Apple fans, get ready! The iphone 17 series is just around the corner, and the latest leaks hint that your wallet might not feel as heavy as expected. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the rumored prices and what each model brings to the table.
1. iphone 17: Classic Value, Same Price
The entry-level iphone 17 is rumored to stick to the same price as last year’s iphone 16 — $799. This means apple isn’t hiking prices despite global inflation concerns. For indian buyers, this could translate to around Rs 79,900, keeping it accessible for first-time iphone buyers or those looking for a reliable daily driver.
2. iphone 17 Air: Slim, Sleek, and Slightly Pricier
Replacing the Plus model, the iphone 17 air is generating the most buzz. Reports suggest a price range of $899–$949, close to the iphone 16 Plus debut of $899. Analysts speculate apple may keep the Air’s price near the outgoing Plus model to lure buyers with its slimmer design. In India, expect it around Rs 89,900, offering a premium feel without a massive price jump.
3. iphone 17 Pro: Bigger Storage, Slightly Higher Cost
The iphone 17 Pro may see a $100 price increase, taking it from $999 to $1,099. But there’s a silver lining: apple is dropping the 128GB base variant, starting the Pro at 256GB instead. Buyers get more storage upfront for the higher price — a win for those storing videos, apps, and photos. In India, the Pro could edge closer to Rs 1,30,000, a slight rise from last year’s Rs 1,19,900.
4. iphone 17 Pro Max: Flagship Stability
Apple’s top-end iphone 17 Pro Max is expected to retain its $1,199 price tag, with no major increase. For indian consumers, the price may remain around Rs 1,44,900. The Pro Max continues to offer the ultimate iphone experience with maximum storage, display, and camera capabilities — making it the go-to choice for tech enthusiasts and content creators.
5. Why the Pricing Strategy Matters
Apple’s strategy seems to balance upgrades and affordability. While the Pro series gets a storage boost, most other models remain in familiar price ranges. This could help apple maintain its momentum in markets like India, where price sensitivity is key. The iphone 17 Air’s new design might attract buyers who want a stylish, modern iphone without splurging on the Pro Max.
6. Launch Countdown: Prices to Be Official Soon
All eyes will be on Apple’s official launch next week. The iphone 17, 17 air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max will be revealed with final prices and availability. If the leaks hold true, indian buyers won’t face major sticker shock — except maybe the Pro. For the rest of the lineup, apple appears to be delivering upgrades without breaking the bank.
Apple fans, start budgeting — your next iphone might be closer than you think!
