Apple fans, it’s that time of year again! As we get closer to the official iPhone launch this September, exciting leaks and first looks have started rolling in. Today, we dive into everything we know so far about the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup, including the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and the jaw-droppingly thin iPhone 17 Air.
iPhone 17 Series: What’s New?
Starting with the iPhone 17, early mockups show a design very similar to the iPhone 16, with subtle updates. Expect to see it in vibrant colors with a matte glass back. The 6.3-inch Retina display is rumored to get a bump to 120Hz, making scrolling and animations buttery smooth.
Under the hood, the iPhone 17 will pack the Apple A19 chip, 8GB RAM, a 48MP dual camera system, and a 24MP selfie camera. Apple may also improve battery life, though final details depend on the efficiency of the A19 chip. Notably, the mockups show no SIM slot—hinting that US models may go eSIM-only.
iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max: Camera Revolution
Moving up, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max bring a big visual change—especially in the camera department. Both models will feature a triple 48MP camera setup (wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto), with a tetraprism periscope lens for enhanced zoom.
The camera bump extends almost to the phone’s edge, giving it a distinctive new look. The Pro retains the 6.3-inch display, while the Pro Max stretches to 6.9 inches, both with ProMotion 120Hz displays. Inside, the Pro models get an upgrade to the A19 Pro chip and 12GB RAM, promising top-tier performance for power users.
iPhone 17 Air: Razor-Thin Minimalism
Perhaps the most exciting reveal is the iPhone 17 Air. With a rumored 5.4mm thickness, it’s set to be one of the thinnest smartphones ever made. Despite its slim profile, the Air features a 6.6-inch display, sitting perfectly between the base and Pro Max models.
It comes with a single 48MP rear camera and a 24MP selfie camera, along with the signature dynamic island and Face ID. Apple has cleverly stacked multiple layers on the back—glass, lens ring, and lens—to accommodate the camera in such a thin frame. The Air is also powered by the A19 chip, though details on its battery capacity are still under wraps.
Made in India and Pricing
The good news for Indian customers: the iPhone 17 is expected to be made in India, with the Pro models possibly joining the “Made in India” lineup at launch. Pricing is expected to stay in line with the current generation, though where the Air fits—whether it’s closer to the base or Pro models—remains to be seen.
Final Thoughts
The iPhone 17 series is shaping up to be one of the most exciting iPhone launches in years. From the powerhouse Pro models to the ultra-sleek Air, Apple seems ready to deliver something for every kind of user. Whether you’re after cutting-edge cameras, peak performance, or minimalist design, this lineup looks promising.
