Anticipated Pricing, Design, Specs, and Other Features of iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max in India Revealed
Apple is set to unveil its latest iPhone 17 lineup in August 2025, according to recent leaks and rumors. The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to undergo significant design changes, boasting upgraded specs and new pricing details.
### Design Changes
The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are rumored to revert to a combination of titanium and aluminium, marking a departure from the full titanium body used in previous iterations like the iPhone 16 and 15 Pro. This mix would give the phone a two-tone effect with a glow-like finish.
The camera module will feature a bar on the back, housing the cameras, LiDAR sensor, and flash, with these components pushed to one side for a new aesthetic and possibly improved functionality. A new special edition "sky blue" color is expected for the Pro and Pro Max models, expanding the more vibrant color palette.
### Specs
The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to have a 6.3-inch display, an increase from the iPhone 16 Pro's 6.1-inch screen, matching the larger base iPhone 17 size. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will maintain a 6.9-inch display, similar to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. There's speculation that all iPhone 17 models, including the Pro and Pro Max, will adopt a 120Hz ProMotion display, a first for the non-Pro models, alongside possibly adding an always-on display feature to the base iPhone 17.
A significant upgrade to 12GB of RAM is expected across all iPhone 17 models, compared to 8GB in the iPhone 16 lineup. This is likely to support new AI and intelligence features. Unfortunately, plans for a more scratch-resistant and antireflective coating on the display have reportedly been scrapped due to manufacturing issues.
### Expected Pricing
There are no precise pricing leaks yet, but given Apple's usual pricing patterns and the new premium materials combined with upgraded specs, the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will likely be priced similarly or slightly higher than their iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max predecessors.
### Release Timing
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to launch around August 2025.
While the iPhone 17 Air or Slim is not mentioned to have any specific details about its chip, RAM, or camera in this paragraph, it is expected to be part of the iPhone 17 lineup. The iPhone 17 Pro models will likely have a hybrid back, combining aluminium at the top for durability and glass at the bottom to support wireless charging. They will be powered by a new A19 Pro chip, built on TSMC's advanced 3nm process.
These changes indicate a focus by Apple on enhancing materials, screen size, performance, cooling, and design aesthetics for the iPhone 17 Pro series. Further details about the iPhone 17 series, including the iPhone 17 Pro Max's significant camera upgrade, a potential narrower Dynamic Island, and the base iPhone 17's specifics, are still emerging and will be covered as more information becomes available.
