Apple introduces the iPhone 17 series with upgraded cameras, displays, and performance, including the slimmest iPhone Air, available from September 19 with discounts and exchange offers.

  • Apple announced the iPhone 17 series and the iPhone Air on September 9, with pre-orders starting September 12 and sales from September 19 in India.
  • Apple discontinued the Plus model and introduced the iPhone Air as its slimmest and lightest smartphone, weighing 165 grams and measuring 5.6mm thick.
  • The iPhone 17 lineup consists of three models: the standard iPhone 17, the Pro variant, and the larger Pro Max version, all featuring enhanced displays, the new A19 Pro chip for better performance, and upgraded camera technology. In contrast, the iPhone Air is notably slimmer but includes a smaller battery and lacks a vapour chamber for cooling.
  • Prices start at $799 for the base iPhone 17, $999 for the iPhone Air, $1099 for the iPhone 17 Pro, and $1199 for the Pro Max, with Indian prices ranging from Rs 82,900 to Rs 1,49,900 and discounts plus trade-in offers available at retailers like Croma and Telekom.
  • The new iPhone 17 lineup is available for pre-order on multiple platforms and will likely impact the smartphone market with Apple's focus on design and performance improvements starting from September 19.
