The possibility of the launch of the iPhone 17 series is just three months away and the latest leak has revealed a lot about what Apple can offer with its next generation iPhones. Although the company has not officially confirmed the date, Apple has generally announced new iPhones in September, so the iPhone 17 lineup is expected to come within the first two weeks of that month. While most of the attention remains on official unveiling, many major details around design, camera, battery and performance features have already leaked online.

iPhone 17 launch: Price, design, battery, camera and everything else expected

One of the greatest upgrades can be in the front camera. Apple is rumored to work on a 24-megapixel selfie camera for the iPhone 17, which will be a noticeable leap from the 12-megapixel sensor seen on the current model. This can be clear and more wide selfie. The 48-megapixel main sensor behind the iPhone 17 is expected, while the advanced zoom lens is asked to be limited to the pro model. For those watching the top-end variants, the iPhone 17 Pro Max has been touched to bring three 48-megapixel camera-wide, ultra-wide and telephoto-with support for 8K video recording. If this happens, it will first mark that the Apple Triple uses 48MP cameras and provides 8K videos on the iPhone.

In terms of design, regular iPhone 17 can not look very different from the iPhone 16. It is likely to keep the USB-C port and action button. But the pro model can go for a more modern design with a new rectangular camera module that is spread in the rear panel, and a soft edges for a cleaner appearance. There is also a new model called iPhone 17 Air, which can change the plus version and be one of the thinning iPhones with a 2 mm thin body compared to 16 Pro.

The screen size is expected to see some changes. The standard iPhone 17 may come with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display than the 6.1-inch screen on iPhone 16. The iPhone 17 Air can offer a 6.6-inch display, while Prof. Max can maintain its huge 6.9-inch screen. A major improvement can come as promotion technology available in all models, meaning that users may eventually get a 120Hz refresh rate on non-pro variants. This should result in smooth animation and better video playback. Leaks also suggest that the Apple may add an anti -reforator coating to the screen to appear more in bright sunlight.

Battery and charging improvements are also expected. While the exact battery capabilities have not yet been leaked, the larger screen suggests that Apple can go for a larger battery than before. At the end of Apple, 35W is also likely to go into fast charging, which will be faster than the previous model, although still some Android phones are not as early. This may mean that overall top-up and better battery life.

Other reports claim that the Apple may make some changes under the hood, especially in the Pro model. The iPhone 17 Pro Max can come up with better heat management, possibly to keep the device cool during heavy use using a new vapor chamber system and graphite layers. For performance, the pro model is expected to be operated by the next generation chip, possibly the A19 Pro, while the standard iPhone 17 can stick to the A18 chip from last year. RAM on Pro Max can go up to 12GB, while the base model can offer up to 8GB.

With the expectation of so many changes in the lineup, Apple is preparing for a major refresh this year. The possibility of accurate pricing and availability will be closer to launch, but if the previous trends have to do anything, the iPhone 17 series should hit the store immediately after the announcement in September.

While leak has mostly indicated that prices may not rise for the new model, a new counterpoint research report states that the iPhone 17 series may lead to a price increase due to the new American tariff affecting the overall production costs. Therefore, it is not clear at present that 2025 iPhones will cost the same as old phones or they will become even more expensive. To remember, the iPhone 16 series was launched in India with an initial price of Rs 79,999.
