Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max Launch Date and Price Details
The iPhone 17 series is expected to bring significant upgrades, including faster charging speeds, improved cooling systems, and a new A19 chip and A19 Pro chipset. The devices will also feature 12GB of RAM in at least three models, and Apple's in-house 5G modem may be included in the iPhone 17 Air and other models. With the potential price increase and new features, the iPhone 17 series is expected to be a major player in the smartphone market.
The highly anticipated iPhone 17 series, including the iPhone 17 Pro Max, is expected to launch in September 2025, with significant design overhauls, improved features, and potential price increases due to tariffs and production costs. Experts estimate that the new iPhone could cost between $850 and $950, with the iPhone 17 Air potentially costing around $900.
The current tariffs on goods from India and China, as well as the uncertainty of the US economy, could lead to higher prices for the new iPhone. The 10% tariff on goods from India and 30% tariff on goods from China could increase the price, with potential tariffs of 26% for India and 145% for China. Additionally, the improved features and design costs, as well as a potential US-made iPhone, could also contribute to the price increase.
The iPhone 17 series is expected to feature 120Hz ProMotion displays and LTPO OLED technology, enabling Always-On Display functionality. The devices will have aluminum bodies, with the Air variant potentially featuring a titanium-aluminum hybrid. The rear camera design is expected to change, with a rectangular module encased in aluminum replacing the current squircle-shaped camera bump. The front-facing camera resolution will be doubled to 24MP, and the rear camera systems will see significant upgrades.
The expected price range for the iPhone 17 in India is Rs 89,900 to Rs 1,64,900, while in the US, the entry-level model may start at $899 and the Pro Max at $2,300. Apple's decision to raise the price of its services, such as music, news, and data plans, could also offset the increased costs. With the launch date approaching, fans and potential buyers are eagerly awaiting the official announcement from Apple.
