Apple Likely to Launch iPhone 17 Series in September with New 'iPhone 17 Slim' and Major Upgrades
New Delhi, July 8 – Apple is reportedly gearing up to launch its much-anticipated iPhone 17 series this September. The upcoming lineup is expected to feature four models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and a brand-new addition – the iPhone 17 Slim. All models will run on the latest iOS 26, which introduces the innovative Liquid Glass Interface along with a host of unique new features.
As per agency report, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models will be powered by Apple’s latest A19 Pro chipset, manufactured using TSMC’s third-generation 3nm process. This advancement is expected to offer significant improvements in performance and battery efficiency.
Design changes are also on the horizon. In the iPhone 17 Pro, the Apple logo on the rear panel may be slightly repositioned downward, likely to accommodate a new layout for the MagSafe magnets. The Pro model may feature an aluminum frame, a shift from the titanium frames used in the iPhone 15 and 16 Pro models. The rear camera bump could become larger and more rectangular in shape, although the triangular lens layout is expected to remain.
Apple is rumored to introduce a new Sky Blue color variant for the iPhone 17 Pro. Additionally, the Pro models may come equipped with 12GB RAM, up from the current 8GB, enabling smoother multitasking and enhanced AI functionalities.
Another key development is Apple’s work on its own Wi-Fi 7 chip, which could potentially replace Broadcom components in these new iPhones. This would mark a major step toward further in-house hardware integration.
On the camera front, significant upgrades are expected. The front camera could be enhanced from 12MP to 24MP, while the rear telephoto lens may see a major boost from 12MP to 48MP. Advanced features like 8K video recording and dual video recording capabilities are also likely to be included.
With these major hardware and software improvements, the iPhone 17 series is shaping up to be one of Apple’s most feature-rich and technologically advanced releases to date.
