iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro launching on 9 September: Price, display and more

Apple is poised to unveil its highly anticipated iPhone 17 series during the upcoming ‘Awe Dropping’ event on September 9. This launch promises to be a significant event for the tech giant, introducing four new iPhone models alongside a range of accessories. Leading up to the launch, speculation surrounding the pricing and features of the iPhone 17 series has been rampant. The new devices are expected to maintain a similar design to their predecessors but will likely feature significant upgrades. The introduction of the A19 processor and a ProMotion 120Hz LTPO display are among the most talked-about enhancements. All four models in the lineup are rumored to include an upgraded 24MP selfie camera, designed to deliver better image quality and enable 2x cropping without losing detail. The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are anticipated to showcase a new horizontal camera bar and a sleek aluminum-and-glass body, moving away from the titanium frame used in the previous models. According to leaks, the Pro variants might be powered by the new A19 Pro silicon, leveraging TSMC's advanced 3nm process technology. Additionally, reports suggest a potential increase in RAM, with both Pro models likely featuring 12GB, an upgrade from the 8GB found in last year's iPhone 16 series. Moreover, the telephoto lens on these models is expected to see an enhancement, with a shift to 48MP resolution. As for the pricing, there remains uncertainty about the starting price of the iPhone 17. Some leaks indicate a possible $50 increase due to rising component costs linked to recent tariffs imposed by the US government. However, there are also suggestions that the base price could remain at $799. Should this be the case, the iPhone 17's starting price in India could be around ₹79,990. For the Pro models, analysts predict a potential price hike, which may place the iPhone 17 Pro at approximately $1,049 and the Pro Max at $1,249. In India, these models could be priced at ₹1,24,990 and ₹1,49,990, respectively. Stay tuned for more details on the iPhone 17 series, including features, pricing, and the launch event.
