Cupertino, May 7: Apple will launch its next-gen iPhone 17 series in India and the global market around September 2025. The new iPhone 17 lineup will reportedly come with a revamped design, improved performance, bigger batteries, and better camera performance. It will include four smartphones: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and the top-model iPhone 17 Pro Max (which may also come as iPhone 17 Ultra).

Apple is four months away from launching its iPhone 17 smartphones, which will succeed last year's iPhone 16 series powered by A18 and A18 Pro chipsets. This year, Apple may completely change the iPhone 17 Pro series design by introducing a rectangular camera bump with similarly aligned cameras like the previous series, per the leaks. The iPhone 17 base model will likely continue the same design. iPhone 17 Air will be a new member added to the series in September 2025, and the iPhone 17e will reportedly launch next year. iOS 18.5 RC Update: Apple Rolls Out New Features, Bug Fixes and Improvements in Its Latest iOS 18.5 Release Candidate; Know More Details.
