Along with four models- iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max-Line-Up is rumored to bring a smooth design refinement, powerful hardware improvement and a mixture of the state-of-the-art camera technology.

Let us look deeply on what to expect from Apple’s next generation flagship smartphone.

A four-model line-up with a new entry

After the tradition of the last few years, this time also, Apple is expected to launch four models. However, this time the iPhone Plus will have a new entry. The new generation of iPhone line-up will include: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The iPhone 17 Air is called a new model stationed between Aadhaar and Pro variants. According to the leak, the air variant will focus on design and portability, aiming to make it the thinnest iPhone with Apple.

Performance: Promotion for all

Over the years, one of the greatest criticisms is obtained for the Apple iPhone base model, lack of high fresh rate performance. But Apple may eventually change it in 2025. Apple is widely expected to bring a 120Hz promotion display in all iPhone 17 models – not only the Pro variant. Always combined with display support, this upgrade should increase the overall accountability and liquidity for everything from scrolling to gaming on the iPhone 17.

Meanwhile, all models are also a matter of a better anti-anti-scratch and scratch-resistant coating, which will improve visibility in bright sunlight and increase durability without the need of a screen guard.

Design Twixes to be subtle and bold

While the base iPhone 17 is expected to maintain the overall design language as the iPhone 16-including the USB-C port and action button-it can get a new matte finish that provides better grip and resistance to smudges.

The biggest design shift on Pro model is expected to come. Apple familiar square camera can change the bump with full-width, rectangular aluminum camera bar. According to the leak, this change may allow the pro model to offer better heat wastage and cleaner aesthetics, and can offer more balanced in-hand feel due to weight distribution.

Performance with A19 and A19 Pro Chips

Under the hood, Apple is likely to introduce two new chipsets: A19 for iPhone 17 and 17 Air, and more powerful A19 Pro for iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. While the accurate specifications wrap, the chips are expected to provide better AI capabilities on the current A18 series chip of the iPhone 16 series, better thermal management and performance-wattic efficiency.

The iPhone 17 series of RAM is also rumored to promote. The iPhone 17 and 17 air is expected to be shipped with 8GB of RAM, while the Pro model can have 12GB of RAM feature – the first for iPhones. This boost, if it comes, will greatly improve multitasking and performance in the pro model, especially with Apple Intelligence features expected to be more deeply integrated into iOS.

Camera upgrade across the board

In terms of photography, in rumors, the iPhone 17 series will provide one of the most wide camera upgrade in recent memory. All models are expected to receive a 24-megapixel front camera from 12-megapixel, resulting in a quite fast selfie and better video calls.

At the back, the iPhone 17 and 17 Air will have a single 48-megapixel sensor. The iPhone is said to have just one sensor in the iPhone 17, while the base iPhone 17 is to live with a two-camera setup.

Meanwhile, the pro model, a triple 48-megapixel setup-wide, is rumored for the convenience of ultra-wide and telephoto-Prof. offers a focal length equal to 85 mm for better portrait shots with Max.

Interestingly, the optical zoom can be reduced slightly lower to 3.5x, the Apple can introduce 7x “defective” digital zoom through advanced in-sensor cropping. Even speculation that Pro Max can support 8K video recording, which is first for Apple’s smartphone line-up. In fact, according to Gurman, Apple wants the camera of the iPhone 17 Pro to be of a professional level, so that users can rely on iPhones for their professional videography work.

Battery and charging expectations

Although accurate battery capabilities are unknown, it is likely that the Apple line-up will increase the battery size, especially since the displays are growing. Additionally, the iPhone 17 series may eventually support 35W wired fast charging – improve the 30W range of previous generation.

Although it is still behind some Android contestants, Apple can focus more on battery health and longevity than alone charging speed alone.

iPhone 17 series required price and availability

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series between 11 and 13 September 2025. Prices are likely to see a slight collision, especially due to production costs and global trade stress. The new chain base can start from Rs 89,900 for the base iPhone 17, for the Pro Max variants up to Rs 1,64,900.
