ToggleApple is all set to unveil the highly anticipated iPhone 17 series this September, presenting several enhancements over the existing iPhone 16 series. This year, rumors suggest a change in the lineup’s nomenclature, introducing the iPhone 17 Air in place of the iPhone 17 Plus, and an iPhone 17 Ultra instead of the Pro Max variant. Such rebranding hints at Apple’s strategy to position these models more premium, especially with the introduction of the ‘Ultra’ tag.
According to emerging reports, the iPhone 17 Pro could prove to be an exceptional value for consumers, thanks to its advanced performance, upgraded triple-camera system, innovative AI features, and a refreshed design. But the pressing question remains: will it truly offer a substantial upgrade over the iPhone 16 Pro? Let’s delve into the details provoked by the latest leaks.
The iPhone 16 Pro features a sizable 6.3-inch OLED display with ProMotion technology. It’s reasonable to expect that the iPhone 17 Pro will retain this impressive display. While the iPhone 16 Pro boasts a durable Titanium+Glass body, the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro is likely to adopt an aluminum+glass combination, making it lighter and more user-friendly. Additionally, a redesigned camera bump is anticipated, with the LiDAR sensor and flash repositioned to the right side for a sleeker aesthetic.

While the iPhone 16 Pro operates using the A18 Pro chipset and supports 8GB of RAM for enhanced Apple Intelligence features, the iPhone 17 Pro may come equipped with the more advanced A19 Pro chipset, alongside 12GB of RAM. Moreover, the new model might include Apple’s Wi-Fi 7 chip for improved connectivity that promises faster and more stable internet speeds. To top off the performance improvements, a vapor cooling chamber may be integrated to ensure optimal thermal management.
Whereas the iPhone 16 Pro is fitted with a dual 48MP rear camera system and a 12MP telephoto lens, the iPhone 17 Pro is rumored to introduce a triple 48MP camera configuration. On the selfie front, users can look forward to a 24MP front camera, a marked upgrade from the 12MP lens in the previous model. Furthermore, the iPhone 17 Pro will potentially offer dual video recording capabilities and support for stunning 8K video recording.
The iPhone 16 Pro is powered by a 3,582mAh battery, but the forthcoming iPhone 17 Pro is expected to come with an upgraded battery capacity, enhancing user experience by extending battery life and providing more robust performance.
When it first launched, the Apple iPhone 16 Pro priced at Rs 1,19,900 for the 128GB storage variant in the Indian market. Reports suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro will arrive at the same price point this September, although precise specifications and features remain to be officially confirmed.
