Apple's iPhone 17 series to come with all-new design

As we approach closer to September, key features and price details of the new iPhones have begun to surface online.

In the latest report, iPhone 17 series is expected to make its global debut in the second week of September.

Like the previous iterations, Apple is said to unveil at least four models of the iPhone 17 series. However, this time, there will be a special iPhone 17 variant, which is expected to be called either iPhone 17 Slim or iPhone 17 Air.

The iPhone 17 Air is touted to succeed the iPhone 16 Plus model. As the name suggests, it will sport a super slim design with just 5.5mm thickness. Due to the design limitation, Apple may remove the physical SIM slot.

It is expected to feature a 6.55-inch display, and Apple is said to incorporate a new kind of high-energy-density battery cell, which can store more power and occupy less space than compared to conventional phone batteries used in the current crop of premium phones.

The camera design of iPhone Pro variants has remained pretty much the same since the big change in iPhone 11 Pro in 2019. Latest visuals of leaked iPhone 17 models show that they will come with an all-new refreshing camera module design.

They will occupy the whole top slot on the back and retain the uniqueness of the iPhone.

Even the iPhone 17 Air will have a different camera design compared to the iPhone 16 Plus. It will feature a horizontally aligned long capsule with a single main camera sensor on the left side and the LED flash on the opposite side. Whereas the regular iPhone 17 model will have a vertically aligned module with dual-camera sensors and LED flash, same as the iPhone 16.

Apple will use an OLED display with Pro Motion technology on all four iPhone 17 variants. They will also support a 120Hz refresh rate. And, they will come with A19 series silicon.

The standard iPhone 17 and 17 Air may feature watered-down A19 chipsets, whereas the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will have more cores in the A19 Pro silicon.

The prices of iPhone 17, 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to start at Rs 79,900, Rs 89,900, Rs 1, 19,900 and Rs 1,44,900, respectively.
