Release expected this September — here’s what to expect

It’s that time of year again — the countdown to a new iPhone is on. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17 lineup in September 2025, and the buzz around its features is already building. Here’s a full breakdown of what’s rumored for the Saudi market and beyond.

Expected Launch Date

If Apple follows its usual timeline, the iPhone 17 could debut between September 11 and 13. Alongside it, a brand-new model — the iPhone 17 Air — is expected, marking the first major iPhone redesign in years.

What’s New in the iPhone 17?

Apple is reportedly bringing exciting updates across the board — from camera enhancements to sleeker designs and stronger processors. According to trusted sources like MacRumors, here’s what you might see:

Design & Display

• Larger 6.6-inch displays across certain models

• Thinner profiles, with some phones measuring just under 6mm

• The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be the thinnest iPhone ever

Camera Upgrades

• iPhone 17 Air: Single-lens 48MP rear camera

• Pro Max: Upgraded 48MP Telephoto lens

• Front camera: New 24MP six-element lens for sharper selfies

• Camera module redesign: Pro and Air models could introduce a new rectangular bar with rounded corners

Performance & Features

• Powered by the new A19 chip series

  • A19 in the iPhone 17 and 17 Air

  • A19 Pro in the 17 Pro and Pro Max

• Built on an advanced 3nm process for better power efficiency

• ProMotion display across all models

• Wi-Fi 7 support for ultra-fast wireless connectivity

New Colours?

Apple usually surprises with fresh color options each year. No leaks have confirmed this year’s palette yet, but fans are hoping last year’s viral Barbie pink makes a comeback.

The iPhone 17 Air: A Bold New Direction

One of the biggest shifts might be the introduction of the iPhone 17 Air — a thinner, lighter model with a minimalist design. Rumored specs include:

• 6.6-inch display

• Single-lens 48MP camera

• A19 chip

• Sleek, ultra-thin form factor

How Many Models Are Coming?

Current leaks point to four new iPhone 17 models:

• iPhone 17

• iPhone 17 Pro

• iPhone 17 Pro Max

• iPhone 17 Air

Notably, it seems Apple may skip the Plus model this time around.

Expected Prices in Saudi Arabia

Based on reports from ECT Gadget, here’s a price estimate:

• iPhone 17: From SAR3,563

• iPhone 17 Pro Max: Up to SAR7,313

As always, actual pricing may vary based on storage, model, and region.

Final Thoughts

While Apple has yet to confirm any of these details, the iPhone 17 lineup — particularly the new Air model — is shaping up to be one of the most exciting iPhone launches in recent years.

Stay tuned for the official announcement this September.
