Apple iPhone 17 Price in India Leaked: Launch Set, Big Display & Camera Upgrades By Michael B Norris | Mumbai | July 29, 2025 I remember holding my first iPhone - the 4S - back in college. It felt like the future had landed in my hand. Sleek, intuitive, and oddly personal. I didn’t just upgrade my phone that year; I upgraded my expectations for what tech could do.

iPhone 17 Lineup Leak Hints at Slimmer 'Air' Model, A19 Chips, and Camera Upgrades

iPhone 17 Lineup Leak Hints at Slimmer 'Air' Model, A19 Chips, and Camera Upgrades

iPhone 17 Lineup Leak Hints at Slimmer 'Air' Model, A19 Chips, and Camera Upgrades


Apple may be preparing one of its most ambitious iPhone refreshes in recent memory, according to new leaks that outline a four-model iPhone 17 lineup. Alongside the usual base and Pro models, the company is tipped to launch an all-new iPhone 17 Air - a thinner, lighter version aimed at users who prioritize portability.

If accurate, this would mark a notable shift in strategy for Apple’s smartphone division, offering new design language, upgraded displays, and the debut of the A19 chip family, all before the end of 2025.

Quick Takeaways


Apple’s iPhone 17 series could include a new ‘Air’ model, the first slim variant in years.


All models may receive 120Hz OLED displays, not just the Pro lineup.


The Pro variants are tipped to use A19 Pro chips and upgraded 48MP cameras across the board.

New Model in the Mix: Meet the iPhone 17 Air


At first, it wasn’t clear why Apple would break from its traditional three-tier strategy.

But a recent report by MacRumors suggests the introduction of an “Air” model could help bridge the gap between standard and Pro users - especially those who want premium features without bulk.

This iPhone 17 Air is rumored to feature a 120Hz OLED display and Apple’s upcoming A19 chip, yet keep things compact with just a single rear camera. 

It might appeal to minimalists who still want smooth performance and display responsiveness. 

Interestingly, this would be the first time Apple offers 120Hz refresh rates on non-Pro devices, if true.

Pro Models: Familiar Power, Fresh Design


Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are expected to carry forward Apple’s most advanced mobile technologies - but with a refreshed look. 

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the Pro lineup might adopt a redesigned rectangular camera housing and smoother edges, breaking from the flat-edged style introduced in 2020.

A return to stainless steel frames is also on the cards, reversing last year’s shift to titanium. 

While heavier, stainless steel may provide better durability and a more premium in-hand feel.


“This feels like a return to form for Apple’s industrial design,” noted Gurman in his June newsletter.

A19 and A19 Pro Chips Could Power the Series


The new lineup will reportedly be powered by the A19 and A19 Pro chips, built on a second-gen 3nm process. 

Apple typically reserves its most advanced silicon for the Pro models, and this year is expected to follow that trend - with the A19 Pro chip offering performance gains in both speed and energy efficiency.

Still, the inclusion of the A19 in both the base and Air models is a shift worth watching. 

It suggests Apple may want to narrow the performance gap across its devices, possibly in response to growing pressure from powerful mid-range Android phones.

Major Camera Upgrades: Across the Board


What stood out most in the leak wasn’t just the performance specs - but the potential camera overhaul. 

All rear cameras on the Pro models are said to be upgraded to 48MP, including the ultrawide and telephoto lenses.

That’s not just a spec bump. It opens the door for 8K video recording, 5x optical zoom, and significantly improved low-light photography - bringing Apple closer to Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra in imaging power.

Oddly, there’s no mention yet of upgrades to the front-facing camera - something many users still rely on heavily.

Battery Life, Charging, and Everyday Experience


Battery capacity is expected to improve by around 5–10%, translating to an extra 1–2 hours of use per charge, depending on the model. 

Apple may also boost wired charging speeds to 35W, which is still behind Android rivals but faster than current iPhone models.


For most users, this won’t change daily habits much - until they notice their battery dipping a bit slower.

Pricing and Availability


According to a leak posted by analyst Ross Young via X (formerly Twitter), the iPhone 17 Pro Max may see a price jump of around ₹5,000. 

That would nudge it closer to the cost of foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold 6, but Apple seems to be banking on brand loyalty and upgraded features to justify the hike.

The entire iPhone 17 lineup is expected to be revealed at Apple’s annual fall hardware event, with pre-orders likely to begin within a week of the announcement.

What This Means for Apple Fans


For longtime users, this launch may feel both familiar and fresh. 

On paper, the changes look significant—new model names, refined designs, chipset advancements, and camera leaps. 

In practice? Much depends on how well Apple executes the balance between innovation and user experience.

Huawei Watch GT 6 India Launch Leak: Two Sizes, Stylish Colors, Long Battery

Huawei Watch GT 6 India Launch Leak: Two Sizes, Stylish Colors, Long Battery New Delhi – July 23, 2025 By Michael B. Norris, Senior Tech Correspondent   When I ran my first half-marathon wearing the Huawei Watch GT 5, I didn’t expect it to outperform my chest strap monitor. It was early morning, cool winds cutting through Lodhi Gardens, and I’d just passed the 8km mark.  That’s when I glanced down at the GT 5 - expecting some lag or off-reading.  But no - it was spot-on, closely mirroring my Polar heart rate strap. Even after two hours, the battery barely budged. That experience marked a turning point in how I viewed Huawei's smartwatches.  The Watch GT series has always leaned into endurance over extravagance.  With the Watch GT 6 expected this fall, Huawei seems to be refining this formula - this time offering two case sizes and an array of bold new colors aimed at casual users and fitness-minded customers alike. But behind the color names and numbers lies som...

HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2 Launched in India: 2000-Nit OLED, Glide Keyboard, Stylus Support

HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2 Launched in India: 2000-Nit OLED, Glide Keyboard, Stylus Support By Michael B Norris - July 25, 2025   I Left My Laptop Behind - And Didn’t Regret It Last month, I was en route to a regional tech forum in Kuala Lumpur. My usual travel companion? A compact but heavy ultrabook that’s been my workhorse for years. But this time, by accident more than intention, I left it charging at the office.  What I had in my bag instead was the newly released HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2 inch, still wrapped in review plastic and paired with its Glide Keyboard and M-Pencil. With deadlines looming and hours of panel coverage ahead, the panic should’ve hit me - but surprisingly, it didn’t. Over the next three days, I typed reports, edited video snippets, drew rough infographic sketches, and livestreamed commentary - all from this 508g tablet. It wasn’t just functional; it was liberating. That field experience is what makes the “Can tablets replace laptops?” debate more real th...
