Apple’s iPhone 17, can it Save Apple here? Because if you see, there are going to be a lot of phones in Android. Galaxy’s S25 Edge is yet to come. Foldables are yet to come. And many companies are planning slim phones.
Xiaomi, Realme, OnePlus, all of them are going to have slim ultra phones. But what is the hype of Apple’s iPhone in the meantime? Look, let’s talk first.
iPhone 17
This year, almost everything has been confirmed in the lineup of iPhone 17. Even its launch is planned in September. And already in April, that is, this month, Apple is starting the manufacturing of this iPhone.
It will be made in India later, but first it will be made in China, then it will be made in India. And when the iPhone will be made in India, then it will be sold in India as well.
iPhone 17 New Line-Up
But the thing to say is that this time the confirmation of 4 models has come.
iPhone 17 will remain. And this time, Apple is going to cancel the 17 Plus and launch the new 17, AR 17 Slim. Which will be with a screen size of 6.5 to 6.7 inches.
This will be a slim iPhone that will replace the Plus model. It will come with a single 48MP camera. Apple may introduce silicon carbon batteries in this iPhone.
Because without silicon carbon, it will be a little difficult for Apple to give more battery backup in slim.
But before that, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge will be in the market.
This phone will also be slim, slim, it will come with double cameras. And if you see, a new trend of slim phones will also start in the market.
But it’s not just that. Where in the Pro model, you will get a screen size of 6.1 inches and a screen size of 6.7 inches in the Pro Max model.
This time it is also being said that the Pro Max model may also be called Ultra. That is, iPhone 17 Ultra. It will be a little weird. But anyway, this can also be a thing.
Along with this, in the Pro Pro Max model, you will get 48MP triple camera setups. And moreover, there will be a 48MP main camera in the phone.
Even a 24MP selfie camera will be introduced.
Processor
Apple will also bring their A19 processor, A19, A19 Pro. And I would like to tell you one more thing, 5G capabilities will not be so special in it.
In Android, the Snapdragon based 5G chipsets are better, do not consume much battery and give better performance. And there 5.5G support has already come in Android.
So you can see that Apple has also moved a little behind in the 5G race. Even in iPhone 16e, you got to see a similar case here. Along with this, I can tell you a few more things here.
Apple will do one more thing, that the lineup of the iPhone will be simplified a little and see how to sell more and more.
But seeing Apple, the trend is different. People buy less new iPhones, sell more old iPhones here.
Because last year literally iPhone 14 and 15 were sold and this year Apple plans to sell iPhone 15 and 16 here.
How will Apple 17 Perform Here
Along with this, it is also important to know a few more things. Where there is a rumor that iPhone’s Pro Max and Ultra models will come with 5x cameras. That is, the telephoto zoom lens will go 5x.
While in Android, the 10x zoom cameras are already present here. Along with this, the biggest thing that Apple was forced to do with the iPhone 17 lineup this time.
Because there is more competition in Android. That has happened 120Hz in all phones. You guys know that 120Hz was coming in the Pro and Pro Max models for a long time. But the normal model was running 60Hz.
Now finally Apple has understood that it is important to give 120Hz always-on display in all models. This thing is also available in Android phones worth Rs 15,000. 120Hz with AMOLED.
But Apple was giving the same 60Hz. And you can see how the competition works. Because until the competition is strong, Apple itself will not put things for free. Now Apple felt that it is necessary to put it. Because it is in demand among people.
Along with this, it is heard that the size of Dynamic Island can also be small here in the Pro models. But the probability of this happening will be a little less here. Along with this, the slow charging in the iPhone will continue to come in the market. Type-C port will continue to come. Some special changes are not going to happen there. Apple will remove it with Apple Intelligence.
AI
Try to make their Apple Intelligence by iOS 19.
Because Apple Intelligence has not been ready yet. Apple has fallen far behind in the matter of AI. So it is worth thinking that Apple should enable Apple Intelligence by then. And you think for yourself that Apple Intelligence will be enabled by then.
But before that, Google will bring new changes in its Gemini. More features of AI will come in Android. Which are already reducing on-device.
There must have been more improvements in the cloud. Where you will be able to use more features. So you can also see how Apple is already falling behind in the AI race.
Until iPhone 17, it brings all the features of Apple Intelligence. Android would have gone far ahead in comparison to it. However, one benefit of buying an iPhone from Apple is that you go into the ecosystem of Apple.
IOS is less in those who like it. But in Android, Android updates of 8 years would have started coming by then. Because in Android, Qualcomm and Google have partnered to make a system.
That for 8 years, it is possible to update their flagship processor in the Android version. That is, if a phone is coming on Android 15, it can take updates up to Android 23.
Apple was considered a leader. But now Android is ahead of Apple.
I liked this a lot. So this is also a thing that is going on in the market. Apart from this, if I tell you the overall comparison.
So this year, there won’t be as big changes in iPhone 17 as you were expecting.
The Price of iPhone 17
The price of iPhone 17 will go away this time. But in comparison to Android, companies will control the pricing to show themselves more aggressive.
On the side of Android, you will see a lot of phones with better cameras. Where the camera quality will be greatly reduced. With this, fast charging is already here. Big battery is here. Even Android updates are coming.
AI is also moving forward in Android. And to be honest, I am afraid of this. That Apple is slowly falling behind in the iPhone race. Although, maybe in terms of sales volume, Apple is still a little ahead.
Apple has already led 4th position in India. But that is also only because Apple’s logo is in the brand name.
But if Apple keeps pulling back slowly. And when people find out that your better phones and better products are available in Android.
Then people’s preference will go from Apple to Android. So this is also going on here. But for now, I can tell you that in Android, innovation is decreasing. And iPhone 17 is not able to create the same impact as it was expected. Even the iPhone 16 was not able to generate the same sales figure as Apple thought globally. So it will be interesting to see if iPhone 17 can save Apple.
For some time, nothing will happen to Apple. But in the next 4-5 years, if Apple does not improve its product. If Apple does not make improvements in the iPhone.
The people who are demanding features, do not put them. And the product that clashes with Android has not been made yet. So literally, iPhone may fall behind in this case.
