iPhone 17, Air, Pro and Pro Max: Launch timeline and specs leak ahead of Apple event

7 hours ago

Apple's next flagship smartphone line-up, the iPhone 17 series, is expected to be officially unveiled on 9 September, according to a report by German publicationiPhone-ticker.de. The report, citing local mobile phone providers, claims that Apple will hold its next major launch event in line with its usual September timeline, a pattern the company has followed for several years.
The iPhone 17 series is expected to include four models: the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. If the leaked schedule holds, pre-orders may open on 12 September, with deliveries and in-store sales likely to commence on 19 September.
While Apple has not officially confirmed the date, the timing corresponds with earlier reports, including insights from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who had previously suggested that the event could fall between 8 and 12 September.
In terms of hardware, the new iPhones are expected to feature upgraded internals. The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air are reported to be powered by the A19 chip, whereas the Pro models could be equipped with a higher-end A19 Pro chipset. Display sizes are also expected to vary: both the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro may feature 6.3-inch screens, the iPhone 17 Air could sport a 6.5-inch display, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max may come with a 6.9-inch screen.
The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, and iPhone 17 Pro are rumoured to be built with an aluminium frame, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max is tipped to continue using a titanium frame, similar to its predecessor.
A modest price increase is anticipated, with all models except the base iPhone 17 expected to cost approximately $50 more than last year's iPhone 16 series, translating to an increase of roughly ₹ 4,000 in the Indian market.
In addition to the iPhone launch, Apple is also likely to announce the third generation of AirPods Pro and updated Apple Watch models during the same event.
As with previous launches, Apple is expected to release further details in the weeks leading up to the event.

Indian Tycoon Sends BLISTERING Message To Trump's ‘Stop Russian Oil' Demand

India Unfazed By Trump Tantrums; Gives This Big Directive To Refiners On Russian Oil Purchase India defies US President Donald Trump's threat on the purchase of oil from Russia. According to a Bloomberg report, citing people familiar with that matter, New Delhi has not issued any directive to its oil refiners to halt purchases of Russian crude. Bloomberg said no official decision has been made to stop imports from Russia. Trump on Wednesday slammed India for continuing to buy most of its military equipment and energy from Russia. Trump also imposed a 25% tariff on India and threatened an additional penalty for its close ties with Moscow.

Opendoor CEO Wants to Make The Most of Meme-Stock Moment

(Bloomberg) -- Opendoor Technologies Inc. was nursing years of losses and grappling with a potential delisting when it became a meme stock. Then, in a matter of days, the real estate company rallied 460%. Chief Executive Officer Carrie Wheeler sees a chance to use newfound interest to her advantage as she tries to reposition the company from one known for flipping suburban abodes to one that offers homeowners a variety of ways to sell. 'It probably wasn't on my bingo card for 2025,' Wheeler said in an interview. 'We want to make sure we harvest this moment.' Wheeler's remarks came as Opendoor reported second-quarter results, a period in which it made money by one measure for the first time in three years. The company posted adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $23 million, beating the average analyst estimate of $17.5 million, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Opendoor pioneered a software-driven approach to flipping homes known as iBuying, which caught on with consumers in the hot housing market that followed early Covid lockdowns. At its peak, the company was acquiring 5,000 homes a month and drawing copycat efforts from well known housing players like Zillow Group Inc., Redfin Corp. and others. The business has been complicated and risky at times, causing some iBuyers to shutter their operations. Rising interest rates also hit the industry hard, slowing the pace of US home sales significantly in the second half of 2022. That August, Opendoor lost money on 42% of its transactions and took a more cautious approach to buying homes in the months that followed. The company has since slimmed down considerably. Two years ago, Opendoor booked more than $3 billion of revenue in the first quarter. The figure was $1.6 billion in the most recent quarter. The stock, which peaked at $35.88 in early 2021, bottomed out this June at 51 cents and Nasdaq warned the company that it could be delisted for failing to maintain a share price of at least $1. Then Canadian hedge fund manager Eric Jackson at EMJ Capital made a series of posts online laying out a bull case for the stock, leading to the recent surge. Opendoor has the ability to sell as much as $200 million in shares 'at the market' — a tactic that meme-stock beneficiaries like GameStop Corp. and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. have used to capitalize on retail interest. Wheeler declined to say whether her firm had tapped its ability to raise money this way. Even before the recent rally, Wheeler was plotting a change in course. Opendoor has expanded efforts to bring real estate agents into its process from the beginning, allowing homeowners to weigh the benefits of a fast, cash sale against a traditional listing process. The company also introduced a product that it calls Cash Plus, in which Opendoor pays a lower price for the home and gives the seller some upside from the proceeds of the resale. 'We see a huge opportunity in front of us,' said Wheeler. 'No one else is trying to change home-selling.' More stories like this are available on
