iPhone 17 vs. iPhone 16: How They Compare and Which to Buy
Apple's new iPhone 17 Pro replaces the 128GB base model with 256GB storage and launches alongside iPhone Air, available for pre-order and delivery starting tomorrow.
- Apple began selling the iPhone 17 and iPhone Air today at its main retail locations in key Indian cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and Pune, following strong preorder demand worldwide.
- This launch follows the highest online event attendance since 2022 and an upgrade opportunity as 315 million iPhone users have waited over four years to replace devices.
- Long queues formed outside Apple stores with reports of scuffles as customers sought to be among the first buyers in India, reflecting heightened demand.
- The iPhone 17 features a sharper screen, faster processor, and starts Pro models at 256GB after Apple removed the 128GB base tier, while the iPhone Air offers a slimmer design.
- This launch suggests a potential key upgrade cycle for Apple with growth prospects, building on the early-pandemic supercycle when many users held older phones.
