Apple is gearing up to launch its next big flagship lineup, the iPhone 17 series, at its “Awe Dropping” event, scheduled for September 9, 2025. This year, the company is expected to introduce four models – iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max with significant upgrades over last year’s iPhone 16 lineup. However, along with the new features, prices are also expected to increase.
SurveyAccording to recent leaks, Apple is likely to increase the price of its new iPhones by around $50 (approximately Rs 5,000 in India) across models. Here’s how much they may cost.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max price in India (Expected)
The iPhone 17 could reportedly start at $849 or Rs 84,990 for the 128GB version, compared to last year’s $799 pricing. The iPhone 17 Pro may see a bigger jump, starting at $1,049 or Rs 1,24,990; however, this price is said to apply to the 256GB variant, rather than the 128GB base model offered previously.
Meanwhile, the top-end iPhone 17 Pro Max is rumoured to debut at $1,249 or around Rs 1,50,000 in India, up from $1,199 (Rs 1,44,990). If true, this would make it one of the most expensive iPhones Apple has ever launched.
