What to Expect at the Event

Apple is expected to unveil a new iPhone 17 series, likely including:

• iPhone 17
• iPhone 17 Air – ultra-thin (5.5 mm), possibly replacing the Plus model
• iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max

Anticipated highlights:

• All-models may feature 120 Hz ProMotion OLED displays and the powerful A19/A19 Pro chipsets, promising enhanced performance and thermals.
• Pro and Pro Max models could introduce a redesigned, half-aluminum/half-glass rear with a panoramic camera bar, housing a 48 MP telephoto lens, 8K video support, 12 GB RAM, higher capacity batteries (up to ~5000 mAh), and increased base storage (at least 256 GB).
• The standard iPhone 17 may offer a 6.3-inch (ProMotion) display, a 24 MP front camera, and start at roughly ₹89,900 in India.
• The iPhone 17 Air, aside from being the slimmest iPhone yet, is rumored to use a silicon-carbon battery to maintain battery life despite its thin profile.

Other expected product reveals:

• AirPods Pro 3 with subtle design tweaks, improved audio, a compact USB-C case, and possibly optical heart-rate tracking.
