Apple’s next iPhone lineup is just around the corner, and the buzz is building fast. The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to debut in September, continuing Apple’s tradition of fall unveilings. But this time, the upgrades could be more than just incremental—especially if you’re eyeing the Pro Max.
Expected Release Date and Price
You can expect the official reveal in September 2025, with pre-orders and in-store availability likely following shortly after.
-
iPhone 17 is expected to start around $799, maintaining its spot as the go-to option for most users.
-
iPhone 17 Pro Max will come at a premium, thanks to its more advanced hardware and features, likely starting above $1,199.
Design & Display Differences
The iPhone 17 will probably keep things familiar, with a 6.1-inch display and a similar form factor to the iPhone 16. It’s expected to include a more durable screen with anti-reflective coating and improved scratch resistance.

The Pro Max, however, may take a bolder step forward. Rumors suggest a redesigned camera bump stretching across the back and a sleeker aluminum frame. If true, this would be one of the more noticeable design shifts in recent iPhone generations.
Major Camera Upgrades
One of the biggest talking points is the camera—especially for the Pro Max.
-
iPhone 17 Pro Max could come with a 48MP telephoto lens, a big jump from the current 12MP standard, and a 24MP front camera for sharper selfies and video calls.
-
iPhone 17 is expected to get minor camera tweaks but won’t compete with the Pro Max’s advanced setup.
These improvements are aimed at photography lovers, content creators, and anyone who wants top-tier performance in all lighting conditions.
Performance & Hardware
Both models are rumored to be powered by the upcoming Apple A19 chip, which promises smoother multitasking, better gaming performance, and longer battery life.
-
The Pro Max may also include 12GB of RAM, better cooling, and Apple’s own Wi-Fi 7 chip for lightning-fast connections.
-
The standard iPhone 17 will likely offer solid performance but without those high-end extras.
Final Thoughts
If you're looking for a reliable, well-rounded upgrade, the iPhone 17 will likely tick all the boxes. But if you're after cutting-edge performance, a standout camera, and a fresh design, the iPhone 17 Pro Max may be the one worth waiting for.
Apple hasn't confirmed anything yet—but if history tells us anything, big things are coming this September.
