Apple fans, mark your calendars! If history repeats itself, Apple is all set to unveil its next big iPhone lineup — the iPhone 17 series — in the second week of September 2025. The launch could take place between September 11 and 13, with sales likely starting a week later, around September 19.
While Apple hasn’t officially announced anything yet, the tech world is already buzzing with leaks and reports about what the iPhone 17 family will offer. So, what can we expect from Apple’s most awaited release of the year? Let’s dive in.
A Lineup to Watch: New Addition - iPhone 17 Air!
Apple is reportedly introducing five models this year:- iPhone 17
- iPhone 17 Plus
- iPhone 17 Pro
- iPhone 17 Pro Max
- And the all-new iPhone 17 Air, which is rumored to be the thinnest iPhone ever made.
iPhone 17 & 17 Plus: Finally, 120Hz Comes to Base Models
After years of requests, Apple might finally bring its ProMotion 120Hz display to the regular iPhone models. This means smoother scrolling, better gaming, and an overall more fluid experience — a huge upgrade from the standard 60Hz screens on previous base models.Screen sizes are expected to be slightly adjusted:
- iPhone 17: ~6.27 inches
- iPhone 17 Plus: ~6.55 inches
On the camera front, we might see a new 24MP front-facing camera, a noticeable jump from the iPhone 16’s 12MP selfie shooter. Expect better selfies and improved low-light shots.
Performance-wise, the iPhone 17 and 17 Plus will likely retain the A18 chip and 8GB RAM, similar to the current iPhone 16 series — good enough for most users.
iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max: Built for Power Users
The Pro models are where Apple is expected to push the limits. Both the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max could be powered by the all-new A19 Pro chip, based on TSMC’s 3nm process, promising better performance and energy efficiency.These models might also bump up to 12GB of RAM, ideal for multitasking and future-proofing your phone for the next several years.
Big things are expected on the camera side too:
- A triple 48MP camera setup on the back.
- A new 24MP front camera.
- Improved telephoto lens, possibly optimized for Apple’s Vision Pro AR/VR headset.
Design-wise, Apple might introduce:
- A slimmer, redesigned aluminum body.
- A smaller Dynamic Island thanks to a compact Face ID system.
- And an Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip for faster internet.
iPhone 17 Air: Slim, Stylish & Smart
Here’s the one everyone’s curious about — the iPhone 17 Air.It’s rumored to be Apple’s slimmest iPhone yet, with a thickness somewhere between 5.5mm and 6.25mm. That’s thinner than any iPhone ever released!
The Air might feature:
- A 6.6-inch OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion.
- A single 48MP rear camera with variable aperture (great for photography).
- A high-quality 24MP front camera.
Despite its slim profile, Apple might manage to pack in a high-density battery with 35W fast charging, and for the first time, an Apple-designed 5G modem for faster and more efficient connectivity.
What’s even better? The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be eco-friendly, with a 100% recycled aluminum body and sustainable packaging.
Expected Prices (India & US)
Here’s a rough idea of what each model might cost:- iPhone 17: ₹79,900 (approx)
- iPhone 17 Air: $899–$999 (~₹75,000–₹85,000)
- iPhone 17 Pro: ₹1,19,900 (similar to current Pro models)
Of course, final pricing will depend on storage options and regional taxes, but these ballpark figures give us a general sense.
