iPhone 17 Series Screen Protector Leaked

Images of the alleged screen protectors for the upcoming iPhone 17 series handsets have been shared by tipster Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) in an X post. According to the leak, the base iPhone 17 is expected to be the smallest in the lineup, followed by the slightly larger iPhone 17 Pro. The iPhone 17 Air will reportedly sit between the Pro and Pro Max in size, with the Pro Max being the largest model.

The iPhone 17 Air is expected to sport a 6.6-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The handset may measure 5.5mm in thickness, and it could pack a 2,800mAh battery. In the camera department, it could get a 48-megapixel single rear camera and a 24-megapixel selfie shooter. The phone could be powered by Apple's next generation A19 chipset. 

Recent reports suggest that the iPhone 17 Air may weigh around 145g, and it could be sold in Black, Light Blue, Light Gold, and White colourways. It is expected to be Apple's thinnest-ever iPhone model, and is likely to succeed the iPhone 16 Plus.

According to recent reports, Apple is expected to increase the iPhone 17 lineup's prices by around $50 (roughly Rs. 4,000) compared to the iPhone 16 series. If true, the iPhone 17 Pro could start at $1,049 (roughly Rs. 91,000), while the iPhone 17 Pro Max may be priced at $1,249 (roughly Rs. 1,09,000). The iPhone 17 Air, tipped to succeed the iPhone 16 Plus, might start at $949 (roughly Rs. 83,000).
