New Delhi, September 2025 – The wait is almost over for Apple fans. The highly anticipated iPhone 17 lineup is all set to make its global debut, and this time, India is firmly in the spotlight. With local production in full swing, Indian buyers will get access to the new iPhones almost simultaneously with the global market.
📱 iPhone 17 Lineup
The iPhone 17 series will feature four models:
-
iPhone 17 (Standard)
-
iPhone 17 Air
-
iPhone 17 Pro
-
iPhone 17 Pro Max

📅 Launch Event: Date and Time
Apple has officially scheduled its ‘Awe Dropping’ Event on September 9, 2025, starting at 10:30 PM IST. The event will be streamed live from the Steve Jobs Theatre in Cupertino, California, hosted by Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Indian viewers can tune in via:

Apple.com live stream
The spotlight will be on the new iPhones, though Apple is also expected to showcase other ecosystem updates.
💰 iPhone 17 Pro Expected Price in India
Though Apple has not confirmed official pricing, industry trends suggest the iPhone 17 Pro will start at around ₹1,25,000 in India. Higher storage variants may cross the ₹1,50,000 mark.
Due to import duties and taxes, Indian pricing is usually higher compared to the US, but with local manufacturing expanding at Foxconn’s Bengaluru facility, Apple may work toward narrowing the gap.
🛒 Pre-Orders in India
Pre-orders for the iPhone 17 Pro in India will open on September 12, 2025, just three days after the launch. The pre-order window is expected to begin at 5:30 PM IST.
📲 iOS 26 Release Date
Apple will also roll out iOS 26, its newest operating system, starting September 15, 2025. The update will be available for a wide range of iPhones, including older models such as the iPhone 11 and newer, giving Indian users access to the latest features even before upgrading to the iPhone 17.
