Apple hasn’t officially announced the iPhone 17 prices in India yet. However, reports suggest the base iPhone 17 could start at around Rs 79,900, while the iPhone 17 Pro might be priced above Rs 1,29,900.

iPhone 17 Specifications (Expected)
It is expected to come with the ProMotion 120Hz via LTPO OLED, a 6.1–6.3-inch display, an A19 chip, about 8GB RAM, Wi‑Fi 7, and Apple’s C1 5G modem. On the photography front, the premium smartphone may come with dual 48MP rear cameras (Wide + Ultra Wide), with broader Apple Intelligence features in latest iOS update.

For selfies and quality videos, there is an upgraded 24MP shooter at the front. On the battery front, the iPhone 17 should benefit from efficiency gains rather than a major capacity bump, with design tweaks aligning it more closely to the Pro look.
iPhone 17 Pro Specifications (Expected)
The Pro is expected to use Apple’s A19 Pro chip, step up to 12GB RAM, add Wi‑Fi 7, and continue with LTPO 120Hz displays around 6.3 inches. The device may come with a vapor‑chamber cooling for sustained performance and on‑device AI workloads. On the camera front, the upgrades may include a 24MP front camera and a triple 48MP rear array (Wide, Ultra Wide, Telephoto), potentially with mechanical aperture improvements and 5x optical zoom, packaged in a refreshed design with narrower bezels.
iPhone 17 Pro Max Specifications (Expected)
The top model likely carries the A19 Pro, 12GB RAM, Wi‑Fi 7, the largest LTPO 120Hz display around 6.9 inches. It may come with the most advanced camera system which include the triple 48MP sensors with Tetraprism telephoto and improved video, alongside the 24MP selfie camera. Some rumors point to larger battery capacity than prior Pro Max and enhanced thermal design, plus material tweaks to the chassis and back for durability and weight balance.
iPhone 17 Air Specifications (Expected)
It is positioned as the ultra‑thin model replacing the Plus, the Air is rumored to feature a very slim chassis (as thin as 5.5–6.3mm in parts), a large 6.6–6.7‑inch LTPO OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion. On the optics front, the device comes with a single 48MP rear camera paired with a 24MP shooter at the front.
The iPhone 17 Air is likely to run on an A19‑series chip and possibly Apple’s in‑house C1 5G modem. Reports suggest the iPhone 17 series may feature 8GB RAM, 256GB and 512GB storage options, and a smaller 2,800mAh battery. However, actual battery life will depend on LTPO display efficiency and chip performance improvements.
