1. What exactly is the iPhone 17 lineup?
Oh, so you’re curious—great! Apple rolled out four models as of September 2025:
- iPhone 17 (the standard),
- iPhone Air (the new ultra-thin one),
- iPhone 17 Pro, and
- iPhone 17 Pro Max
2. What makes the iPhone Air so, you know, special?
It’s insanely thin—like, 5.6 mm thin—which makes it the slimmest iPhone ever. Plus, it’s crafted with a titanium frame, and weighs just 165g. ProMotion? Check. 120Hz, Wi-Fi 7, and eSIM only? Double-check.
3. Has the regular iPhone 17 changed much?
Yep! It now has a bigger 6.3-inch OLED “Super Retina XDR” screen with ProMotion (so smoother scrolling, yay). The A19 chip brings more speed, and the dual 48 MP Fusion cameras (main + ultra-wide) are a serious upgrade. Front camera? A beefy 18 MP with Center Stage magic.

4. Tell me about the Pro models—are they overkill?
Not at all, especially if you’re into serious photography or gaming. They run on the A19 Pro chip, it’s housed in a thermally efficient aluminum unibody with a vapor-chamber cooler. Battery life is wild—up to 39 hours of video on the Pro and even more on the Pro Max. Camera’s lit: three 48 MP Fusion cameras + 8× optical zoom, and an 18 MP Center Stage front cam.
5. So… when can I buy one?
Preorders started around September 12, 2025, and they hit stores on September 19, 2025. Mark your calendar.
6. Did something disappear this year?
Yep—the 128 GB base model is gone. Now 256 GB is the entry point, which starts somewhere around ₹82,900 in India. And good-bye “Plus” model—it’s been replaced by the Air.
7. Which colors are available? I care about that, okay?
Understood. In India, the Pro and Pro Max are not offered in black—they come in Cosmic Orange, Deep Blue, and Silver. For the standard model, you’ll find lavender, mist blue, sage, white, and black in other markets.
8. Anything new under the hood—like networking?
Oh, totally. Apple ditched third-party chips and rolled out its own N1 networking chip, supporting Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread. Plus, its new C1x modem doubles 5G speeds compared to the previous generation.
9. Any other bits I might wanna know?
Sure thing. Apple removed older iPhones from its store, so they’re hard to find officially—but resellers still have them while stocks last.
They also introduced iOS 26 and a new “Liquid Glass” design language across the lineup.
In Europe (and increasingly elsewhere), the models ar
