Apple is ready to launch the iPhone 17 series at the end of this year, with leaks with major design and performance upgrade. High anticipated iPhone 17 from air to extended performance and powerful new chips in lineups, here is a look that Apple is expected to bring.
Listen to the story

Apple’s iPhone launch is always in the discussion, eagerly waiting to see Apple’s latest innovations with fans and technical enthusiasts. This year, the company is expected to unveil its iPhone 17 series. Although we are still months away from the official launch, the initial leaks and reports are already shaking enthusiasm around possible upgradation.
As usual, Apple is tight-tanged about its next-gene iPhones, but the analyst indicates a fairly fresh line-up-a slimmer iPhone 17 air, a bold new camera design for the pro model and a major performance improvement. If these rumors are true, it can be Apple’s most important iPhone overhaul over the years.
Let us inform us about what we know so far, what is expected from iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is based on render and leaks.
IPhone 17 air entry
Apple is now stuck on a four-model strategy for a few years, but this time, there is a twist. While we are still expecting four iPhones this year, reports show that instead of iPhone Plus, Apple is allegedly offering a brand-new iPhone 17 Air. After following the footsteps of other air devices- iPad Air and MacBook Air-iPhone Air are also likely to reach the base iPhone 17 and Pro variants as a smooth, ultra-slop model.
As the Apple iPhone will offer with 17 Air, leaks suggest that it will be the thinnest iPhone ever. It can measure between 5 mm and 6.25 mm thick – it can also make it slimmer compared to the iPad Pro. On the front, there will be a 6.6 -inch display.
According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple iPhone 16 Plus is not happy with sales, and is planning to take a different view. Therefore, with the iPhone 17 Air, the company can focus its focus on portability and offer a new iPhone designed to be mild, packing powerful hardware.
The iPhone 17 Air can also become Apple’s answer for users who want a big screen without bulk. But will it renounce battery life or camera performance? We have to wait and see.
Promotion for all?
One of the most frequent criticisms of Apple’s non-ex-iPhones has been a lack of high-rifles-rate display. But with the new iPhone 17 series, Apple is probably planning to replace it. This year, we can see 120Hz promotion in all models, can bring smooth scrolling and gaming to iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Additionally, on the display side, Apple can always introduce-on-on display (AOD)-the iPhone is available at 14 Pro and later across the entire line-up. The display is also said that the iPhone 17 is getting 6.3-inch and Prof. Max is getting a 6.9-inch screen.
Meanwhile, rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 base model will get a better anti-scratch and scratch-resistant coating, which will help reduce the dazzle and increase the need for screen protectors.
These display upgrades will be large for users who do not want to pay Pro Prices for just a smooth screen and better visuals. And of course, 120Hz refresh rates – which iPhone users are often mocked to disappear by Android users – may finally be standard.
Design can be subtle for twics base, bold for iPhone Pro
Now that the iPhone 17 Plus is allegedly being scored, the camera for the iPhone 17 Air will change a little – soon more on it. But for the base model, Apple can keep the same as the iPhone 16, which includes USB-C and action buttons.
Both models are expected to get a new matte finish for better grip from both models and to get smug resistance on the back.
Now coming in Pro models – Apple is asked to focus too much on cameras, and this time the upgrade will also change the design. Apple is rumored to dig a square camera bump for a full-width aluminum camera bar. This can allow for better heat wast, a smooth look and better weight delivery.
Performance with A19 and A19 Pro Chips
Apple’s next-round chips are always a highlight, and the iPhone 17 series will probably not be disappointed.
After the tradition of launching two chips for the base and pro model, this year we are expecting two new processors:
– Rapid with better AI capabilities, iphone 17 and 17 in the air for more efficient performance.
-The iphone 17 Pro and A19 Pro in Pro Max for even more power for propo-level tasks.
12 GB RAM for Pro model
Not only a powerful chip – iPhone 17 series model is also likely to be promoted in RAM:
– Base Model: 8GB RAM (above 6GB in iPhone 16).
– Pro model: 12 GB RAM can be obtained – first for iPhone.
This upgrade multitasking and Apple Intelligence (AI) will further carry forward Apple’s flagship to handle the features, which will make the iPhone even more capable.
Big camera upgrade
Apple is allegedly going to improve the camera this year. The front-faceing camera on all models is expected to jump from 12-megapixels to 24-megapixel, which offers sharper selfie and better-quality video calls.
For the rear cameras, the iPhone 17 and 17 air is rumored to live with a 48-megapixel main sensor, although there can be only one rear camera in the air- an agreement for slim design. But Apple is expected to make it with its computational photography.
However, the Pro model is getting a major boost with a triple 48-megapixel setup, which is, ultra-wide and telephoto lens. Pro Max may also include a lens equal to 85 mm for better portrait shots. While the optical zoom can be reduced slightly lower up to 3.5x, Apple can introduce 7x “defective” digital zoom through advanced processing.
Even speculation that the iPhone 17 Pro Max may support 8K video recording, can location Pro as a true competitor for professional cameras to align with Apple’s ambition to give place to Pro. If these rumors exit, the iPhone 17 can become a Go-to compact tool for videographers and photographers.
Battery and charging
With a large screen in line-up, Apple can increase the capacity of the battery throughout the board. The charging speed can also see a modest collision, with a rumor for all models of 35W wired fast charging (above 30W).
iPhone 17 series price and launch
Apple usually unveils its new iPhones in mid -September, and this year should not be separated. The iPhone 17 is expected to be launched between series 11 and 13 September 2025.
For pricing, rising production costs may increase slightly from ongoing global economic refers. The iPhone can start on May 17 from around Rs 89,900, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max can climb up to Rs 1,64,900.
