iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air: Thinnest and Most Powerful Devices Launched
The new iPhone 17 maintains a familiar design aesthetic but introduces next-level colors and wallpapers. It features a 6.3-inch ProMotion display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a long-awaited enhancement. The display boasts a peak brightness of 3000 nits, ensuring exceptional visibility even in bright outdoor conditions, and is fortified with Ceramic Shield, making it twice as strong as previous iPhones. Additionally, a seven-layer anti-reflective display minimizes light reflection, enhancing viewing comfort. Powering this device is the A19 processor, built on a 3-nanometer chip, promising elevated performance. Battery life has seen improvements, allowing for a 50% charge in just 20 minutes. For photography, the iPhone 17 is equipped with a 48-megapixel dual fusion camera lens and an 18-megapixel front camera capable of capturing both portrait and landscape shots. A notable upgrade is the base storage starting at 256GB, which is a welcome feature despite the increase in price.
Accompanying this, Apple has introduced the iPhone 17 Air, heralded as the thinnest iPhone ever, measuring a mere 5.6 mm in thickness. It is available in four elegant colors: Space Black, Light Golden, Blue, and White. This model features a 6.5-inch 120Hz ProMotion display and exclusively utilizes e-SIM technology to optimize battery life, eliminating the physical SIM slot. Like its counterpart, it includes an anti-reflective display and Ceramic Shield, offering three times more scratch resistance. Powered by the A19 Pro chip, the iPhone 17 Air delivers enhanced performance and battery efficiency. It shares the 48-megapixel fusion camera with the standard iPhone 17 and incorporates Apple's MacBook In1 chip for advanced wireless connectivity. The dual capture option allows simultaneous recording from both front and rear cameras. However, its ₹1,20,000 price in India for a single-camera phone might prompt users to consider the iPhone 17 Pro.
iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max: Setting New Benchmarks for Camera and Performance
The iPhone 17 Pro models have undergone a redesign, featuring new color options including Silver, an entirely new Orange, and Blue, though the absence of a black option might disappoint some users. These models boast an aluminum frame, which Apple claims is 20 times stronger than the iPhone 16’s frame. A significant focus has been placed on better thermals, with a thermal layer positioned above the battery designed to permanently resolve phone heating issues. Both the front and back of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are protected by a strong Ceramic Shield. The integration of the A19 Pro chipset makes these devices 40% more power-efficient compared to the iPhone 16 Pro, according to Apple. The 18-megapixel front camera, equipped with Center Stage, offers portrait and landscape capture, a feature also available in the iPhone 17 and Air models.
A major leap in the camera department is the introduction of 8X optical zoom, a feature finally available in iPhones. All three lenses on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are 48 megapixels, benefiting from a larger camera layout that accommodates better camera sensors. While 8K video recording has not been introduced this time, users can enjoy 4K 120 FPS video recording. The dual-tone design further enhances its aesthetic appeal. The iPhone 17 Pro starts at ₹1,35,000, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max begins at ₹1,50,000. Pre-orders for the Pro models commence on September 12 (Friday), with availability expected by September 19. These models are specifically tailored for users who demand uncompromised camera performance and power.
AirPods Pro 3: Redefining Audio with Health Innovations
The AirPods Pro 3 have been launched with a new, compact, and pocket-sized design. They offer enhanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which is twice as effective as previous AirPods models. A standout feature is the live translation capability: if you are interacting with someone speaking a different language, their words will be converted and audible in your preferred language directly through your AirPods. Clarification on Hindi language support for this feature is yet to be provided. The AirPods Pro 3 also come with an IP57 water rating, ensuring protection against water and dust. To ensure a superior fit and comfort, they include five different earbud sizes. Another significant health feature integrated into this audio device is a heart rate sensor. In terms of battery life, the AirPods Pro 3 offer 8 hours with ANC and 10 hours in transparency mode. In India, the pricing for the AirPods Pro 3 starts at ₹25,900, and pre-orders are open from today, September 10, 2025.
Apple Watch Series 11, SE, and Ultra 3: The Ultimate Health and Connectivity Companions
The Apple Watch Series 11 retains a design similar to its predecessors but features thinner bezels. It incorporates a 2X stronger front glass, making it twice as scratch-resistant as the Series 10. 5G cellular technology is now integrated into the device. A particularly significant feature is its ability to detect potential hypertension (blood pressure), which Apple has highlighted as a 'silent killer'. This functionality is vital for individuals who often remain unaware of their hypertension. The Series 11 offers up to 24 hours of battery backup. Its starting price in India is ₹46,900.
The Apple Watch SE Next Generation is powered by Apple's S10 chip and includes features like an Always-On display, improved battery life, music playback through the speaker, 5G connectivity, sleep score tracking, temperature sensing, and fast charging support. This model provides excellent Apple Watch features at a more affordable price point, starting at ₹25,900 in India.
Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 comes with a better and larger display. Finally, it includes satellite connectivity, alongside many other important features found in the Series 11. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 starts at ₹89,900 in India and is also available for pre-order.
