices. These flaws result from a variety of technical issues, such as type confusion, integer and buffer overflows, race conditions, logic errors, improper input validation, flawed memory management, and incorrect privilege handling. Attackers can potentially exploit these by sending specially crafted requests to the targeted system. The cyber agency has assessed the overall risk as high, particularly for both individual users and organisations that depend on Apple devices for critical functions. The consequences of a successful attack could include data breaches, system downtime, and severe reputational harm. CERT-In has strongly advised users to treat this issue as a priority and take immediate steps to secure their devices. In response, Apple has released patches addressing the identified vulnerabilities. Users are urged to promptly apply these updates to ensure their systems are protected. The relevant security patches are available through Apple's official support channels and cover all impacted platforms. Users can find update details on Apple's website via dedicated links to updates for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. These include support documents with IDs such as 124148, 124149, 124150, 124151, 124155, 124147, 124153, and 124154. CERT-In has also encouraged users to adopt standard cyber hygiene practices. These include avoiding unverified applications, not clicking on suspicious links, regularly monitoring devices for abnormal activity, and keeping systems up to date with the latest software patches. Organisations should also ensure their IT teams are aware of the issue and implement the updates across all Apple-based endpoints without delay. This advisory comes as a reminder of the growing complexity of cyber threats targeting widely used consumer and enterprise technologies. With Apple products playing a key role in both personal and business environments, keeping them secure is critical. For further information, users can visit the official CERT-In website or Apple's support pages to access technical documentation and patch details.

Reports suggest Apple is working on an AI-driven answer platform
Apple has reportedly assembled a team to build an AI-powered app akin to ChatGPT, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports. Reportedly called Answers Knowledge Information AKI team is working on building an 'AI answer engine' capable of using the information from across the web to answer questions posed to it. This feature could be in a standalone app or provide search capability to Siri, Safari, and other Apple products. Gurman also states that Apple is hiring for this in-house AI team, as it is on the lookout for candidates with experience in search algorithms and engine development. Apple has already integrated ChatGPT Siri integration allows users to access AI-features without having to build its own app in-house. However, a more personalized, AI-powered update to Siri has been delayed on numerous accounts and is reportedly in the works. Apple may also be forced to change its search agreement with Google due to the company's recent antitrust loss. Gurman states that Apple is notably behind when it comes to artificial intelligence, and some of its leaders have even expressed skepticism at integrating ChatGPT-style search. The privacy issues surrounding OpenAI's platform has also meant Apple may be interested in a more personalized, Apple-made answer engine. The new 'answers engine' that Apple is reportedly building, could either be a standalone app. It is more likely to offer search capabilities to Siri, Safari, and other Apple products. The tech giant is actively hiring for this team, as seen on its recent job listings, with Apple specifically looking for candidates with experience with Safari search algorithms and engine development. It's worth noting that Apple is not yet on the conversational AI warpath that some other tech giants are, in which they are recruiting AI talent and paying them insane amounts of money to switch companies. Metal has reportedly been poaching top AI talent and adding them to its Super Intelligence Labs with upwards of $100 million on a multi-year deal. It's unknown as to whether Apple will be just as aggressive with its own recruiting.
