Apple iPhone 17 series: iPhone 17 Air to ProMotion display, everything we know so far
With just a few months to go before Apple officially unveils the iPhone 17 series, the rumour mill is already speculating what the upcoming smartphones might bring to the table. In the last few months, numerous leaks have hinted that this will be the year Apple will bring one of the biggest updates to the iPhone's design since the iPhone X. If you are curious to know more about the iPhone 17 series, from camera to design, here's everything we know so far. Like last year, we expect Apple to unveil four models in 2025 – the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the brand new iPhone 17 Air. Öwing to poor sales, several tipsters have hinted that Apple might be done with the 'Plus' model and replace it with a Galaxy S25 Edge-like slim device. As for the screen size, the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max will have the same screen size as their predecessors, which means we might see 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch OLED screens on these models. And while the new iPhone 17 Air is said to have a 6.6-inch screen, Apple might bump up the screen size of the vanilla iPhone 17 from 6.1-inch to 6.3-inch to match it with the iPhone 17 Pro. Previously, rumour had it that the iPhone 17 Air would be more expensive than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, but now it looks like the new model will sit somewhere in the middle. Another huge change is that all models in the iPhone 17 series are expected to get ProMotion displays, which means even the vanilla iPhone 17 will have an LTPO OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. As for the Pro models, Apple might be planning to ditch titanium for aluminium for increased durability. Some rumours suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max will have a redesigned Google Pixel-like horizontally aligned camera island that stretches across the width of the phone. This design change is also expected to make its way to other models in the series. Apple is also reportedly working on a 24MP selfie shooter for all models. Coming to the Pro models, rumour has it that Apple's upcoming phones will have an upgraded 48MP telephoto sensor, but it looks like there won't be any change to the main and ultra-wide sensors. Talking of the much anticipated iPhone 17 Air, which is said to be 'significantly thinner' than the current gen iPhone models, measuring just 5mm to 6mm in thickness without the camera bump. Coming to the performance, the iPhone 17 series won't likely be getting TSMC's 2nm chips, but the upcoming A19 silicon based on TSMC's 3nm process is said to offer significant performance upgrades. Like every year, the iPhone 17 will most likely be powered by the A19 chip while the iPhone 17 Pro models may get a much powerful A19 Pro chip. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to start from $899, which is what Apple sells the iPhone 16 Plus for. However, the vanilla iPhone 17 and the Pro models might see a price bump because of Trump's ongoing tariff war.

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 Max vs Pixel 10 Pro XL: Main differences to expect
We are just months until Apple once again does the trick where it announces new iPhones, and you're immediately roughly $1,000 lighter. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will definitely be the most likely candidate for your hard-earned cash. But what if you're an Android fan, one that rates Google's phones higher than the rest? Well, you're in for a good time, as Google is largely expected to undercut Apple and release its Pixel in August. The Pixel 10 Pro XL is the one that will carry the best specs on a regular phone. Both devices are expected to carry minor updates over their predecessors. Neither will revolutionize the experience, and honestly speaking, we don't feel that either one needs any major changes in the first place. But which one should you consider, and which one should find its place in your pocket? iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Pixel 10 Pro XL expected differences: Table of Contents: Design Display Performance Camera Battery Specs Summary The iPhone 17 Pro Max will retain the general shape and form of previous large iPhones, utilizing a premium titanium frame with the all-encompassing flat design language. However, as Apple strives to differentiate the newer models from the older ones, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will get a larger camera island at the rear, a rectangular-shaped on rather than a squarish one. This new design language applies to all models except for the regular iPhone (Image Credit-Weibo) That will bring the iPhone closer to the Pixel 10 lineup in terms of design. Yes, the Pixel 10 Pro XL will have a similar camera strip at the back, but slightly more compact. In fact, we don't really expect any major changes to hit the Pixel 10 Pro XL, so it will most likely look exactly like the Pixel 9 Pro XL: aluminum frame and matte glass back. We could possibly get new color variations, too. Size-wise, we expect the iPhone 17 Pro Max to be the thicker device here, with a projected thickness of 8.73 mm. The Pixel 10 Pro XL will be ever-so-slightly thinner at around 8.5 mm, but we challenge you to notice this minor difference in real life. iPhone 17 Pro Max render (Image Credit-@asherdipps The iPhone will continue to be the device with more variety in the button lineup. The Action Button and the Camera Controls key are returning this fall, while the Pixel 10 Pro XL will possibly score no extra buttons rather than the standard volume/power button combo. Color-wise, we expect the iPhone 17 Pro Max to be available in Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural Titanium, and one extra color. The Pixel might come in Midnight, Iris, and two vivid colors. Display Differences We don't expect any display size increases on either device. So, don't be surprised if the iPhone 17 Pro Max rolls out with a 6.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR screen with thin bezels, while the Pixel 10 Pro XL comes with a 6.8-inch Super Actua one with slightly thicker bezels. Both phones will be OLED ones, with high-resolution, excellent color accuracy, the sharpness to match, and peak brightness nearing 3,000 nits. That would actually be a massive improvement for the iPhone. Most previous iPhone Pro Max devices maxed out at around 2,000 nits, so this increase will be palpable, most likely. We've heard that Apple might employ a slightly smaller Dynamic Island notch up front thanks to using smaller and more space-efficient elements, which would increase the screen real estate. However, we doubt In terms of biometrics, the Pixel 10 Pro XL will continue Google's affair with ultrasonic fingerprint scanners, while Apple is unlikely to move away from the well-established Face ID system right now. Apple's iPhone 17 Pro Max will be the third device to employ a 3nm chipset. The upcoming A19 Pro chip will surely increase the upper limits of mobile performance, just as most of its predecessors. We expect nothing short of superb raw performance, as well as even better efficiency than before, which will hopefully improve battery life even further. Meanwhile, significant changes are coming to the Pixel 10 lineup. It will be the first time Google uses a custom-made Tensor chip manufactured by TSMC on its 3nm process and will finally break away from the Exynos blueprint that was used to make all previous Tensor chips. This could finally give us the major performance improvement we've desired on the Pixel lineup. In terms of memory and storage, which also add up to the performance, the iPhone 17 Pro Max could arrive with 12GB of RAM, a major increase over the 8GB one on previous jumbo iPhones. The reason could be trivial: more headroom is needed to ensure the smooth on-device Apple Intelligence processing for years to come. Apple might want to ensure that the phone will run its AI processes smooth for as long as it's supported. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will likely feature three storage versions: 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. The Pixel 10 Pro XL, on the other hand, will come with either 12 or 16GB of RAM, and while most of Google's AI processing is done in the cloud, having more of the vital hardware component has never hurt anybody. We expect the Pixel to allow an entry-level version with slightly less storage, some 128GB. The Pixel 10 Pro XL 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 Max will arrive 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. iOS 26 also scores many other changes––read more about them here. Both phones will employ triple camera setups at the back, and they have never been closer in terms of specs. The iPhone will continue to use a 48MP main camera and a 48MP ultrawide, just as the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but the periscope is possibly also getting a 48MP camera upgrade. That one will max out at 5X optical zoom, but Apple might achieve significantly more powerful and longer hybrid zoom thanks to in-sensor cropping with the periscope. Who knows, we might get up to 50X zoom with the next iPhone. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is possibly getting setup similar to the Pixel 9 Pro XL . This essentially means a 50MP main camera, a 48MP ultrawide, a 48MP periscope with 5X zoom, and a high-res 42MP front-facing camera. Not too bad, and given Google's acumen in image-processing, we are likely getting one very potent cameraphone! An upgrade is expected at the front of the iPhone 17 Pro Max . To commemorate the slimming of the Dynamic Island, Apple is reportedly increasing the resolution of the FaceTime camera from 12 to 24MP. The Pixel 10 Pro XL will likely remain a 42MP one, so the resolution advantage could be Google's. The iPhone might finally score 8K video-recording, despite the low demand for this feature. The Pixel could possibly also score 8K video-recording: the sensor that was featured on the Pixel 9 Pro XL was already capable of doing that, but the functionality was likely dropped due to heat concerns. We don't expect significantly larger silicon-carbon batteries on either phone, let's get this straight from the get-go. Both will likely score minimal increase (or decrease) to their battery sizes. Last year's iPhone 16 Pro Max featured the largest battery ever fitted on an iPhone. At 4,685 mAh, it pushed the limits for Apple. Could we get another record this year? Well, possibly, but don't expect a major increase. Something under 100 or even 50 mAh is more believable. The same applies to the Pixel 10 Pro XL. We don't expect Google to put a battery significantly larger than the one on the Pixel 9 Pro XL , and this one came with a 5,000 mAh one. Charging-wise, the iPhone will likely repeat the charging configuration of the iPhone 16 Pro Max , with 27W wired charging (that could jump to 40W in certain scenarios) and 25W MagSafe 2.0. No changes are expected for the Google flagship: 37W wired and 23W wireless charging. The latter will possibly be Qi2-ready, meaning MagSafe for Android, but there won't be any magnets embedded in the phone itself. Instead, Google will put the magnets in the protective cases for the range, which is definitely a workaround. Apple and Google are cooking, but the dishes might not blow you away. Sure, they will be tastier, but nothing our palates haven't experienced before. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will continue honing its super-premium design with a potent hardware setup that's perfectly suited for the upcoming iOS 26 update. A new camera strip at the rear could summarize most of the major changes here. In Google's camp, the changes could be even less on the outside, but a massive internal shift towards a fully custom 3nm Tensor chip could be the biggest upgrade the Pixel lineup has seen in years.

iPhone 17 could get a display upgrade — but still be inferior to the iPhone 17 Pro
Display rumors for the iPhone 17 series have pointed to a major screen upgrade for the basic models this year. But leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo has made a new claim that makes us question how good this upgrade will actually be. According to a translated version of his new post, DCS claims that the iPhone 17 series will have "high refresh rates across the board." However, in response to a commenter's question about the standard iPhone 17, DCS says to "lower your expectations appropriately," which is a caveat we've not seen in previous rumors. We have heard for a while that the iPhone 17 will supposedly be the first non-Pro iPhone to get a 120Hz display. But based on what DCS is saying, the 120Hz screen of the iPhone 17 (and presumably the iPhone 17 Air) won't be the same as the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max's version. This could mean that the iPhone 17 won't get the more battery-efficient adaptive ProMotion refresh rate that the Pro models have. Another option is that the iPhone 17 will get a display refresh rate increase, but to a lower number like 90Hz. That would offer some additional smoothness over current basic iPhones, but not as much as a Pro model. Whatever does end up happening, it still sounds like the end of 60Hz iPhones is a lock. And it comes not a moment too soon considering how the vast majority of Android phones of all prices already moved to high refresh rate displays years ago. The second part of Digital Chat Station's leak tells us about the power of the A19 Pro chip that's expected to drive the iPhone 17 Pro models. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The A19 Pro will apparently be a 3nm chipset like the A18 and A18 Pro chips inside the iPhone 16 series, but will score over 4,000 points on the Geekbench 6 single-core CPU benchmark, and over 10,000 on the multi-core version. In our testing, the iPhone 16 Pro managed 3,400 and 8,391 on Geekbench 6, meaning the iPhone 17 Pro would see at least a 15% increase in power from the previous version if DCS' numbers are correct. This would also likely make the iPhone 17 Pro the most powerful phone on sale when it releases, although this title tends to trade back and forth between Apple and the latest Android flagship phones quickly. For more on the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, check our hubs for the latest leaks and tips. As for the software these phones will run, we know about that already - and you can read all about it in our WWDC 2025 and iOS 26 guides.
