Did Apple Just Unveil the Remarkable iPhone 17 Series?

Cupertino (California), Sep 9 (NationPress) – Tech leader Apple introduced the revolutionary iPhone 17 series on Tuesday, featuring state-of-the-art technology and the latest chipsets, including the iPhone Air — the slimmest iPhone to date, boasting professional-grade performance.

The new models will be accessible in India starting September 19, with pre-orders commencing on September 12.

The iPhone 17 (256 GB) is priced at Rs 82,900, while the iPhone Air (256 GB) starts at Rs 119,900; the iPhone 17 Pro (256 GB) begins at Rs 134,900, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max (256 GB) is available from Rs 149,900.

The iPhone Air features a groundbreaking titanium design that is both sleek and lightweight yet incredibly durable. The rear of the iPhone Air is safeguarded with Ceramic Shield, while the front cover utilizes Ceramic Shield 2, offering three times better scratch resistance, making it more resilient than any previous model.

Additionally, iPhone Air is equipped with an impressive 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion technology, delivering refresh rates up to 120Hz. It features the most powerful Apple-designed chips in any iPhone — the A19 Pro, N1, and C1X — making iPhone Air the most energy-efficient iPhone ever produced. A cutting-edge 48MP Fusion Main camera provides the equivalent of four lenses with outstanding image quality, while the innovative 18MP Center Stage front camera enhances selfie capabilities.

The iPhone 17 introduces the new Center Stage front camera for enhanced selfies, along with a robust 48MP Fusion Main camera featuring an optical-quality 2x Telephoto lens, and a novel 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera that captures expansive scenes and intricate macro shots.

The 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion is larger and brighter, facilitating ultra-smooth scrolling, immersive gaming experiences, and enhanced efficiency.

This is powered by the latest-generation A19 chip, designed for superior performance and longevity.

“iPhone 17 is a significant enhancement, equipped with powerful features that elevate its usefulness in daily activities, from the larger and brighter ProMotion display with three times the scratch resistance, to all-day battery life with rapid charging, the A19 chip for impressive performance, a remarkable 48MP Dual Fusion camera system, and the innovative Center Stage front camera — our finest front camera yet,” stated Kaiann Drance, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing.

On the other hand, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max present a stunning new design that signifies a substantial performance upgrade. Both devices incorporate the A19 Pro chip, the most powerful and efficient chip for iPhones to date, enabling advanced camera systems, next-level mobile gaming, and enhanced Apple Intelligence.

Engineered with an Apple-designed vapor chamber integrated into a lightweight, robust, and thermally conductive aluminum unibody, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max offer unparalleled performance and a remarkable increase in battery longevity.

Three 48MP Fusion cameras — Main, Ultra Wide, and a new Telephoto — provide the equivalent of eight lenses, featuring the longest optical-quality zoom ever on an iPhone at 8x, while the innovative 18MP Center Stage front camera enhances selfies further.

With cutting-edge video features tailored for professional filmmakers and content creators, including ProRes RAW, Apple Log 2, and genlock, the iPhone integrates seamlessly into both large and small production environments. Both models are designed with a Ceramic Shield 2 front cover offering three times better scratch resistance, and for the first time, Ceramic Shield also protects the back of the iPhone.

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are offered in three stunning new colors — deep blue, cosmic orange, and silver. Pre-orders begin on Friday, September 12, with availability starting on Friday, September 19.

“iPhone 17 Pro is undoubtedly the most powerful iPhone we’ve ever crafted, featuring a breathtaking new design meticulously engineered to optimize performance and provide a significant leap in battery life,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “With three 48MP Fusion cameras, an enhanced Center Stage front camera experience, and professional-grade video capabilities, the creative possibilities are limitless.
