Apple iPhone 17 release date: Check out the expected specifications, price, and new leaks
Apple enthusiasts are particularly eyeing the debut of the iPhone 17 Air, a slim, design‑focused handset poised to replace the Plus variant and the solid entry‑level iPhone 17 that's rumoured to carry the same display as its Pro counterpart.
Backed by the powerful A19 chipset, upgraded front and rear cameras, and sleek new colour options, the iPhone 17 series is set to redefine Apple's flagship reputation. Stay tuned—it's poised to set a fresh benchmark for premium smartphones this year.
iPhone 17 expected release date
According to several sources, the phone would go on sale in India on September 9, 2025. Five colors—Ultramarine, Black, Pink, White, and Teal—will be offered. According to rumors, we might see two additional colors: green and purple.
iPhone 17 expected specifications
The Apple iPhone 17 will feature a dual rear camera configuration, similar to the one seen in its predecessor, with a 48MP primary camera and a 12MP secondary camera. However, the iPhone 17 will feature a 24MP selfie camera rather than the 12MP one we saw last year, indicating that the front camera will be improved.
The gadget will have an Apple A18 processor and 8GB of RAM. The fact that one of the devices in the series would use a chip from the previous year could be a huge turn-off for Apple fans. A ProMotion display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz might also be seen. Additionally, a slight increase in display size is anticipated
iPhone 17 expected price
The 128GB storage model of the Apple iPhone 17 will retail for about 79,999 when it first launches in the Indian market. Readers should be aware that reliable sources have not verified the pricing.

Samsung could supply custom displays for Apple's crease-free foldable iPhone: Kuo
Apple's long-anticipated foldable iPhone may feature a game-changing 'crease-free' display, thanks to a custom solution being developed by Samsung Display, according to noted supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. As reported byMacRumors, Apple's foldable iPhone, slated for mass production in the latter half of 2026, is expected to feature a custom-designed metal plate to manage the stress generated during screen folding. This innovation aims to tackle the persistent issue of visible creases seen in current foldable smartphones. The metal plate will reportedly be sourced mainly from Fine M-Tec, a supplier already linked to components used in Samsung's foldable displays. Curiously, Samsung's latest foldable flagship, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, still displays a noticeable crease along its inner screen, even though it also incorporates metal plates from Fine M-Tec. This has sparked speculation that Samsung Display may be working on a bespoke display solution designed specifically for Apple, prompting questions about why similar technology hasn't been introduced in Samsung's own foldable lineup. According to Kuo, Apple's upcoming alleged foldable will sport a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer screen, complemented by two rear cameras, a single front-facing camera, and a power button integrated with Touch ID, a notable departure from the Face ID technology found in most recent iPhones. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman earlier reported that Apple is prioritising a high-quality hinge mechanism, which could further help in minimising or even eradicating the central crease, a feature often criticised in rival devices. Physically, the foldable iPhone is expected to measure 4.5mm in thickness when open, and around 9 to 9.5mm when folded. While this would make it marginally bulkier than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 (which measures 4.2mm unfolded and 8.9mm folded), Apple appears to be focusing on durability and display integrity rather than shaving off millimetres. The move could represent Apple's most significant foray into the foldable market, and if the crease-free claim holds true, it could set a new benchmark in the segment.

Additionally, Meta has invested $14 billion in Scale AI to secure high-quality training data, a critical element in building next-gen AI systems.

Apple iPhone 17 processor leaked again; the phone is now tipped to come with A19
Apple iPhone 17 may come powered by A19 chipset , according to an investor note shared by Apple analyst Jeff Pu (via MacRumlours). "We now expect the iPhone 17 model to be equipped with A19 (vs. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now earlier expectation of A18)," Pu said in the note. The analyst further states that the rumoured slim model – iPhone 17 Air will also run the same processor. While the Pro models – iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will likely be powered by 19 Pro chipset. Apple is likely to unveil the iPhone 17 series at a September event later this year. According to reports, Apple may bring some key display changes across all models. A new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo claims Apple is planning thinner bezels, a redesigned Dynamic Island, and ProMotion support for all models in the lineup. Apple may unveil slimmer iPhone 17 Air This year, the Cupertino-based company is rumoured to replace the Plus variant with an all-new Air model. Likely to be called Apple iPhone 17 Air, the smartphone is said to come in the lightest shade of blue Apple has ever introduced. According to fresh Weibo tipster Fixed Focus Digital, iPhone 17 Air may be offered in super-pale colour that could look nearly white in certain lighting. The colour is expected to be part of four new colourways for the ultra-thin model. The tipster claims that the light blue iPhone 17 Air will be even paler than the blue found on the iPhone 15 series. It's so subtle, it might appear completely white under normal lighting conditions — similar to Samsung's Silverblue shade seen on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The iPhone 17 Air could feature a 120Hz refresh rate display — a first for Apple's non-Pro iPhones. However, unlike the ProMotion display tech seen in the Pro lineup, this version may not support variable refresh rate, possibly to preserve battery life. The handset may come powered by A19 chipset and run on the latest iOS 26 operating system.
