Pre-orders open Friday, September 12 at 5 a.m. PT (8 a.m. ET) via Apple’s website, app, and carriers like Verizon and AT&T. Full release and in-store availability begin Friday, September 19, 2025, with global rollout including India on the same day. High demand is anticipated, especially for the base model, so early pre-ordering is recommended.

iPhone 17 Pro

Targeted at creators and power users, this model introduces advanced thermal management and a redesigned camera array, earning praise on X for its “vapor chamber cooling that finally fixes overheating during 8K shoots.”

Its triple 48MP rear camera system (main with sensor-shift stabilisation, ultrawide, and 3x telephoto) enables 8K video at 60fps, 8x digital zoom, and pro modes for RAW photography, complemented by a 24MP front TrueDepth camera.

The 4400mAh battery delivers up to 29 hours of video playback with vapor chamber cooling to prevent throttling, supporting 50W MagSafe and wired charging; connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, ultra-fast 5G, and eSIM.

Storage options range from 256GB to 2TB, protected by a titanium unibody frame, Ceramic Shield 2 (front and rear, 4x stronger), a smaller Dynamic Island, and IP68 rating, all pre-loaded with iOS 26.

Price and Availability

Pre-orders begin September 12 at 5 a.m. PT, with shipping and retail launch on September 19, 2025. Carriers are offering trade-in deals up to $1,000 off, and X posts indicate quick sell-outs for the 1TB variant.

iPhone 17 Pro Max

The top-tier model shines with the biggest screen and battery, highlighted in event demos for its “periscope zoom that crushes competitors” and generating hype on X for being “the ultimate creator’s tool.”

Specifications

The iPhone 17 Pro Max features a 6.9-inch LTPO OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion, 2200 nits peak brightness, and anti-reflective coating for superior outdoor visibility, powered by the A19 Pro chip with 12GB RAM to excel in pro workflows, machine learning tasks, and iOS 26’s AI tools like automatic scene detection in videos.

Its advanced triple 48MP rear camera array (main, ultrawide, and 8x periscope telephoto) supports 8K video recording at 60fps, simultaneous front/rear capture, and enhanced low-light performance with LiDAR for AR, paired with a 24MP front camera.

The 5000mAh battery offers up to 33 hours of playback thanks to vapor chamber cooling and efficiency gains, with 50W MagSafe charging; includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 5G advanced, and eSIM support.

Storage scales from 256GB to 2TB, all within a titanium unibody frame that’s lighter yet tougher, featuring Ceramic Shield 2 glass on front and back (4x stronger rear), a refined Dynamic Island, and IP68 resistance, shipping with iOS 26 and future-proof updates.

Price and Availability

Starts at $1,199 for 256GB, $1,299 for 512GB, $1,599 for 1TB, and $1,999 for 2TB—up $100 from the iPhone 16 Pro Max, justified by the battery and zoom upgrades. In India, the base is priced at about ₹1,64,990.

Same as the rest of the lineup, pre-orders from September 12 at 5 a.m. PT, official launch on September 19, 2025. Apple noted strong initial interest, with trade-ins available for up to $1,100 credit; expect bundles with Apple Watch Series 11 or AirPods Pro 3.

Overall, the launch focuses on incremental but meaningful upgrades like universal ProMotion, better batteries, and AI integration, though some X users feel AI features are “underwhelming” compared to promises.

No major surprises like a foldable, but the iPhone 17 Air (starting at $999, 6.6-inch ultra-thin design) rounds out the series as a premium mid-tier option.
