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...
iPhone 17 Pro India Launch in September: 8K Video, Wi-Fi 7, New Sky Blue Color
San Francisco/New Delhi, July 20, 2025 | By Michael B. Norris
My First Time Recording a Wedding on an iPhone Changed Everything
The first time I relied solely on an iPhone to film a full wedding was in late 2022, using an iPhone 14 Pro Max. I wasn’t the official videographer - I was a guest - but when the hired camera crew’s gear failed mid-ceremony, I stepped in.
Portrait mode, cinematic video, and surprisingly stable footage saved the day.
Since then, I’ve shot dozens of short-form videos using iPhones, upgrading through the 15 Pro and recently testing the 16 Pro’s limits with 4K HDR recording.
Still, I’ve always hit a few walls: overheating during extended filming, slower-than-ideal Wi-Fi transfers, and the front camera’s inability to match the rear lenses’ sharpness.

That’s why the iPhone 17 Pro rumors, especially those about 8K video, dual-camera recording, and Apple’s in-house Wi-Fi 7 chip, feel more like essential upgrades than just another spec bump.
And if the leaks are true, Apple might finally be listening to creators, not just consumers.
According to multiple industry insiders and credible leaks, Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone 17 Pro in early September 2025, continuing its annual rollout schedule.

Major Upgrade Hints Point to September Launch
According to multiple industry insiders and credible leaks, Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone 17 Pro in early September 2025, continuing its annual rollout schedule.
The model is expected to sit between the standard iPhone 17, a thinner “Air” model, and the larger iPhone 17 Ultra.
But it’s the Pro variant that’s turning heads for its design reversal, hardware innovations, and creator-first features.
In a move that might surprise some, Apple is reportedly switching back to an aluminum frame from the titanium used in the iPhone 15 and 16 Pro series.

Design: From Titanium to Aluminum (Strategically)
In a move that might surprise some, Apple is reportedly switching back to an aluminum frame from the titanium used in the iPhone 15 and 16 Pro series.
On paper, this might seem like a downgrade. But from a technical standpoint, aluminum dissipates heat better - a logical step as Apple adds 8K video recording and heavier AI-based processing.
Leaks also suggest the iPhone 17 Pro will feature a glass-aluminum hybrid back, potentially offering better thermal regulation and a lighter weight profile.
Perhaps more notably, a new Sky Blue color option - reportedly inspired by the MacBook Air lineup - could become the new visual signature of the Pro model.
The rear camera module may undergo a visual shift, moving away from the familiar triangular layout to a rounded-rectangle bump housing three powerful 48MP sensors:
Main Camera: 48MP sensor with wider aperture for better low-light performance
Ultra-Wide: Upgraded 48MP lens with sharper edge correction
Telephoto: New 48MP zoom lens, expected to offer enhanced portrait depth and clearer low-light zoom
The front camera is also set to double its resolution, jumping from 12MP to 24MP - a crucial upgrade for vloggers and video callers alike.
Most striking is the rumored ability to record simultaneously with front and rear cameras, a feature long requested by mobile creators.

Camera Layout: Redesign Meets Real Power

Combined with 8K video support, the iPhone 17 Pro could seriously rival entry-level mirrorless setups.
At the heart of the iPhone 17 Pro will be Apple’s A19 Pro chipset, reportedly built using TSMC’s third-gen 3nm process.
Performance: A19 Pro and Apple-Made Wi-Fi 7 Chip
At the heart of the iPhone 17 Pro will be Apple’s A19 Pro chipset, reportedly built using TSMC’s third-gen 3nm process.
While year-over-year gains may be modest in raw performance, AI capabilities and power efficiency are expected to improve meaningfully.
More intriguing is Apple’s decision to ditch Broadcom in favor of its own custom-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip. This chip is said to bring:
Faster download/upload speeds
Lower latency for real-time tasks (gaming, video calls)
More reliable connectivity in congested networks
This level of wireless control - following Apple’s moves into custom GPUs and modems - indicates its intent to own the entire iPhone stack, end to end.
To accommodate these performance upgrades and camera enhancements, the iPhone 17 Pro may increase in thickness slightly.

Bigger Battery, Vapor Chamber Cooling
To accommodate these performance upgrades and camera enhancements, the iPhone 17 Pro may increase in thickness slightly.
Leaks suggest Apple is prioritizing a larger battery, offering up to 2 extra hours of video playback over the iPhone 16 Pro.
To keep performance consistent during demanding tasks like 8K recording or gaming, Apple might introduce vapor chamber cooling - a feature already common in high-end Android phones but a first for the iPhone lineup.
That would solve a real pain point I’ve faced while shooting video in hot environments or editing on-device using apps like LumaFusion.
The iPhone 17 Pro is rumored to come with 12GB of RAM, closing the gap with flagship Android devices, and possibly offering up to 2TB of storage for professional creators.
Display-wise, Apple may stick with the 6.1-inch ProMotion OLED panel, but there are whispers about improved anti-reflective coatings and peak brightness levels for outdoor usability.

Available through Apple Stores, carriers, and online resellers.
🇮🇳 India:
Expected Starting Price: ₹1,39,900
Apple may again offer launch-day availability via online store and authorized resellers, though stock constraints are common in early weeks.
What It Means for Power Users and Creators
The iPhone 17 Pro doesn’t appear radically different at a glance - but under the hood, it reflects a real shift.
By improving the thermal system, connectivity stack, and camera layout, Apple seems to be responding directly to the needs of content creators, mobile vloggers, and power users.
The ability to film 8K from both cameras, push lossless wireless transfers, and record for longer without thermal throttling could make this the first truly creator-optimized iPhone - not just a faster one.
For everyday users, these changes will translate to:
Cooler performance during heavy usage
More consistent internet speeds in busy environments
Slightly better battery life despite heavier features
Two major questions remain unanswered.
First, how will Apple distinguish the iPhone 17 Pro from the rumored 17 Ultra? If the Ultra only offers a bigger screen and slightly better battery, it may struggle to justify a higher price point unless Apple introduces exclusive features (like periscope zoom or improved spatial video recording).
Second, there’s still no clarity around USB-C implementation. Apple may stick to its tiered approach, offering faster transfer speeds only on Pro models - but whether they’ll expand this or enhance repairability remains unclear.
Having worked extensively with past iPhone Pro models for both professional and personal content creation, I can say that performance improvements only go so far.

Final Thoughts
Having worked extensively with past iPhone Pro models for both professional and personal content creation, I can say that performance improvements only go so far.
What matters more is usability in demanding environments, and that’s where the iPhone 17 Pro seems to be heading.
From its thermal design to its wireless architecture, Apple appears to be building a phone that doesn’t just look premium - it behaves like a professional tool.
If Apple delivers on even half of these rumored upgrades, the iPhone 17 Pro could be the most substantial step forward since the iPhone X.

And for once, it’s not just about raw power - it’s about being creator-ready, right out of the box.
