September is coming and Apple is gearing up for its annual iPhone launch. This year, the iPhone 17 range will be unveiled and it is likely to include a new variant called the iPhone 17 Air, alongside the iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. A new report now suggests that the coveted Apple event will likely be held on September 9. If true, this means we are just over a month away from the Apple launch event.
According to a German publication, the iPhone 17 range is likely to launch on September 9. The report suggests that the phones will go on sale on September 19. Right after launch on September 9, Apple will start taking pre-orders for the phones. On September 19, deliveries to customers and sale on Apple stores and authorised partners will begin. Apple is likely to give priority to important markets like US, China, Europe, and Japan at the moment.
Keep in mind that Apple has made no official announcement regarding the launch event. This information is based on leaks and should be taken with a pinch of salt. The iPhone 17 range is likely to get a redesigned back panel with a shift in camera module. The series is likely to see upgrades in camera and processor. The new Apple Watch and new AirPods Pro models are also expected to launch alongside.
Apple is producing the iPhone 17 range in India at Foxconn’s Tamil Nadu facility. The new US tariffs are likely to not impact prices of iPhones as they fall in the exempted category. For now, the Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 series is largely rumoured to start at ₹79,900 for the base model. The newly introduced iPhone 17 Air is expected to be priced at ₹89,900. For those eyeing higher-end variants, the iPhone 17 Pro will likely be available at ₹1,45,990, while the top-tier iPhone 17 Pro Max is anticipated to cost ₹1,64,990.
