Apple's highly anticipated ‘Awe Dropping' event took place at Apple Park on Wednesday. The Cupertino-based tech giant unveiled its next-generation iPhone lineup, known as the iPhone 17 series. Similar to previous years, four new models were announced. But while there was an iPhone 16 Plus last year, the latest lineup features a new iPhone Air. It is claimed to be the thinnest iPhone to date. Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 17 saw a bump in storage to 256GB, while the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max come with enhanced camera capabilities.

Apart from this, Apple introduced Watch Series 11, Watch Ultra 3, and Watch SE 3, all powered by up to the new S11 SoC. Its TWS earbuds lineup also witnessed a refresh, with the introduction of the new AirPods Pro (3rd Generation). Here's everything that was announced at the Apple event.

iPhone 17

The iPhone 17 comes with a larger 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display. It is the first non-Pro iPhone to support up to 120Hz refresh rate, courtesy of the new ProMotion panel. The handset is powered by an A19 chip, which supports Apple Intelligence features. Apple has bumped up the storage on the iPhone 17 Pro, with 256GB now offered as the base storage.

For optics, the iPhone 17 comes with a dual rear camera system, headlined by a 48-megapixel Fusion main camera. There is also a 48-megapixel Fusion Ultra-Wide camera with macro capabilities. There's also a new 18-megapixel Centre Stage selfie shooter.

iPhone Air

The iPhone Air, as the name indicates, is Apple's slimmest iPhone to date. It comes in at 5.6mm, competing against Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge in the ultra-slim smartphone space. The iPhone Air features a 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen with all of the same features as the standard iPhone 17. However, the handset has only one camera at the back: a 48-megapixel Fusion sensor derived from the iPhone 17. You get the same 18-megapixel selfie shooter as the standard model.

Under the hood, the handset is powered by Apple's new A19 Pro processor. It is accompanied by a new N1 chip, which powers Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. Meanwhile, there's also a new C1X modem that Apple claims to be more efficient than its proprietary C1 modem on iPhone 16e.

The iPhone Air can deliver up to 27 hours of video playback on a single charge, as per Apple. The price of iPhone Air in India is set at Rs. 1,19,900 for the 256GB configuration. Read on for more information about the iPhone Air.

iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max

Apple has shifted back to titanium with the iPhone 17 Pro models. What's also new is a unibody design with a "full-width camera plateau" on the back. Both handsets become the first flagships from the tech giant to feature a vapour chamber cooling system, offering higher sustained performance during demanding workloads. The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are powered by Apple's A19 Pro SoC, promising 40 percent better sustained performance compared to the older generations.

Moving on, this is the first time all three cameras at the back of an iPhone have the same 48-megapixel resolution. There is a new 48-megapixel telephoto lens on the iPhone 17 Pro models, which offers 8x optical zoom and 40x digital zoom. They come with the same 18-megapixel Centre Stage selfie camera as the iPhone 17 and iPhone Air.

At the event, Apple claimed that the iPhone 17 Pro Max has the "best battery life ever in an iPhone." The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max price in India begins at Rs. 1,34,900 and Rs. 1,49,900, respectively. Here's all you need to know about the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
