iPhone 17, Air, Pro leaks: Price, battery, design, launch date, and everything else expected
Apple's next iPhone 17 series is expected to launch in September 2025, which is almost two months away. The lineup is likely to include the regular iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and a new model called the iPhone 17 Air. From camera improvements to a fresh design for the Pro models and better performance, the upcoming iPhones could bring one of the biggest changes Apple has made in recent years. Here is a look at the leaked battery, display, chipset, camera and design details. While the launch date is still under wraps, we will also look at the potential 17, Air, Pro leaks: Price, battery, design, launch date, and everything elseNew design and Air model expectedWhile the iPhone 17 may continue with the design introduced on the iPhone 16, including the Action Button and USB-C port, the Pro models are said to look a bit different this time. Leaks suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max could get rounded edges and a new rectangular camera module that covers a larger area on the back, similar to the Pixel 9 new iPhone 17 Air could replace the Plus version and is said to be Apple's thinnest iPhone yet. It may come with a 6.6-inch screen and offer a slimmer body than the iPhone 16 Pro. The regular iPhone 17 might get a slightly larger screen too, from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches. The Pro Max could retain the 6.9-inch size. There are also talks that all models might get a 120Hz refresh rate display this time, which was earlier limited to the Pro changes likely on the wayadvertisement One of the big changes could be seen in the front camera. Apple may upgrade the selfie camera from 12-megapixel to 24-megapixel across the lineup for sharper and more detailed selfies. On the back, the regular iPhone 17 is expected to have a 48-megapixel main sensor in a dual camera setup. The iPhone 17 Pro Max could offer three 48-megapixel cameras – wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto. This would be the first time Apple introduces triple 48-megapixel cameras on an iPhone. Apple might also bring 8K video recording support on the top-end battery and charging improvements?The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max could be powered by Apple's new A19 Pro chip, while the base model may continue with the A18 chip seen on the iPhone 16. If Apple offers the standard iPhone 17 model with the old chip, it could receive heavy criticism, similar to what happened with the iPhone 14 smartphone. This one, too, offered the same chip as the iPhone 13. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is also expected to get up to 12GB RAM, while other models may come with life could improve too, as Apple might increase battery sizes slightly across the series. This is likely to happen with the standard model because of the bigger display size that is rumoured for it. Additionally, fast charging could finally get a bump with 35W support, though this would still be slower than what many Android phones already offer. A better cooling system using a vapour chamber might also be added to the Pro Max for smoother performance during heavy 17, Air, Pro, Pro Max: Is there a launch date yet?advertisementApple hasn't officially announced anything yet. But going by past patterns, the iPhone 17 series will likely be launched in September 2025. It could happen in the second week of this month, something which we have seen happening in the past. Pre-orders and availability are expected to follow soon after. There is also talk of a cheaper iPhone 17e model, which is tipped to arrive in early 17, Air, Pro: Leaked price details and what could changeThe base iPhone 17 is expected to start at around Rs 79,999 in India, similar to previous models. This is also because the device is rumoured to pack an old chip. But the new iPhone 17 Air could carry a slightly higher price, possibly starting at the price of the current Plus model (if we go by the leaks). So, if this is the case, then the 17 Air could cost around Rs 89,999. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max may see a price hike of at least Rs 5,000 due to rising manufacturing costs and global factors like since Apple is now making many of its iPhones in India, pricing here might remain more stable compared to other countries. While nothing is confirmed yet, the final pricing will likely depend on the hardware upgrades and how Apple adjusts its supply chain globally.

iPhone 17 Pro vs iPhone 16 Pro: 7 big upgrades expected
iPhone 17 Pro vs iPhone 16 Pro: 7 big upgrades expected By Ankita Garg Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup around September 2025. Ahead of the launch, several leaks have surfaced, hinting at notable upgrades over the current iPhone 16 Pro models. Here are the details, which are based on leaks as well as rumours. Intro Photo generated using AI The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to pack the new A19 Pro chip, an upgrade over the A18 Pro seen in its predecessor. Chipset Photo : Apple Hub The iPhone 17 Pro is rumoured to feature a new vapor chamber cooling system for better heat management during heavy use. New cooling system? Interestingly, Apple may switch back to an aluminum frame for the iPhone 17 Pro, moving away from the premium Grade 5 titanium used in the 16 Pro. While this could help with weight reduction, it may be seen as a step down in terms of durability and finish. Design The iPhone 17 Pro is likely to get a major redesign at the back, with leaks hinting at a large rectangular camera module that spans almost edge-to-edge, a change from the square layout seen on the iPhone 16 Pro. A fresh look? Photo : Front Page Tech The iPhone 17 Pro could feature a 48MP telephoto sensor, replacing the 12MP periscope zoom camera used in the iPhone 16 Pro. However, optical zoom is said to be limited to 3.5x this time, slightly lower than the 5x zoom capability of the 16 Pro. Camera Photo : @Asherdipps Apple is expected to bump up the RAM to 12GB on the iPhone 17 Pro, up from 8GB on the iPhone 16 Pro. This should improve multitasking and boost performance during heavy tasks like gaming or video editing. Also Read: iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro review: Kings in waiting RAM

Apple iPhone 17 Pro vs Google Pixel 10 Pro: Main differences to expect
In just two months' time, we will see what Apple and Google have been preparing in secret over the past few months. In mid-to-late August, we expect Google to introduce the Pixel 10 series, with the Pixel 10 Pro being the sensible and compact, but still well-equipped flagship offering. Just a few weeks later, the iPhone 17 generation is coming, with the iPhone 17 Pro destined to be the compact top flagship. How would these two compare? As usual, these premium phones will be rivals in the flagship space, but they wouldn't divert too much from the course set by their predecessors. That's to say that we don't really expect any truly major changes with either device. That's okay, though, as we don't feel either Apple or Google have to resort to such revolutionary changes anyway. iPhone 17 Pro vs Pixel 10 Pro expected differences: Table of Contents: Design Display Performance Camera Battery Specs Summary Neither Apple nor Google are looking to move away from the now standard flat design language. With completely flat panels and sides, the two devices will use the same design language as their predecessors. No problem with that, honestly, as the two look super premium and lovely. The iPhone 17 Pro will likely continue utilizing a titanium frame; some rumors called for a return to aluminum, but we are not convinced Apple will downgrade the iPhone in such a way. Aluminum, however, will remain the metal of choice on the Pixel 10 Pro , it seems. This new design language applies to all models except for the regular iPhone (Image Credit-Weibo) One major style change that's coming to the iPhone 17 Pro is one that will surely rustle some feathers. The Pro models are getting a redesigned rear camera bar, which evokes strong resemblance to the Pixel's signature rear camera strip. However, the iPhone's take on this design style is set to be way more imposing, occupying nearly a third of the phone's rear. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro isn't making any sudden moves in the design section, so we anticipate the phone will look just like the Pixel 9 Pro. We see no problem with that, it's the best the Pixel has looked in years. We expect the two devices to be mostly similar in terms of thickness, in the ballpark of 8.3-8.5 mm, with the iPhone technically shaping up to be thinner, but the difference will hardly be noticeable in real life. When it comes to the rest of the dimensions, the iPhone will still technically remain the more compact phone, poised to be shorter, narrower, and lighter. iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max render (Image Credit-@asherdipps We will be getting a customizable Action Button on the iPhone 17 Pro, as well as the novel Capture Button, which lets you control the camera and engage Visual Intelligence. No such buttons are expected on the Android champ, which will retain the standard volume/power button combo. Color-wise, we expect the iPhone 17 Pro to be available in Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural Titanium, and an extra color. The Pixel 10 Pro , on the other hand, could be available in Midnight, Iris, and two other extra colors. Display Differences No major differences are expected to come to either phone's screen. Both are very likely to keep their 6.3-inch screens, which strike a decent compromise between overall size and, so no size increase on either device. The iPhone's likely to retain the slimmer bezels, which will make for a more premium look. This means we are getting a 6.3-inch Liquid Retina XDR screen on the iPhone 17 Pro, with 120Hz ProMotion and possibly a peak brightness increase to 3,000 nits, up from 2,000 nits. As typical for Apple, the display will most certainly utilize a Samsung panel and exhibit excellent color accuracy properties. The same applies to the Pixel 10 Pro as well. The 6.3-inch Super Actua OLED screen will also get a 120Hz refresh rate, slightly thicker bezels, and the same super-high peak brightness of around 3,000 nits. There's the possibility of Apple using a slightly smaller Dynamic Island notch thanks to using smaller Face ID and camera elements, which would boost the screen real estate. In terms of biometrics, the Pixel 10 Pro will likely come with an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, while Apple is set to continue using the signature Face ID biometrics. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will use the 3nm Apple A19 Pro chipset. It will be the third generation of Apple's 3nm chips, so we expect exceptional performance and efficiency. As is befitting for Apple. A major shift is likely coming to the Pixel 10 Pro , though. Google is expected to finally come with a truly custom Tensor G5 chipset, one built by TSMC on its own 3nm manufacturing process. Until now, Google had to rely on Samsung and use the same Exynos architecture as Samsung, but the Tensor G5 could finally put an end to that and unlock the true potential of Google's chips. We expect the iPhone 17 Pro is coming wiht 12GB of RAM, an increase over the previous 8GB of RAM, likely to accommodate the upcoming needs for AI. For the same reasons, the Pixel 10 Pro is likely coming with either 12 or 16GB of RAM. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will likely feature three storage versions: 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB, while the Pixel 10 Pro is likely featuring 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB versions. The Pixel 10 Pro will arrive with Android 16 and will be supported for seven years. This software update will score a major Material 3 Expressive redesign in early September, likely coinciding with the Pixel 10 launch, and will freshen up the aesthetics of the OS. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro will ship with iOS 26 , a software update that should have been called iOS 19, but for consistency's sake, Apple renamed all of its operating systems. This one also comes with a redesign, dubbed Liquid Glass, and it's consistent across all platforms. The iOS 26 update will also introduce many other changes––read more about them here. With the iPhone 17 Pro, Apple is likely upgrading the periscope camera. Just like the wide and ultrawide cameras, Apple is putting a high-res 48MP sensor behind the periscope camera. This means we get triple 48MP cameras here. However, rumors also claim that Apple is reducing the optical zoom reach from 5X down to 3.5X. While this may sound like a downgrade, we shouldn't forget that Apple could resort to in-sensor cropping to achieve longer zoom levels. This is what most other manufacturers do when using high-res telephoto cameras, so while the native zoom isn't that long, the quality when zooming is significantly improved. The Pixel 10 Pro is likely inheriting the same camera setup as the Pixel 9 Pro : a 50MP main camera, a 48MP ultrawide, a 48MP periscope with 5X zoom, and a high-res 42MP front-facing camera. One new feature reportedly coming to the Pixel is an improved macro mode, which will be using the telephoto camera. Apple is also reportedly improving the resolution of the FaceTime camera from 12MP to 24MP. That's still less impressive than the 42MP selfie camera that's coming to the Pixel 10 Pro , though. We expect that, once again, neither Apple nor Google will make big improvements in terms of the battery here. We're likely getting batteries in the same ballpark as the two phones' predecessors: a roughly 3,600mAh battery for the iPhone 17 Pro and a larger 4,700mAh one for the Pixel 10 Pro . When it comes to charging, expect no changes from Apple. The iPhone is getting 27W wired charging (that could jump to 40W in certain scenarios) and 25W MagSafe 2.0. The same will possibly apply to the Pixel 10 Pro as well: 37W wired and 23W wireless charging. Although the Pixel won't have MagSafe magnets embedded, Google is reportedly planning a line of cases with magnets that will be compatible with MagSafe accessories. The iPhone 17 Pro and the Pixel 10 Pro will reiterate the successful moves of all their predecessors, which will inevitably make them some of the hottest phones on the market this fall. This is why neither could be keen on changing up the formula too much, and that's fine. This year, it appears that the iPhone and the Pixel will be closer than ever in terms of specs and features, so the battle will be more and more fierce.

iPhone 17 Pro launch: Big camera upgrades we want Apple to deliver
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17 series in just a few months, in September. So far, there have been a multitude of tips and industry leaks which have given us a brief understanding of what the iPhone 17 series will look like, especially the iPhone 17 Pro models with their purported back design. The iPhone 17 Pro is tipped to feature big camera upgrades, as this is one area that many new buyers always expect Apple to deliver on; and rightly so, considering how reliable the iPhone's cameras have been over the years. Now, having said that, let us tell you about some of the biggest upgrades we hope Apple brings to the table with the iPhone 17 Pro, which would make for a much better experience compared to the iPhone 16 Pro. Read on. Photographic styles can be accessed using the camera control button and include looks such as Blue's Gold Standard, Amber, Rose Gold, Neutral, Cool, Rose, Vibrant, Natural, Luminous, Dramatic, Quiet, Cosy, Ethereal, Muted Black and White, and Stark Black and White. Now, most of these looks are certainly quite pleasing, but while Apple gives you the ability to tweak them, including undertones and how much intensity a particular style has, the customisation is somewhat limited. We would want Apple to bring more elements, like the ability to add grain or even a predefined white balance. This is especially relevant considering how popular film emulation is becoming these days. With the iPhone 16 Pro models, you get a 5x, 12-megapixel telephoto Tetaprism camera. While it is not bad by any means and does result in some beautiful-looking portraits, it could certainly be better. We feel that a focal length between 3x and 4x (equivalent to 85mm) is ideal for portraits, as you do not have to move back a lot. Considering more people use telephoto lenses to shoot portraits rather than to zoom in a lot, a 3.5x telephoto lens would be ideal. This is especially true if Apple decides to include a higher-resolution sensor, such as a 48-megapixel sensor, which has also been rumoured in various reports. This could allow for optical-quality zoom in the same way Apple achieves it with the 2x option on the current iPhone. As good as the iPhone camera is, there are still no manual controls. We would want Apple to include basic functionality, such as being able to adjust the ISO, white balance, and shutter speed, and to switch between manual and autofocus. This would give users much more control, which is especially important given the fact that many iPhone buyers are creators who enjoy taking photos and videos. Nowadays, while the cameras have become very good and detailed, we have noticed that iPhone photos can tend to look a little flat. Over the years, Apple has boosted the shadows a lot, which results in a flat look. We understand that this is ideal for the dynamic range, but sometimes it can look a bit too perfect. In a way, we would want Apple to bring back contrast and dial back the shadows a bit. This would create a much more natural and contrasty look. Yes, you can, of course, do this in post-production, but having a look available directly in the camera makes for a much better experience.

iPhone 17 Pro: 5 big reasons not to buy the iPhone 16 Pro right now
If you're in the market for a new flagship iPhone, you have two options right now: either the iPhone 16 Pro or the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and depending on your size preferences, you can choose accordingly. They are identical devices with the same set of cameras, barring the battery and screen sizes. However, if you're not in a hurry to buy a new iPhone and can wait a couple of months, the iPhone 17 series is just on the horizon. Yes, now that it is already mid-June, there are two and a half months until September, which is the month Apple annually releases its new iPhones. Having said that, the iPhone 17 series could bring major upgrades compared to the iPhone 16 Pro models. Here are a few reasons why you should definitely hold out on purchasing an iPhone now and wait for the next-generation mode. The iPhone 16 Pro resembles the iPhone 15 Pro. In fact, you won't be able to tell them apart if you buy them in the natural titanium or the black titanium colourway. Apple has followed more or less the same design language for several years now, having debuted the triple-camera layout design with the iPhone 11 Pro. Since then, there have been only incremental upgrades when Apple switched to flat sides and a flat back with the iPhone 12 series. With the iPhone 17 Pro, Apple is expected to release a much larger camera module, which could extend all the way to the right of the phone, and this could give the phone a unique look. So, if you want new aesthetics, you should definitely hold out. Well, while the A18 Pro SOC found in the iPhone 16 Pro models is no slouch, it has notably been beaten by the Snapdragon 8 Elite in synthetic benchmarks. Now, based on recent reports and tips, the A19 Pro SOC could finally bridge this gap and allow for a score that's anywhere around 4,000+ for single-core and 10,000+ for multi-core. This could be a big jump from the iPhone 16 Pro. Apple is expected to debut a new 48-megapixel telephoto camera. This could notably be an upgrade to the 12-megapixel 5x tetraprism camera found on the iPhone 16 Pro models. There could be fundamental differences with this lens, however, and reports suggest that this could offer 3.5x focal zoom. However, despite the reduction in zoom range, the higher megapixel count could allow for lossless zooming, similar to how Apple does it with the primary sensor's 2x zoom. All iPhone 16 series models currently come with 8 GB of RAM, including the pro models. However, Apple could upgrade the RAM with the iPhone 17 models, and the pro models are certainly expected to get 12 GB of RAM, as reported by Jeff Pu. It's just a couple of months until the iPhone 17 series is launched, so if you can wait it out, you should definitely wait it out, as you will end up with a much newer phone compared to the iPhone 16 Pro, which will be almost a year old soon. Secondly, if you buy an iPhone 16 Pro now and then decide to upgrade to the iPhone 17 Pro models, you won't get a good resale value for your iPhone 16 Pro if you decide to sell it for the iPhone 17 Pro, as it would be a generation old.
