Are you also waiting to upgrade your iPhone, or do you want to make a purchase? So, this article is for you.
Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 17 model in mid-September this year. Sources suggest that the new series will be presented on September 9, 2025. If the company keeps up its previous pattern, the pre-orders could start on September 12, and it is guessed that most probably the phones could be available for purchase in the stores by September 19.
What Updates are Expected?
The source shows that the update will be seen on three series of the iPhone 17 model. These include the iPhone 17 Air, which will be thinner and lighter, the iPhone 17 Pro, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which will prioritise high performance and advanced functionality of the camera.
These models are supposed to operate on iOS 26, thus being the latest operating system of Apple. The update will be able to add AI-enabled features, privacy features, and more customizations to make the phone fit your daily requirements. Be it app order or more intelligent alerting, the new system may bring further ease to iPhone users.
Design and Colors
Apple might also introduce a fresh set of colors this year. Reports suggest new options like Light Gold, Dark Blue, and Pastel Pink will be available across the range. For those looking for something bold, a special Papaya Orange color may be launched just for the Pro Max model.
Expected Pricing
- iPhone 17 Air: Around $799
- iPhone 17 Pro: Around $999
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: Up to $1199
While the prices are similar to past models, there could be some changes due to global trade issues. It is expected to be around a $50 increase in the base model, which is around 4000 in the Indian market.
Impact of Tariffs
Former US President Donald Trump has imposed a 50 percent tariff on products imported from countries like India and Brazil. The production might increase because Apple manufactures most of its parts in these countries. This would influence the price of iPhones in the market, and would particularly affect sales in those countries where the phones are already affected by high taxes and other duties.
What to Expect Next?
Apple has not said anything officially yet, but according to the past launches and recent leaks, the announcement is coming our way very soon. Along with the iPhone 17 series arrival, the upgraded version may be seen for the AirPods, carrying a decent combination of design development, software updates, and unrevealed features that will be worth waiting for.
