Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to be priced around Rs 1,64,990 in India. This marks a significant jump from last year’s iPhone 16 Pro Max, which launched at Rs 1,44,900.
According to reports, factors like US tariff changes, weakening demand, and rising production costs may contribute to the higher price. However, Apple's increased local manufacturing and exports from India might help offset some of the inflation. Official pricing will be confirmed during the launch event in September.
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup in the second week of September 2025. The series will include iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. iPhone 17 Pro Max may also be called iPhone 17 Ultra in some markets.
One of the most striking changes is the expected redesigned rectangular camera island. The iPhone 17 Pro Max may include enhanced lenses and 3.5x optical zoom on the telephoto sensor. It will retain the triple 48MP camera setup from previous versions. Support for 8K video recording is also rumored.
The premium phone will likely be powered by the A19 Pro chip, built on a 3nm process. Paired with up to 12GB RAM, the device is expected to support Apple Intelligence features in iOS 26. The iPhone could also include vapor cooling technology, a first for the Pro series, to ensure stable performance during heavy use.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max may feature a 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion technology. A larger battery is also expected to be included for longer screen time and better standby performance.
If the leaks hold, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be a major upgrade in both performance and price. Apple's continued focus on AI, custom silicon, and camera innovation hints at a bold new chapter for the iPhone. More details will emerge as the September launch approaches.
