Apple is getting ready to release its new iPhone 17 line of phones around the world soon. There will be four different models in the new series: the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Air, the iPhone 17 Pro, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The A19 chip, made using a better 3nm design, is expected to power the iPhone 17 series. The Pro and Pro Max versions will probably have the better A19 Pro chip for better performance. The normal iPhone 17 and 17 Air may use the regular A19 chip or keep the older A18 chip.
- iPhone 17 to Feature Larger 6.3-Inch Display, Leak Suggests
According to a recent leak from China, the upcoming iPhone 17 base model is expected to feature a slightly larger display than its predecessor. Popular tipster Digital Chat Station, known for accurate Apple leaks and followed by over 3 million users on Weibo, revealed that the standard iPhone 17 could come with a 6.3-inch screen. This would mark a noticeable upgrade from the 6.1-inch display on the iPhone 16 base model. While Apple hasn’t confirmed any details yet, this early rumor is already generating buzz among fans eager for the next iPhone release.
- Possible Change in Logo Placement for iPhone 17 Pro
The last time Apple moved the logo was in 2019, when it moved to the middle of the back of the iPhone 11 series. The logo has stayed in the middle since then. But a fresh leak from Apple insider Majin Bu suggests that the logo might relocate again for the iPhone 17 Pro model, according to 9to5Mac. Bu says that the next model’s camera configuration will need the logo to be moved lower on the back panel, possibly near the bottom center below the camera bar.
Bu also said that the iPhone 17 Pro might have a “vapour chamber” cooling technology to help keep it cool, although he wasn’t sure if this was true. It seems that the company is still working on the vapour chamber design and is having some technical problems.
- When does the iPhone 17 series come out
Apple usually shows off its new iPhones around the second week of September, and they usually do it on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. The iPhone 16 came out on Monday, September 9, 2024; the iPhone 15 came out on Tuesday, September 5, 2023; the iPhone 14 came out on Wednesday, September 7, 2022; and the iPhone 13 came out on Tuesday, September 14, 2021.
- Prices of the iPhone 17 series in the USA, UAE, and India:
Apple is probably going to keep the base price of its iPhone models at that level in 2025, sticking to its customary pricing strategy. According to early rumors, the iPhone 17 may retail for Rs 89,900 in India, while the brand-new iPhone 17 Air may cost Rs 99,900. According to rumors, the high-end iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models will cost Rs 1,39,900 and Rs 1,64,900, respectively.
However, as the launch date approaches, the final pricing may be revised upwards because these figures are based on preliminary reports and have not been verified by Apple. Preliminary estimates indicate that the iPhone 17 will retail for about AED 3,799 in the United Arab Emirates and around $899 in the United States.
