iPhone 17 Pro, Max, and Air: The Scoop on Apple’s Next Big Thing

Get the latest tea on Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 lineup, including the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, Pro models, and the rumored iOS 19 overhaul.

Y’all, Apple is about to shake things up again with their iPhone lineup, and I’ve got the deets! Every year, like clockwork, Apple drops new iPhones in September. And while we don’t have the exact date yet, history tells us to mark our calendars for a September reveal. The iPhone 17 series is coming, and it’s gonna be lit!

What’s in the iPhone 17 Lineup?

First up, the iPhone 17 Air. This bad boy is rumored to be super thin, kinda like the MacBook Air but in phone form. It’s expected to have a basic A19 chip and just one camera lens. And guess what? It might use Apple’s new in-house modem. The price? Around $900, which is more than the standard iPhone 17 but less than the Pro. Oh, and it’s keeping the charging port, thank goodness!

Then there’s the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro. Apple’s sticking with the ‘size matters’ vibe, so expect a Pro Max with a bigger screen and better battery life. The iPhone 17 Air might replace the Plus model, and the SE line seems to be taking a break after the iPhone 16e’s pricey debut.

iOS 19: A Whole New Look?

Now, let’s talk software. iOS 19 might be getting a major glow-up, with a redesign inspired by visionOS. Think rounder icons and a more fluid UI. The Camera app could get a Samsung Galaxy S4-style feature, letting you record with both front and rear cameras at the same time. And Apple Intelligence? It’s gonna be bigger and smarter, with updates to Siri that we’ve been waiting for.

WWDC 2025 in June will probably spill more tea on iOS 19, so stay tuned!
