iPhone 17 Series Design Leaks Ahead of Apple September 9 Launch
Every new iPhone launch by Apple is like a celebration, and this time all eyes are fixed on the upcoming iPhone 17 series. Leaks and rumours ahead of Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event on September 9 have further increased the excitement of tech lovers. Reports are saying that this time Apple is going to introduce a new member in its lineup – iPhone 17 Air – which will replace the old Plus model. These new changes are going to give a fresh identity to Apple’s flagship phones.
iPhone 17 Series: Major Upgrade to Design
This time Apple is taking bold steps in terms of design. The biggest attraction of the iPhone 17 Air is its ultra-slim design, which will be just 5.5mm thin. Despite such a slim body, Apple has given it a large 6.6-inch OLED display, which is going to give users a premium and immersive viewing experience. Talking about the camera setup, the Air variant will have a single rear camera that will come with a distinct camera hump, making it different from the rest of the models.
Talking about the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, leaks say that these models will have a familiar design, but with a big camera hump that will cover the entire top half. Apart from this, new bold colour options – orange and dark blue – are going to give users a fresh and stylish look. Interestingly, Apple could replace titanium with aluminium in the Pro models to reduce weight and improve usability. The standard iPhone 17 will be quite similar to the iPhone 16 design-wise, but will look fresh with the new colour schemes.
iPhone 17 Series: Major Spec Bumps

The iPhone 17 series will not disappoint users, even in the world of specs. First of all, a major upgrade has been given in the display. Now the vanilla iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air will get 120Hz OLED panels, which were previously limited to only the Pro models. The display in iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will be quite advanced, with a variable refresh rate ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz. This feature will improve the smoothness and battery efficiency of the phone.
On the other hand, the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air will be powered by the new upgraded A19 chipset. It will have a 5-core GPU and 8GB of RAM, which will make gaming and multitasking even faster and seamless. The Pro models will use the A19 Pro chipset that will have a 6-core GPU and higher clock speeds, that will create a beastly experience for power users.
On the software front, all the models will launch with a stable version of iOS 26 that will have a “Liquid Glass” design theme. When it comes to battery life, the iPhone 17 Air will seem to compromise a bit as it can only have a 2900mAh battery. While maintaining the slim design, the battery capacity will be less, which raises questions about all-day performance. Improvements in stamina, along with a slightly bigger battery are expected in the Pro and regular variants.
iPhone 17 Series Expected Prices
When it comes to Apple, pricing is always a hot topic. According to industry experts, component costs and supply chain issues could lead to a hike in prices this time. The starting price of the base iPhone 17 could now be Rs 89,999, which is Rs 10,000 more than the old generation.
The new iPhone 17 Air could launch at around Rs 99,999 and will be a premium yet value-centric option compared to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. The Pro models will also come to market with premium pricing. The starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro could be Rs 1,45,000, and the standard 256GB storage variant will be available. The base model of the iPhone 17 Pro Max could go up to Rs 1,64,999, which will be the ultimate flagship for hardcore Apple fans.

Every generation is an evolution for Apple, and this time the iPhone 17 series is becoming a complete package with a mix of design, specs and features. While this may not be a must-upgrade for iPhone 16 or iPhone 15 users, for those who have older iPhones or are planning to switch, this series will be a strong contender.
Every year, Apple’s new innovations set the direction of the smartphone industry, and this time too, leaks and rumours are hinting that the iPhone 17 series is going to set a new standard. With slim design, high refresh rate displays, powerful processors and premium colour options, Apple is ready to capture the market once again.
