iPhone 17 nears launch. Everything we know about the upcoming smartphone line

With the iPhone 17's debut approaching, rumors about Apple's next-generation smartphones continue to circulate, revealing more details about the devices, including design changes for the Pro models and the arrival of an Air version.

If the latest online rumors are correct, Apple could unveil the iPhone 17 to the world on September 9th. Major changes are expected to the camera modules of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, and in a new video, YouTuber Jon Prosser of the Front Page Tech channel showcases the new features that could arrive on the more equipped models in the lineup.

In line with previous rumors, the YouTuber, who was recently sued by Apple, reveals that the Pro models will feature a large rectangular module. It will house a triple 48 MP camera setup, including a new telephoto sensor. It's worth noting that there was previously speculation that the top-of-the-line models could offer 8X optical zoom capabilities, an additional camera button, and software with professional options to improve image quality.

According to information provided by Jon Prosser, the Pro versions of the iPhone 17 could also come in new colors, including dark blue and orange models, in addition to the more "traditional" black, gray, and silver.

Also on a more aesthetic note, the Apple logo may slightly change its position on the back of the smartphones. As Forbes points out, the new Pro models are also expected to feature A19 Pro chips.

Another highly anticipated development is the launch of the iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to replace the Plus version in the lineup, establishing itself as Apple's first foray into the new trend of thinner smartphones, in a category where Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge stands out. Apparently, the iPhone 17 Air will be 5.5 millimeters thick and weigh 145 grams. However, Apple will have to make some sacrifices in the battery, which could have a capacity of only 2,800 mAh.

Will this be the look of the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro?...The smartphone could feature a 6.6-inch display with thin bezels and a "Dynamic Bezel Island." On the back of the smartphone, there will be a single 48 MP camera, and inside, it will be possible to find an A19 processor, as well as the C1 chip, Apple's first "homemade" modem, which makes its debut in the iPhone 16e.

But how much could the new iPhone models cost? Not long ago, rumors surfaced pointing to a price increase for several models in the United States.

The report cites a $50 price increase for the Pro and Pro Max models, as well as the iPhone 17 Air. The base model of the line is not included. The price represents a 4% to 5% increase compared to the prices of smartphones launched in 2024.

The increase is attributed to the need to offset increased costs related to import tariffs and the partial production of devices in China. It is not yet clear whether the increases will directly impact prices in other regions, such as Europe.
