Apple is anticipated to unveil its iPhone 17 series—comprising the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max—sometime in September. While earlier reports hinted that the regular iPhone 17 would be powered by the A18 chip, analyst Jeff Pu now suggests it will instead debut with a brand-new ‘A19 Pro’ processor.
On the other hand, the Pro and Pro Max variants are rumored to come equipped with the high-performance A19 Pro chip. Additionally, the entire lineup is expected to incorporate Apple’s in-house Wi-Fi 7 chip, pointing to a significant boost in both speed and wireless capabilities.
Recently, a Weibo user operating under the name Fixed Focus Digital claimed that the iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature Apple’s A19 Pro chipset rather than the standard A19. However, according to the post, the A19 Pro in the iPhone 17 Air will include a 5-core GPU, while the same chip in the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max is anticipated to come with a 6-core GPU configuration.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max launch date:
In his latest Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman hinted that Apple fans should keep the week of September 8 free, as it’s expected to be the timeframe when the next iPhone series will be officially revealed and become available for purchase.
Gurman pointed out that Apple usually debuts its iPhones shortly after Labor Day, which lands on September 1 this year. This pattern suggests that the company is likely to hold its launch event the week after. Such a schedule would be in line with Apple’s usual release strategy.
As reported by MacRumors, Apple has unveiled new iPhones during the second week of September in nine of the past ten years. The sole deviation from this trend occurred in 2020, when the pandemic disrupted the company’s typical launch timeline.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max India price:
Preliminary leaks suggest that the base model of the iPhone 17 could be priced around Rs 89,900 in India. Meanwhile, the newly introduced iPhone 17 Air is expected to carry a price tag of approximately Rs 99,900. As for the premium variants, the iPhone 17 Pro may retail for about Rs 1,39,900, while the flagship iPhone 17 Pro Max could be available for roughly Rs 1,64,900. If these projections hold true, it seems Apple is maintaining its usual pricing approach for the next generation of iPhones.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max colour options:
Apple seems to be adding a vibrant touch to its upcoming iPhone lineup. According to well-known leaker Majin Bu, the Sky Blue shade recently introduced with the latest MacBook Air could make its way to the rumored iPhone 17 Air later this year.
Meanwhile, another source posting as “yeux1122” on the Korean platform Naver claims that accessory makers have already started producing camera ring covers in colors that align with the expected finishes of the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air.
These early production choices offer a glimpse into Apple’s potential color palette. The standard iPhone 17 is rumored to arrive in five hues: black, silver, blue, green, and purple—reinforcing earlier reports that Apple has been experimenting with eco-friendly color technologies.
