iPhone 17 vs. 17 Pro Max: What’s New and What to Expect
Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro is already in the news months before its release. With each new launch, Apple tries to make significant improvements, and this looks like another year in the making. The iPhone 16 Pro which was released in early 2024 introduced an improved A16 Pro chip and better cameras with Camera Control. Now, the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to take it up from there with an all-new look and an upgraded camera. iPhone 17 launch date is supposed to take place between September 11 and 13 in 2025. All things regarding the iPhone 17 Pro that we know of right now: are its price, the launch date, and the five main differences (for improvement) in comparison to the iPhone 16 Pro.
iPhone 17 Pro Launch Date In India
Apple has reliably issued new iPhones in September, and this year should be no different. Forecasts say the iPhone 17 Pro should premier along with the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, all on Apple’s fall event between September 11-13.
Expected Price of iPhone 17 Pro In India
The base model iPhone 16 Pro, which launched in India at Rs 1,19,900, may possibly be up-priced for the iPhone 17 Pro due to similar pricing strategies; however, the increment can also come because of formal design, camera upgrades, or AI capabilities. Launching in India at about Rs 1,24,900 is its best bet, but the details will be officially disclosed on the launch date.
iPhone 17 vs iPhone 17 Pro Max: Design Changes
One of the big changes in terms of designing the iPhone 17 marks a complete shift from vertical to horizontal camera layout for whole models. This kind of layout shows a more modern and interesting touch. However, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will keep its strong and sturdy look. Apple is expected to use aluminum and glass in the whole lineup of new models.
Apple could be adding something big to its display features in the form of an anti-reflective coating to help with visibility in bright sunlight and add some scratch resistance. The common iPhone 17 is meant to have a 6.3-inch display; with the Pro Max model comes an exclusive 6.9-inch screen. Both models would come with the ProMotion feature and a 120Hz refresh rate.
I Phone 17 Camera Upgrades
According to reports, all the upcoming models of the iPhone 17 will have a 24MP front camera; an increase that will get the resolution up by 100% to enhance selfies and improve low-light performance.
For the rear cameras, it seems like the iPhone 17 is using a 48MP main sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide one, featuring 2x zoom. Meanwhile, the addition of three cameras, using 48MP, in ultra-next Pro Max is planned.
Specifications, AI Features of iPhone 17 vs iPhone 17 Pro Max
There are assumptions that the iPhone 17 series is expected to boast the A19 chipset offering better power management through 3nm for more speed. The basic iPhone 17 will use an A19 chip with an 8GB RAM configuration, whereas the Pro Max would have an A19 Pro chipset and a 12GB RAM configuration. This chipset configuration will make AI-navigated tasks such as Siri, on-device machine learning, and better multitasking efficiency happen.
Final Thoughts: Which One Should You Choose?

If you aim at a better trade-off in terms of size and good performance and camera capabilities in a way, this is the iPhone 17 for you.
