iPhone 17 & 17 Pro Leaks: Design, Specs, 'Air' Model, Price & Release Date India
KhabriDose.com Tech Desk: iPhone 17 & 17 Pro – Leaked Details Hint at Major Overhauls and a Slim New ‘Air’ Model
Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh – June 28, 2025 – As the highly anticipated September 2025 launch of Apple’s next-generation iPhones draws closer, a flurry of leaks and rumors has painted a detailed picture of what to expect from the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro series. From a radical design departure for the Pro models to a potentially ultra-thin “iPhone 17 Air,” it appears Apple is preparing some significant shifts.
Redesigned Aesthetics and a Slim Newcomer:
The most striking rumors revolve around the design. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are tipped for a noticeable revamp, potentially featuring a half-glass, half-aluminum rear casing and a redesigned camera module. Instead of the familiar square bump, leaks suggest a wider, rectangular camera island that stretches horizontally across the back, reminiscent of some Android flagships. There are also whispers of an aluminum frame making a comeback for the Pro models, a departure from the titanium used in recent iterations. A new Sky Blue color option is also rumored.
Perhaps the biggest surprise is the rumored introduction of an “iPhone 17 Air” model, potentially replacing the “Plus” series. This new variant is expected to be Apple’s slimmest iPhone ever, with a profile reportedly around 5.5-6mm. While this promises an incredibly sleek design, it also raises concerns about potential battery compromises.
Display Upgrades Across the Board:
Display sizes are expected to see some adjustments. The standard iPhone 17 is rumored to get a slight bump from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches, bringing it in line with the iPhone 17 Pro. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is likely to retain its large 6.9-inch display. Crucially, all iPhone 17 Pro models are finally expected to feature 120Hz ProMotion displays, offering a smoother user experience. There are also reports that the standard iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air could also receive the 120Hz LTPO OLED treatment, a significant upgrade for the non-Pro lineup.
Powering the Next Generation: A19 Chipset and RAM Boosts:
Under the hood, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are anticipated to be powered by Apple’s next-generation A19 Pro chipset, built on an enhanced 3nm process. This is expected to deliver improvements in efficiency and overall performance. The base iPhone 17 and the new iPhone 17 Air may, however, continue to use the A18 chip, the same one found in the current iPhone 16 series.
Memory is also getting a boost, with rumors suggesting the iPhone 17 Pro Max could finally feature 12GB of RAM, while other models might receive 8GB. This increase is crucial for smoother multitasking and handling increasingly complex AI features.
Camera Enhancements and Battery Considerations:
Camera advancements are a given with each iPhone generation. The iPhone 17 is likely to feature a 48-megapixel main camera in a dual-lens system. The Pro Max could see a significant upgrade to a triple 48-megapixel setup for wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses, potentially marking the first time all three rear cameras are 48MP on a single iPhone. 8K video recording is also a strong possibility for the Pro Max. All four iPhone 17 models are rumored to receive an upgraded 24-megapixel front-facing camera, a notable leap from the current 12MP.
Battery sizes are expected to see slight increases across the iPhone 17 series, particularly for the base model due to its larger display. There’s also talk of 35W fast charging support, a welcome improvement, though still behind some Android competitors. To combat potential overheating during intensive tasks, the Pro Max is rumored to incorporate a vapor chamber cooling system. The ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, however, might house a smaller battery, with reports suggesting a 2,800mAh capacity, potentially similar to the iPhone 12.
Anticipated Release and Pricing:
Following Apple’s traditional release schedule, the iPhone 17 series is widely expected to be unveiled around mid-September 2025, with pre-orders opening shortly after and devices hitting shelves a week later.
As for pricing, early speculation suggests the base iPhone 17 could start around ₹89,900 in India, with the iPhone 17 Air potentially priced slightly higher. The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to be in the range of ₹1,44,990, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max could command prices upwards of ₹1,69,990, depending on storage configurations.
While these details are based on leaks and industry analyst predictions, they offer an exciting glimpse into Apple’s 2025 iPhone lineup. We await official confirmation from Apple during their customary September event. Stay tuned to KhabriDose.com for all the breaking news and official announcements!
