What should you know more about the iPhone 17? Let’s dive in. 

What Do We Know So Far about iPhone 17 Pro

Right now, what do we know about the new iPhone release? The iPhone 17 Pro release date is expected on Tuesday, 9 September 2025. Apple is likely to release four models in a series in September: 

• iPhone 17
  
• iPhone 17 Pro
  
• iPhone 17 Pro Max
  
• iPhone 17 Air
  

Apple plans to discontinue production of the “Plus” versions due to low demand, therefore, there will be no iPhone 17 Plus. The iPhone 17 Air will not replace the iPhone Plus; rather, it will be a new type of iPhone. It may have a 6.6-inch screen and a thickness of less than 6mm, making it the thinnest iPhone ever. 

How Much Will It Cost?

The iPhone 17 Air might be priced at $899, which is the same as the current price of the iPhone 16 Plus. This would make it more expensive than the regular iPhone 17, but still cheaper than the iPhone 17 Pro.

There is also a chance that all iPhone 17 models could get a price increase. According to a report, the base iPhone 17 pro could be around $1,049.

Features of iPhone 17 Pro

With the new phone pin the scene, people expect new features in it as well. So, what is Apple offering this time with iPhone 17 Pro?

• The iPhone 17 Pro Max could feature a 6.9-inch display, while the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to sport a 6.3-inch super Retina OLED panel with ProMotion technology.
• It is speculated that both devices will include 12GB of RAM and an A19 Pro processor.
• According to reports, the iPhone 17 Pro Max may include a 5,000 mAh battery, while the iPhone 17 Pro is believed to have a 4,500 mAh battery.
• The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max may have similar camera setups, such as a triple 48MP arrangement.  
• A 24MP front-facing camera could be introduced to the complete iPhone 17 lineup.
• Apple’s 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max versions will feature 12GB of RAM, the most ever featured in an iPhone. This could result in speedier performance with Apple Intelligence and other intensive tasks, and it’s a wonderful 50% upgrade from the 16 Pro’s 8GB of RAM. 

What will iOS 26 be like?

With WWDC 2025, Apple broke with its numbering conventions and will now match the name of each new operating system to the year of release. Thus, iOS 26 will be installed on the upcoming generation of iPhones.

The smartphone operating system that was unveiled at the major developer showcase adopted a controversial design strategy known as Liquid Glass. The subsequent iOS 26 beta tests will still have a glass-like appearance, but Apple has been reducing the transparency effects.

Both major and minor updates are included in the feature list. The redesigned Phone and Photos apps are more significant. Artificial intelligence will be used in a number of features, including live translation for messages, FaceTime, and phones. Additionally, if on-device machine learning tools detect nudity, Apple is testing a sensitive content warning for child accounts that will freeze FaceTime video. 

Apple iPhone 17 Pre-Orders May Happen on Different Dates

If Apple plans to release all four iPhone 17 models on the same day, then pre-orders will likely start on Friday, September 12, right after the launch event. 

But if any model gets delayed by a week or two, pre-orders for that model might happen later. Most signs suggest that any delays would be short.

Also, you have to keep an eye out for this trick Apple sometimes uses: the night before pre-orders go live, you might be able to choose your iPhone (model, color, storage) and add it to your Apple Store shopping bag. That way, you can quickly hit the “Buy” button as soon as sales start the next morning.

Conclusion

Apple’s most exciting launch in years is coming with powerful new chips, better cameras, and bold design changes. So, we can say that Apple will set new standards.

Now, all eyes are on September as the release date is near; we will see how iPhone 17  with these features will perform in real life.
