iPhone 17 Pro is expected to launch in various markets in September, including India. It is expected to debut alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max models. Several leaks and reports have hinted at the key features of the upcoming handsets. A new leak claims that the iPhone 17 Pro model may offer more storage than its predecessor. Apple is also expected to raise the starting price of the handset. Notably, the iPhone 16 Pro is available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB storage options.

iPhone 17 Pro May Drop 128GB Variant

According to a Weibo post by tipster Setsuna Digital (translated from Chinese), the iPhone 17 Pro may start with 256GB of storage. The tipster cited another post claiming the starting price is expected to be $50 (roughly Rs. 4,400) higher than its predecessor, suggesting Apple is likely to drop the 128GB storage option for the upcoming Pro model. If true, it would justify the higher base price.

The iPhone 16 Pro is currently available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB storage options. In India, the price of the 128GB option starts at Rs. 1,19,900, while the 256GB and 512GB variants cost Rs. 1,29,900 and Rs. 1,49,900, respectively. The top-of-the-line 1TB iPhone 16 Pro model is priced at Rs. 1,69,900.
