Apple will launch its latest iPhone 17 series in India at 10:30 pm last night. In this lineup, both iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are asked to receive large upgrade from camera to chipset. Along with improving performance, new iPhones can also come with a new design language. If you are excited about the upcoming Pro model, here are the details based on the leak.

iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max: Letiped glasses, upgrade list

Performance, Design Upgradation?

The Pro model is expected to stick to Apple from the size of the screen launched last year. This means that the iPhone 17 Pro can come up with a 6.3 -inch display, while the large Pro Max may have a 6.9 -inch panel. Both Pro and Prof. Max are expected to facilitate bright panels with a difficult anti -reflector coating. All iPhone 17 models are rumored to adopt a 120Hz refresh rate panel, although only the Pro Series can only continue to support features such as adaptive refresh rates for one forever performance.

The overall footprint of the phone is not expected to change much, but the thickness to adjust a large battery may increase slightly. Reports claim that the Pro iPhone 16 can measure 8.725 mm thick at the iPhone 16 Pro compared to 8.25 mm. The major change behind the phone is expected. Apple can leave the titanium frame used in its pro devices and return to aluminum, but with a twist. Instead of the all-glass rear panel, the iPhone 17 Pro series can adopt a half glass, half-aluminum finish. The top part may be aluminum for durability, while the lower half may remain glass to support wireless charging. Some dummy units and CAD render have shown an extended panel design that is running down from the camera area, highlighting this double-content approach.

Another interesting change may be the rear camera collision. Instead of familiar class design, the top part of the Apple device can go for a horizontal rectangular module. This will give the phone a different identity than recent iPhones. The initial case leak also shows a large cutout at the back, indicating how big this new camera setup can be.

Big camera upgrade?

The camera upgrade iPhone 17 Pro is expected to be an attraction of the series. Apple may finally give the telephoto lens a 48-megapixel sensor, which can be included in wide and ultra-wide lenses, which were already upgraded. This will make the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max the first iPhones with three 48-megapixel lenses. While a set of leaks indicates the 3.5x optical zoom (85 mm equivalent), others suggest that Prof. Max may facilitate up to 8X optical zoom, avail its large size. Either way, these changes mean sharp pictures, better crop options and better versatility.

Camera improvement cannot stop there. Reports indicate 8K video recording and even supporting for dual video capture, allowing users to shoot with front and rear cameras at the same time. Apple is also rumored to test a variable aperture on broad camera, which will give photographers more control over light and depth of the area. On the front, all 2025 iPhones, including the Pro model, can get a 24-megapixel selfie camera, double the resolution from the iPhone 16 series.

New powerful chipset?

Beyond the cameras, Apple is promoting a performance. The pro lineup will introduce the A19 Pro chip built on a sophisticated 3Nm process. This is expected to provide better efficiency and speed than the previous model. The devices can come with 12GB of RAM, which will increase from 8GB on the current generation. To handle additional power, the iPhone 17 Pro may also have a vapor chamber cooling for the first time, which should help in heat management during gaming and video recording.

Big battery?

Battery life is another area where Prof. Max can shine. The larger model can take a 5,000mAh battery, the largest of Apple’s largest yet, which will be a step from the 4,676mAh unit in the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Combined with the latest Snapdragon X80 modem of A19 chip and Qualcomm, users can see longer endurance. Charging speed with the support of the QE 2.2 standard is also likely to improve, which allows 25W wireless charging on the third party pad. Reverse wireless charging, which will allow the iPhone to charge items such as airpods or apple watch, is also being tested.

Color, accessories

Apple is also asked to experiment with fresh colors. Leaked components suggest new options, such as a copper-orange finish, with black, silver, gray and dark blue. Another report indicates a special shade inspired by the “liquid glass” theme of iOS 26, which may look different in different lighting conditions. Some leaks also suggest that the Apple logo may be slightly lower at the back, possibly due to the reinstated camera module.

The goods can also get a fresh. In cases for iPhone 17 Pro, there are rumors to be cutouts for cords or straps, as well as metal buttons for better response. Apple can also sell your own magnetic crossbody strap to pair with a new phone.

Since all these details are based on leaks, people are advised to take them with a pinch of salt. But, you can stay for India Today Tech for all updates as we will cover the upcoming iPhone 17 event.
