iPhone 17 series RAM upgrade
Last year, Apple introduced 8GB RAM for the iPhone 16, iPhone 16e, and iPhone 16 Plus models to bring support for Apple Intelligence with A18 chips. Now, the upcoming iPhone 17 series is also slated for a major RAM upgrade, which may attract buyers. According to a tipster who goes by the name Fixed Focus Digital, the iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to get 12GB of RAM. Whereas, the iPhone 17 model may stick to the 8GB RAM storage as its predecessor.
The same leak was also reported by Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo; however, it is not certain is the base variant will get 8GB or 12GB RAM. The uncertainty was reported due to RAM supply constraints, and also considering the previous generation trend, where all iPhone 16 models offered 8GB of RAM. Now, iPhone 17 Pro models with 12GB RAM and A19 Pro chip could offer even more powerful and efficient performance.

What's more interesting is that the iPhone 17 Air model is also expected to be powered by the A19 chip with 12GB RAM, despite being a Pro model. Therefore, people may have doubts over the smartphone's battery life and camera capabilities, but it may disappoint in terms of performance. Now, we simply have to wait until September to know what Apple has in store with the iPhone 17 series.
Apart from a performance upgrade, Apple is also bringing some camera enhancements. This year, all iPhone 17 models could feature a 24MP selfie camera, and the iPhone 17 Pro models may get a new 48MP periscope lens. The upcoming iPhones have several things in store for users, which will be unveiled later this year.

India Smartphone Market Rises 8% In April-June Amid Robust Macroeconomic Environment
New Delhi: India's smartphone market grew 8 per cent (year-on-year) in volume and 18 per cent in value in the April-June quarter (Q2 2025), marking a solid rebound following a muted Q1, a report said on Wednesday. The iPhone 16 emerged as the most-shipped device in Q2 2025, driven by ongoing promotions, extended EMI options, and improved retail execution, helping Apple register its highest-ever Q2 shipments in India. According to Counterpoint's 'Monthly India Smartphone Tracker', the recovery was driven by a 33 per cent jump (on-year) in new launches, aggressive marketing, and strong performance during summer sales, with brands offering steeper discounts, easy EMIs, and bundled offers especially in the mid and premium segments. "India's smartphone market recovery in Q2 2025 was further supported by an improved macroeconomic environment that boosted consumer confidence and spending. Retail inflation dropped to a six-year low, easing pressure on household budgets, while the central bank's repo rate cuts made financing more accessible,' explained senior research analyst Prachir Singh. Additionally, tax relief measures introduced earlier in the year increased disposable incomes and savings, creating a favourable setup for discretionary purchases, he mentioned. The improving sentiment contributed to the ultra-premium (Rs 45,000 and above) segment's strong 37 per cent YoY growth, making it the fastest-growing price tier. The ultra-premium segment helped the Indian smartphone market record its best-ever Q2 in value terms and highest-ever ASP. Apple and Samsung capitalised on this trend through aggressive affordability initiatives such as trade-in programmes, no-cost EMIs, and limited-period summer discounts, making flagship devices more accessible to aspirational buyers, said the report. "During Q2 2025, both OEMs and channels hosted several sales events, including parallel offline events, which helped some of the OEMs clear existing inventory and push for new launches. Samsung followed as the second-largest brand, supported by aggressive summer promotions on its A and S series and increased traction for its N-1 flagship upgrades, which helped sustain momentum in the mid to premium segments,' said research analyst Shubham Singh. Nothing's Q2 2025 shipments jumped 146 per cent YoY, making it the fastest-growing brand for the sixth consecutive quarter – a feat only achieved by Nothing. The increase was driven by the newly launched CMF Phone 2 Pro and the brand's strong retail expansion efforts. OnePlus' ultra-premium segment grew 75 per cent in Q2 2025, driven by the strong performance of its 13 and 13R series, alongside early traction from the newly launched compact 13s, reflecting the brand's expanding premium portfolio.

OnePlus' ultra-premium (45,000+) segment grew 75% YoY in Q2 2025, driven by the strong performance of its 13 and 13R series, alongside early traction from the newly launched compact 13s.
