Apple is gearing up to unveil its next-generation iPhone 17 series, with a launch expected in September. Among the new lineup, the highlight will be the introduction of the iPhone 17 Air—an ultra-slim, lightweight, and more budget-friendly model that will replace the previously offered Plus variant.
The upcoming series will include:
- iPhone 17
- iPhone 17 Pro
- iPhone 17 Pro Max
- iPhone 17 Air
While the Pro models will sit in the premium segment with advanced features, the Air variant aims to offer a sleek, affordable alternative for a broader user base.
Pro Models to Feature Major Upgrades
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to share several high-end specs, with differences primarily in display size and RAM capacity. According to popular tech YouTuber Technical Guruji (23M+ subscribers), who reviewed dummy models, the size contrast is immediately noticeable:
- iPhone 17 Pro: 6.3-inch ProMotion Retina display
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: 6.9-inch ProMotion Retina display
Both devices will be powered by the new Apple A19 Pro chipset, expected to bring a significant performance boost. RAM is anticipated to go up to 12GB in the Pro models, making them ideal for power users and creators.
Camera and Design Highlights
As per early reports and dummy unit analysis:
- Triple rear camera setup (Primary, Telephoto, Ultra-wide): All 48MP
- Front camera: Likely 24MP for sharper selfies
- Buttons: Power and camera control on one side; Action and volume buttons on the other
- Charging port: USB-C replaces Lightning
One design change that stands out: the rear camera unit on both Pro models now reaches up to the top edge of the phone, a noticeable shift from previous generations.
Battery and Charging
The iPhone 17 series will feature larger batteries compared to the iPhone 16 lineup, promising longer usage. All models will come with USB-C ports, aligning with global regulatory trends.
Price Expectations and Availability
Due to global economic factors and recent shifts in U.S. trade policies, Apple may hike prices across its flagship models. Reports suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro Max could exceed $2,300 in certain international markets.
