Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max price in India: Check out the expected specifications, launch timeline, and more
The series promises game-changing upgrades: larger, smoother ProMotion 120 Hz LTPO displays, a new ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air, advanced A19 Pro chipsets, and redesigned camera systems across the range. Market watchers are especially intrigued by the introduction of a horizontal camera bar, heightened selfie performance, and possibly even vapour-chamber cooling in the Pro models.
With pricing in India expected to start around ₹79,900 for the base model and climb to ₹1.65 lakh for the Pro Max, Apple seems poised to redefine premium expectations this fall. Stay tuned to discover how this lineup could reshape the flagship landscape.
iPhone 17 Pro Max launch date in India (Expected)
According to Mark Gurman's most recent Power On newsletter's Q&A section, Apple is anticipated to reveal the iPhone 17 series between September 8 and September 12.
Although Apple loves Tuesdays and holds its launch events after Labour Day, Gurman pointed out that there is a very tiny likelihood that this year's event will occur on September 8 and that it will occur on September 9 or 10.
He said, "Apple typically avoids product announcements on September 11 and doesn't host events on Fridays, so September 12 is out of the question."
iPhone 17 Pro Max expected specifications
The leak, which Forbes reported, suggests that the iPhone 17 Pro Max may have a battery that is nearly 5,000mAh in size, outperforming the current heavyweight, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which has a 4,676mAh battery. That would represent a notable increase in capacity of over 10%.
The widely circulated rumor that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be thicker than its predecessor, going from 8.25mm to roughly 8.725mm, is supporting these allegations. Without significantly changing how the phone feels in the hand, that extra half-millimeter might provide enough room for a larger battery.
Better cameras, faster processors, and more intelligent AI are just a few of Apple's annual improvements, but users still have high expectations for battery life. The battery life of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is now an amazing 33 hours, compared to 29 hours for the iPhone 14 Pro Max and only 20 hours for the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
That figure might rise to 35 hours or more, according Apple analysts, if the iPhone 17 Pro Max gets an additional 300mAh.
According to a MacRumors leak, the iPhone 17 Pro Max (as well as its sister, the iPhone 17 Pro), would include three 48MP rear cameras and an enhanced 24MP front camera in addition to longer battery life. It's interesting to note that there haven't been any significant rumors about the two models' camera capabilities.
With a larger design to accommodate a nearly 5,000mAh battery, the iPhone 17 Pro Max appears to be the lineup's endurance winner, but Apple has not confirmed anything as of yet. Even if other specifications are essentially the same as the Pro version, that might be enough to make it the preferred option for power users.
The countdown to the newest iPhone has begun, with a launch anticipated in a few months.
iPhone 17 Pro Max expected price in India
It is projected that the next Apple iPhone 17 would cost around Rs 89,900, while the iPhone 17 Air will cost close to Rs 99,900. The top-tier iPhone 17 Pro Max may be priced for approximately Rs. 1,64,900, while the iPhone 17 Pro is anticipated to retail for approximately Rs. 1,39,900.

Apple iPad Pro 2025: M5 chip to dual front cameras, check expected upgrades
Apple is reportedly gearing up to launch its next-generation iPad Pro later this year, bringing several key upgrades while maintaining the ultra-slim design of the current model. Although the physical design is expected to remain largely the same, under-the-hood changes could significantly enhance the user experience. These may include a new chip, upgraded wireless connectivity, and more RAM across all models. The iPad Pro M5 is anticipated to launch in September or October 2025. iPad Pro 2025: What to expect M5 chip upgrade According to a report from 9to5Mac, Apple may debut its next-generation M5 chip in the iPad Pro before bringing it to Macs — similar to how the company introduced the M4 chip. This move would mark the most significant upgrade for the flagship iPad, with improvements expected across the central processing unit (CPU), graphic processing unit (GPU), and neural processing unit (NPU). The report also notes that Apple will likely prioritise NPU performance to enable enhanced on-device AI capabilities. Standard 16GB RAM The report adds that Apple could offer 16GB of RAM as the default configuration for all iPad Pro models. Currently, that amount of memory is only available on the 1TB variant of the M4 iPad Pro. However, with the M4 Mac lineup now starting at 16GB, it's likely Apple will align the iPad Pro with the same standard. This upgrade would not only improve multitasking and productivity features but also enable better performance for Apple Intelligence tools introduced in iPadOS 26. Dual front-facing cameras As per Bloomberg, Apple is planning to introduce dual front-facing cameras in the upcoming M5 iPad Pro — one positioned for landscape use and the other for portrait. The current model moved to a landscape-oriented front camera last year, but Apple may now reintroduce a portrait-facing camera to offer more flexibility based on how users prefer to use their iPad. Support for Wi-Fi 7 The next iPad Pro is also expected to support Wi-Fi 7, which will bring enhancements in speed, bandwidth, and latency. The M4 iPad Pro currently supports Wi-Fi 6E, but with Apple having adopted Wi-Fi 7 in the iPhone 16 lineup, it's likely the iPad Pro will follow suit. Ships with iPadOS 26 Apple's 2025 iPad Pro lineup will likely be the first to ship with iPadOS 26, the latest operating system unveiled at WWDC 2025. The update introduces a refreshed 'Liquid Glass' visual design, featuring translucent layers, refined animations, and redesigned icons. Productivity also gets a boost with improved multitasking capabilities. These include a revamped windowing system that lets users resize and reposition apps with macOS-style controls, integrated directly into Stage Manager. A floating universal menu bar provides quick access to app-specific functions. The Preview app debuts on iPad, enabling PDF editing and annotation with Apple Pencil. The Files app is getting smarter with folder pinning, enhanced List views, and background task support for video exports. For content creators and professionals, Apple has added features such as per-app microphone selection, voice isolation, and Local Capture for better conferencing and recordings. Lastly, Apple Intelligence enhancements such as Live Translation and smarter Shortcuts will be available system-wide, further enhancing usability.

Tesla signs chip supply deal with Samsung Electronics, says Elon Musk
On Saturday, Samsung announced a $16.5 billion chip supply deal with a major global company, without naming the client Reuters Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Monday that the US automaker has signed a deal to source chips from Samsung Electronics, a move expected to bolster the South Korean tech giant's loss-making contract manufacturing business. On Saturday, Samsung announced a $16.5 billion chip supply deal with a major global company, without naming the client. It said the customer had requested confidentiality about the details of the deal, which will run through the end of 2033. The deal comes as Samsung faces mounting pressure in the race to produce artificial intelligence chips, where it trails rivals such as TSMC and SK Hynix. This lag has weighed heavily on its profits and share price. Samsung, the world's top memory chip maker, also makes logic chips designed by customers through its foundry business. Pak Yuak, an analyst at Kiwoom Securities, said the latest deal would help reduce losses at Samsung's foundry business, which he estimated exceeded 5 trillion won ($3.63 billion) in the first half of the year. Analysts say Samsung has struggled with the defection of key clients to TSMC for advanced chips. TSMC counts Apple, Nvidia and Qualcomm among its customers. The Samsung-Tesla deal is also significant for South Korea, which is seeking US partnerships in chips and shipbuilding amid last-ditch efforts to reach a trade deal to eliminate or reduce potential 25 per cent US tariffs. Samsung is grappling to boost production yields of its latest 2-nanometer technology, and the order is unlikely to involve the cutting-edge tech, Lee Min-hee, an analyst at BNK Investment & Securities, said. Samsung has been losing market share to TSMC in contract manufacturing, underscoring technological challenges the firm faces in mastering advanced chip manufacturing to attract clients like Apple and Nvidia, analysts said.
