Apple's Next Generation Phones: iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max - Cost in India, Design, Camera, and Other Leaked Details
The much-anticipated iPhone 17 series is set to launch in September 2025, and the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are generating the most buzz among the upcoming models. Here's a roundup of the latest rumors about these flagship devices.
Design and Display
The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to feature ProMotion displays with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and animations. This technology was previously exclusive to the Pro models but is rumored to extend across models this year, although the standard iPhone 17 and 17 Air may lack full adaptive refresh rate down to 1Hz. The displays are likely to be OLED, with sizes around 6.6 inches.
The Pro models might come with a vapour chamber cooling system for better heat management during intense use, such as gaming. The Dynamic Island feature will remain, with some rumors claiming a narrower design via metalens tech, but others expect no major change. The iPhone 17 Pro Max color options may include Titanium Blue, Purple, White, Black, and Orange.
Camera
The Pro models will have a triple 48MP rear camera setup. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to include advanced telephoto optics featuring a Tetraprism lens for improved zoom and low-light photography. The front camera is rumored to upgrade to 24MP on the Pro Max. Additionally, the iPhone 17 Pro Max may support 8K video recording alongside Apple's strong computational imaging tools.
Performance and Hardware
Both Pro models will be powered by the new A19 Pro chipset built on a 3nm process technology by TSMC. They will have 12GB RAM (vs. 8GB in standard models) to support advanced Apple Intelligence features and smoother multitasking. Rumors suggest the Pro Max will feature potentially slimmer bezels and a redesigned camera bump.
Price Rumors (India)
The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to start at around ₹1,45,000. The iPhone 17 Pro Max base model may be priced at approximately ₹1,64,900 in India. For context, US prices for the Pro Max variant are rumored between $1,199 and $1,399+.
Launch Timeline
The official unveiling is likely during the second week of September 2025, between September 8 and 10. Pre-orders are expected by September 12, with global sales beginning around September 19. The India launch is expected to align with the global timeline.
In summary, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max emphasize camera enhancements (notably in telephoto zoom and video recording), performance boosts with the A19 Pro chip and 12GB RAM, premium OLED displays with 120Hz refresh rate, and new cooling tech, all at higher price points reflecting their flagship status in India around ₹1.45 lakh and ₹1.65 lakh respectively.
