Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17 lineup in September 2025, sticking to its annual upgrade cycle. According to reports and supply chain leaks, the Tim Cook-led company is adding a fourth model to its flagship smartphone series this year. New model incoming In addition to the base iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max, Apple is tipped to introduce a new variant called iPhone 17 Air—a thinner (around 5.5 mm) and lighter model, possibly with a single rear camera. This could serve as Apple's answer to a segment of users looking for portability over performance. Specs and display All iPhone 17 models, including the Air , are expected to feature 120Hz ProMotion displays. The screen sizes may range from 6.3 inches for the base model to 6.9 inches for the Pro Max. The Air is rumoured to come with a 6.6-inch display.

While the iPhone 15 and 16 Pro models used titanium frames, the company may revert to aluminium for the iPhone 17 series—except for the Air, which could feature a titanium-aluminium hybrid. The camera layout is reportedly getting a makeover. Instead of the squircle or vertical pill seen in recent models, the Pro variants may adopt a rectangular bar across the back, while the Air could feature a horizontal pill-shaped module.

Alleged cases of iPhone 17 series leaked online: Here's what to expect from the upcoming iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and new iPhone 17 Air
Apple iPhone 17 series is expected to launch in September 2025. Ahead of the official release, leaks have revealed new details about the upcoming models, including possible design changes and features. Tipster Majin Bu recently posted images of the alleged cases for the iPhone 17 lineup — including the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Air, and 17 Pro Max — on X (formerly Twitter). According to the post, the cases are already available for pre-order via direct messages, even though the phone launch is still about four months away. 'iPhone 17 series cases available in various styles, to pre-order send me a message,' the post reads. Apple iPhone 17 series cases leaked The leaked cases have a transparent back with white MagSafe detailing, similar to Apple's current 'Clear Case with MagSafe' for existing iPhone models. The leaked case images suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will continue to have large camera modules. The iPhone 17 case has the smallest camera cutout, only slightly bigger than the iPhone 16. The case for the iPhone 17 Air , which is rumored to be a slimmer model, shows a cutout that stretches across the back of the phone, similar to Pixel phones but placed higher up. Notably, these details align with previous leaks about the upcoming models. As per previous leaks, Apple may use a new "camera bar" design on the iPhone 17 Air, Pro, and Pro Max. Bloomberg's Mark has said that the iPhone 17 Pro will have a single-color back. The camera section will match the rest of the phone. Reports also suggest that iPhone 17 Pro Max may come with a two-tone back, with the camera area in a different color from the rest of the phone. Apple iPhone 17 series expected features Apple is rumoured to introduce the 120Hz ProMotion display for the first time on the standard iPhone 17 model. This refresh rate was previously only available on the Pro versions. The new display is expected to use LTPO OLED panels from Samsung, which are more power-efficient. There is also speculation that this change could allow for an always-on display, although that has not been confirmed. One of the major changes expected with the iPhone 17 series is that all models may offer a 24MP selfie camera, a major upgrade over the 12MP sensors found in the iPhone 16 series. Further, the Pro models may feature three 48MP sensors on the rear, again a first for iPhones. iPhone 17 Air, on the other hand, may come with a single 48MP camera, reports say. For Pro models, the company is likely to opt for a horizontal camera bar to house the three sensors. Other likely features on iPhone 17 series are A19 Bionic chipset, iOS 19, and upgraded Wi-Fi. Apple may discontinue Plus model with iPhone 17 series Online rumours indicate that Apple may discontinue the "Plus" variant from the iPhone 17 series. The decision is believed to be based on lower-than-expected demand for the model. It may be replaced with the slimmer model of the iPhone 17 series. AI Masterclass for Students.

iPhone 17 design totally leaks by case makers, here is everything we know about iPhones of 2025
With the dust settled on the Galaxy S25 Edge launch, and considering the next pitstop in July — where the Galaxy Z series phones are unveiled — it's pretty safe to say that the next major launch in the smartphone world will be the iPhone 17 series. Apple's next-generation devices are expected to be unveiled in September, and while we are still a few months away, the leaks and rumours have already given us a fair idea of what to expect. As if the design leaks over the past few months weren't enough, we now also have case leaks — which are being claimed to be the actual cases for all the upcoming iPhone 17 to tipster Majin Bu, via a post on X (formerly Twitter), the iPhone 17 cases for all models — i.e. the 17 Pro Max, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and the standard 17 — have leaked in all their glory. The tipster even claims that you can pre-order the cases by sending them a message, which is quite an interesting thing to ask, considering we are still about four months away from the expected launch, and anything can change in between. That said, the tipster does have a pretty good track record when it comes to Apple leaks, so there's a fair chance we're looking at the real at the cases, the leak also confirms what to expect from the design of the next-generation iPhone 17 models. We have already seen a bunch of iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max leaks, and the cases confirm both phones' massive camera bumps. Even the iPhone 17 Air — which has been heavily featured in the rumour mill — has a case that confirms it may come with a bar-like camera island, akin to the Pixel phones. The iPhone 17 case is the most interesting of the bunch, and not for the right reasons — because its case also suggests that the phone may very well retain the look of the iPhone 16, with a vertical dual-camera design. However, the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro case sizes seem quite similar — does this mean the iPhone 17 may also feature similar dimensions as the 17 Pro? Maybe a similar 6.3-inch screen size, thus ditching the 6.1-inch screen from the iPhone 16?advertisement As always, until anything's official, we'd suggest taking every leak and rumour with a healthy grain of what we know, the iPhone 17 series is said to be the biggest upgrade to iPhones in several years. The square camera island design of the Pro models is finally expected to be replaced by a rectangular one in the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. The iPhone 17 Air is said to replace the Plus models — much like how the Plus models replaced the Mini line with the launch of the iPhone 14 series. Will the move pay off? Guess we'll get to know by the end of the the biggest talking point is the presence of a ProMotion 120Hz display. It is heavily rumoured that all iPhone 17 models — including the standard 17 and 17 Air — will feature a 120Hz refresh rate screen. It's been a long time coming. If it does finally materialise, will the standard models also get the Always-On Display feature? Only time will mentioned above, the iPhone 17 series is expected to launch in September later this year. In terms of price — if everything goes well and if the tariff war between the US and China is settled in some form by then — expect Apple to price the 17 series similar to the 16 series, i.e. $799, $899, $999, and $1,199 for the 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max, respectively. Similarly, in India, expect these prices to be Rs 79,900, Rs 89,900, Rs 1,19,900, and Rs 1,34,900, respectively, for the 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro course, nothing has been officially confirmed by Apple. Stay tuned to India Today Tech for all the latest on the iPhone 17 series.

iPhone 17 Pro And 17 Pro Max Camera Details Revealed: What We Can Expect This Year
Last Updated: The iPhone 17 Pro camera upgrades could be serious from Apple this year and people might be excited to get the new models. The iPhone 17 Pro series is most likely to feature a new camera layout which has been leaked recently. But Apple is also planning for some major upgrades with the camera hardware that should have people excited for the latest flagship iPhones in the market. The latest update around the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max camera setup suggests Apple is serious about making them one of the best in its range. The biggest upgrade with the iPhone 17 Pro series camera setup is the new 48MP telephoto lens which could replace the current 12MP lens of the same ilk. This means Apple could bring a full set of 48MP sensors for its triple camera system with this year's iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max models. We could also see the iPhone 17 Pro models get support for variable aperture with the new lens, also mentioned in multiple leaks recently. These changes could be further enhanced with a new 24MP shooter on the front side of these models, making it Apple's biggest camera upgrade in years. Earlier, tipster Jon Prosser said the iPhone 17 Pro cameras will be getting a new feature called dual-recording mode. Apple could finally make it possible to use both front and rear cameras to record content. The feature itself is not new as we have seen brands like Nokia and Samsung along with apps like Snapchat offer the use of dual cameras to shoot videos. periscope telephoto lens. Having said that, the bigger changes and upgrades are likely to be reserved for the iPhone 19 series as suggested in multiple reports this year. Before that we will see the iOS 19 announced at the WWDC 2025 in June where Apple could also talk about upcoming AI features for its devices. First Published: May 12, 2025, 15:36 IST

iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max could be the camera phone to beat with these 4 upgrades
It's only May, but the next thing you know it'll be September — which has been typically the time when Apple hosts its iPhone event. I haven't been too excited about new Apple releases the last few years, but all the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max camera rumors have me stoked. Not only do the rumors hint at hardware upgrades that could help Apple reclaim the title of best camera phone over the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but the iPhone 17 Pros are tipped to gain new functions that could deepen its arsenal and how they're used. That's because these rumored iPhone 17 Pro camera upgrades are arguably going to be the biggest in years. And even though an iPhone 17 Air is expected to launch alongside them, I'm not convinced its single camera is enough to make me choose it — especially if its price ends up being much higher than the iPhone 17 Pro models. Before I dig into all the iPhone 17 Pro camera rumors, it's worth detailing what new changes accompanied the most recent releases: the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. Here's a recap on all of their camera changes: Considering how the main and ultrawide cameras got big upgrades the last couple of years, there's only one other camera left in desperate need of a makeover — the telephoto. Leaks indicate that Apple's going to be arming the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max with a new 48MP sensor that's a big upgrade over the current 12MP one in the iPhone 16 Pros. While I'm stoked for this hardware upgrade, it could come at the expense of a 'downgrade' of sorts with the optical zoom. Instead of matching the current 5x optical zoom of the iPhone 16 Pro's, we could possibly end up with a 3.5x optical zoom. Now, we've seen this sort of strategy before, like how the Galaxy S24 Ultra ended up with a 5x optical zoom instead of 10x. I'm not too worried if this ends up happening because I've seen how well Apple effectively uses pixel binning tech and new image processing algorithms to enhance zoom photos in devices like the iPhone 16e. Either way, I'm confident that the zooming performance of the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will exceed their predecessors to not only deliver sharper zoom photos, but also work better under low light. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Despite rocking the same 12MP TrueDepth for the last few generations, the selfie cameras of the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max could finally see a proper refresh. Interestingly, Apple relied on a 12MP f/2.2 TrueDepth camera going as far back as the iPhone 11 Pro — only to slightly improve it to a faster f/1.9 aperture starting with the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Longtime analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that it's being upgraded to a 24MP front-facing camera, which would consist of a six element lens to deliver even sharper results than ever before. Naturally, I suspect the biggest impact to this change is how it captures photos under harsher lighting conditions. I've put the iPhone 16 Pro Max through countless 200 photo face-offs by now, like against the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Pixel 9 Pro XL, and know that its selfie camera continues to deliver outstanding results against all of its main rivals. Of course, this upgrade would only make things better. This is a long time coming, but I'm really hoping that this rumor ends up being true because I've been asking for this exact feature for years now. Well known Apple leaker Jon Prosser hints that Apple will finally bring native dual-video capture with the iPhone 17 Pro models. Meaning, you'd be able to record with both the front camera and rear camera simultaneously. Now, if this sounds familiar, it should because Apple technically introduced Multi-Capture back with iOS 13, but only to third party apps like DoubleTake by Filmic Pro. This would effectively make it a native feature with the camera app, allowing users to shoot with one of the rear cameras and the front one. There's still a lot unknown about this potential iPhone 17 Pro camera feature, like whether the two clips would be merged into one or saved separately, but it definitely would give content creators a new way of capturing video. Additionally, it'll be interesting to see if these simultaneous captures would be locked to certain frame rates and resolutions. One of the earliest iPhone 17 Pro camera rumors that cropped up was Apple could bring a variable aperture, but there's been very little reports about this of late. The claim goes back to a report hinting about Apple's plan to bring a variable aperture to at least one of the iPhone 17 models, which I'd suspect at this point would be the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Variable apertures aren't new in the world of phones, as they've been featured before in other devices, but this would be the first for an iPhone. The average person might not really think much about a variable aperture, but it could give users more control of their shooting. For example, you would have more control over the depth of field — allowing for everything to be in focus in the shot, or choosing certain areas and blurring out the rest. There's a lot of creative ways a variable aperture could help out, but given how Apple has consistently locked down settings, like the shutter speed and ISO, I'm not as confident that it'll become a reality. Although, it could ultimately come to the iPhone 18.
